Dr. Marjorie Gies doesn't deserve even 1 star. She prescribed my son for adderall, which isn't good for depression. After leaving her 3 phone messages that my son was having suicidal thoughts she did not respond. Until I told her that if something happened to him I would hold her responsible, she called me in 5 minutes after that message. I explained his emotional state, and how the adderall effected him, i pleaded with her to try vivance (not sure how to spell), she agreed, but in her next apointment with him she gave him 3 more months of aderrall. My son also shared with her his experience. She so obviously didn't care at all about his well being, she cares about the FAT checks she gets from big pharma for all the meds she prescribes. Beware.

Dr. Gies is an excellent resource. I have referred to her many times with very good results.

They paid close attention to me and all of my questions were answered. Their staff is very friendly and professional. I was very satisfied with my visit. They were helpful and I left feeling encouraged. Dr. Geiss is very compassionate, and worked very willingly with my Doctor in Michigan to transfer my records back and forth and spoke at length
Mi. doctor to assure my transition to SB would be smooth. My doctor in Mi. was even
impressed by Dr. Giess's helpfulness.

Dr. Geis is incredibley professional, kind and understanding. I have had numerous psychiatrists in the past who made me feel rushed and ignored, and as a result misdiagnosed and incorrectly medicated. Dr. Geise fixed everything and is always available over the phone for any between sessions medication adjustment.
