I liked the man. Though he definitely marches to the beat of his own drum and is a tad narcissistic. This is just how his brilliance manifests, which comes across as brash. But he is the real deal i thought. Gets things the other docs dont get. Interprets and analyzes and diagnoses accurately. Highly recommend based on our experience.

Horrible in every aspect. They do not return calls -getting them to transfer records was painstaking. My daughter wanted to talk and the doctor only gave her limited minutes each time, did not listen to her, and threw medication at her without ever knowing what her issues were. Staff is extremely nice, but incompetent and uninformed. No matter what happened, it was never "their" fault. They took no responsibility for anything. I cannot imagine why they were ever recommended.

I chose to see this psychiatrist and his staff. I am not a person that is good with new people, situation, and or change. I'm on the defense from the beginning. When I entered the receptionist was polite and friendly. They then had me come back where someone took my weight, blood pressure, and etc. I was then placed in a room with a computer by myself which gave me privacy. After answering many tests and games a nice lady named Allison interviewed me and went over my life's history. She was so kind, patient, and understanding. I'm so happy to have met her and and to be able see her in the future on a regular basis. When the portion was with Allison was done, she left the room to discuss the situation about me. Dr.Gualetria entered. He introduced himself and struck up a conversation unrelated to why I was there. He made me feel very comfortable. He really listened. It's hard to find a a Dr. you talk to, and trust. Trust doesn't come easy. I know it's quite difficult for many people to open up to doctors but they really know what they are doing.
Please know that the staff and doctor are extremely compitent and caring. As patients we may not always agree with what we here but I can assure you they have our best interests at heart.
Once again I thought it best to share my personal opinion in hopes others might find it useful.

This was one of the worst experiences of my life. I was referred to this man by UNC Hospitals. I have NO idea why they referred me to him. This man is horrible... the whole practice is. When people say they use you as lab rats, they're not kidding. Although I came for a psychiatric problem, NOT a neurological one, I had to sit through HOURS of neurological testing on a computer. I scheduled my appointment for 9 AM, unaware that their standard new patient procedures take 3-5 hours. Yes, that's right... FIVE HOURS, which is almost a full work day. When I got there and was informed how long it was going to take, I mentioned I had class at 12 and needed to leave by 11:30. I'm a college student and it's the second week of class. I was told I had to stay or pay 75 dollars for a cancellation fee. So I emailed my teacher and stayed... I went through the hours of testing and then FINALLY the doctor came in to see me. He IMMEDIATELY started yelling at me about my poor self care. I didn't get a chance to explain that my poor self care was 100% related to the psychiatric conditions I was coming to seek help for.... I ended up in a SEVERE panic attack and a relapse into my eating disorder. I left early and was told my copay could be refunded. When I called to make sure my copay would be refunded, I was told by the staff member on the phone that what happened to me shouldn't have happened... but after I had calmed down in the hall enough to the point to be able to breathe and went in to confront "Dr" Gualtieri, I was told he "left" the office. I was sitting in the hall in between the ONLY two exits and would have seen him had he left. He didn't leave, he just didn't want to talk to a calm me asking him if he triggers all his patients like this. After reading many reviews when I got home, I saw he DID trigger all his patients like this. If you are looking into going to this doctor, please don't. He's abusive and I'm looking into reporting him to the medical board. A man who is supposed to be a psychiatric professional but who thinks it's an appropriate response to a depressed and anxious person having poor self care habits that they're horrible and shouldn't seek treatment because of their horrible habits doesn't deserve to practice. Period.
