I started coming to Pisgah Institute 3 months ago and have had a remarkably positive experience with Scot Robinson. It has been an environment that felt safe and worthy of my time money and vulnerability. Scot is a gifted listener that has been able to reach back to previous sessions and connect the dots with the present. There have been many times that with minimal amount of words he has been able to shift my view of a situation and open up never-before-considered options that has lifted much self imposed weight upon myself. He brings light to a session by guiding me to see and realize the personal growth that has occurred even in just 3 months. Pisgah Institute is very fortunate to have Scott Robinson as a team member and I am very blessed as well.

I received excellent service from Danielle Michener. She is kind, considerate, professional and very accurate with her prescriptions. She has much to do with my quality of life and I am grateful!

Pisgah goes out of their way to make sure they have set me up with the appropriate healthcare provider. Tammy K. is an excellent NP who is the perfect person for me. She is professional, caring, and has been very successful in her care for me.

Zero stars for PA Harper. A satisfied patient of the Pisgah Institute for 10+ years, but this a poor review is a direct result of recently being switched to Lauren Parks Harper in Nov. 2025 after Dr. Morrison left for Pardee. My first impression of Parks was not good, I wish I’d asked for someone else immediately but decided to give her one more try, huge mistake. Not even after 2 appts with her she derailed hard worn progress.
I have since learned that of medical professionals w/prescribing privileges Physician Assistants receive the least education and training, they receive no psychiatric education to become a PA. Certainly there are good/qualified PAs but before you agree to be seen by Parks, I ask you to think twice, especially if you don’t fit into a neat little box and are over 40 maybe dealing with newish chronic medical issues that exceed her abilities. My training and ethics requires me to refer clients if I don’t have the knowledge or expertise to treat a particular client, but rather than admit my needs were above her level of expertise and taking the time to connect me with an MD or PNP within the practice, I was told to call the front desk and she washed her hands of me after I questioned her 180 with my previous Pisgah prescriber’s plan AND current published medical guidelines, which I had immediately recognized could put my long term health at risk. Btw, I’m not rx’d opiates, no substance use, not high risk… so I can only assume she simply didn’t want to be bothered to not use the one size fits all approach to prescribing… which literally is what all current published medical guidelines say NOT to do!
When I asked Parks directly if she had read my chart/treatment plan, she literally told me she didn’t care what previous PI providers had recommended when making her own recommendations. As a licensed healthcare professional, it was shocking and maddening in the moment to be experiencing first hand such poor quality of care/zero continuity of care, but using professional care manager’s experience I spoke up as patients have the right to, expressing my concerns/asserting to be an active participant in my treatment. I asked her to consult with my neurologist and spine specialist, and shared what had and hadn’t worked for me in the past, but in response she became defensive and refused to coordinate with my medical team…weird. Why should anyone pay a specialist’s rate to be seen by a PA who refuses to provide the bare minimum of care??? Talk about waste in healthcare.
As a patient I’m still shocked and hurt, having significant grief/depression/migraines at the holidays, being treated like crap at one of the hardest times of the year has been awful. And as a licensed professional I’m very concerned about the lack of ethics/professionalism that other patients may experience. My own licensure board requires at minimum assisting clients with finding a new provider, to not do so is an ethical violation. And because I brought my concerns to her supervising MD , Dr. Gettes, who refused me the courtesy of a 15 minute phone call, apparently I have been retaliated against/kicked out when I was told 3 weeks ago that I would be connected to another provider. As of the day of this review, I don’t even know if I’ll get bridge Rx’s despite being a patient in good standing for over a decade.
I’ve had the same local family doctor, dentist, etc. for 25-30 years, I’ve never written a negative review on a healthcare professional but if I can save one person from having Parks/Gettes jeopardize their mental health it has been worth sharing this incredibly stressful and disheartening experience.
Otherwise, everyone else at PI, Dr. Berg, Dr. Morrison (both who unfortunately no longer work there), an emergency covering PNP/Mitchner who helped me once after hours, and all administrative staff, have always treated me with kindness and professionalism, but the last month of poor care and significant negative repercussions to my mental and physical health, I cannot in good conscience recommend this practice anymore
