Gregg M Etter

Dr Etter and his staff saved me, and my relationship which means everything to me. I am bipolar and he has helped me manage it so I can have a productive and calm life. I can not say enough about Bristol Psychiatry.

Visits are fine - their billing is extremely messed up. They are lazy to deal with issues and should be shut down.

I have been with Dr. Etter for a few years and unfortunately have not found a similar experience to most who posted here. Exemplary problems: 1. I was depressed for 2.5 years. When I asked him to treat it with a well known med that treats depression for bipolar patients that has worked for me before, he refused for months. Finally I printed out the research and presented it to him. Without even letting me give it to him, he accepted the med change. Before I thrust the research at him he told me I would just have to live with depression for the rest of my life. 2. For months I described a negative side effect of my disorder and he refused to believe I was experiencing it. Finally it turned out he was quibbling with terminology. I didn't have the exact term. Then he refused to believe that my problem was worthy of treating, when I was in severe distress. As a result I had to go to Butler Hospital for 7 days. Sadly there are more and they don't just revolve around bipolar disorder.

I have been a patient of Dr. Etter's for several years and have found him professional and empathetic. It's true sessions are brief--the nature of the field these days. That said, and because pills alone are never the whole solution, it helps to have an individual therapist to talk to.

I have been a patient of Dr. Etter’s For 20 years he is intelligent, supportive and a true professional. Dr. Etter will spend much needed time to assess your situation and does not believe prescribing is the only answer. Oftentimes medications are tricky in this field, it takes time to find what works for your constitution. Dr. Etter’s Willingness to support a change in medication or a choice to not use medication is apparent and thoughtful. Dr. Etter is the best.

For 7 of the days I was hospitalized I called Dr. Etter's office and left a message for him to call me back. It wasn't until the 7th day that I finally was able to speak to him. I had refused to sign a patient confidentiality waiver, nevertheless one of the nurses told me they had spoken with Dr. Etter and that he had told them my entire medical history. When I confronted Dr. Etter about this, he lied and said the hospital hadn't even called him. Sad since Dr. Etter is very kind and friendly.

Dr.Etter constantly disregarded anything I had to say and is so pill happy you wouldn't believe. He prescribed medication on 3 different occasions that not only didn't help but made my existing conditions worse from the side effects.. Which he said were uncommon when after research is clearly a lie. Every concern or issue I had was met with a different drug he wanted me to take. He showed no skills of being able to treat any mental issue without relying 100 percent on pills. Very close minded Dr

Dr Etter is a heartless man with zero emotions. He is the kind of man who lets his patients leave his office crying their eyes out still because they only had a 15 minute session with them. He's arrogant, and manipulative and never have I ever had a psychiatrist refuse to give me refills on a medication I've been out of for a week with no refills. This man is calculating and he will have no stars from me. Do not go to this man, he is horrible. Save your money for a human, not a robot.
