Joel A Holiner

So frustrating. Month after month they do not fill for one reason or another. We complain that our child is at school crying with the school nurse, and leave that message, and nothing. I have to say we really liked Miss Shamika.

I saw an NP at Holiner Group (who I loved) and she spent about 2 hours with me listening to every concern I had and making me feel better about starting on medication for ADHD and anxiety. I will certainly continue to see her. Dr. Holiner showed up at my appointment for about 5 minutes just to approve the prescriptions. In the little time he spent at my appointment, he happened to recognize the college I attended and then continued with, "Are you in a sorority?". After I answered he said, "Oh, are all your sorority sisters blonde?" Not only was this comment extremely superficial and unprofessional, but it made me feel uncomfortable as he was implying that the fact that I was blonde and in a sorority was something negative. I get small talk to understand a patient's background, but this put a bad taste in my mouth. I am honestly glad that the NP was the person I spent most of my time with because she was knowledgeable, comforting, and did not make unprofessional comments.

What does this person even do? had an appointment with him recently, only saw the dr for sbout 2 minutes, and spent 99% of my time there with his staff, who asked me all of the questions and then directly relayed the issues to him and perscribed medication. during this time this man was obscenely rude and talked over me with any question or concern I had. he was very pushy and all around a trashy human being. was informed that I would pretty much only be seeing his staff. which given that they werent rude would probably be for the best however I am paying to see a doctor not a nurse pratitioner, so if im not being treated by a doctor then the price should reflect that. All in all this doctor is absent, arrogant, and a scum bag. I am shocked he is inthe psychoatric medicine field as his behavoir could exacerbate the syptoms someone with mental health issues.

Pay for your own mental abuse here. Those who know...know.

In my experience, I was referred to this doctor by a family friend. I have been suspicious of maybe having ADHD since i was younger, and after an online appointment with a really nice lady (sorry i forgot her name) she diagnosed me officially and i was prescribed Adderall Rx, which has been really helpful for me at my job and every aspect of life. It was a very simple and easy process to set up the appointment. I’ve also spoken to Joel himself and he was very nice and after telling him i am okay with the dosage i’m at right now, he offered to set up a new meeting in 2 months rather than the next month so i could save some money. The only problem i seem to have at this doctor is they tend to bill my insurance incorrectly, and i will receive bills that are much higher than the $30 it should be for each meeting. But after talking with them they are able to fix it and everything works out. Overall i’ve had a good experience at this doctor, although i’ve never gone into the office as everything has been online. In my experience, I was referred to this doctor by a family friend.

Will never see him again. He's a robot with more people on his caseload than he can handle... arrogant too. If your having severe mental health, bipolar issues etc he might be ok. Not substance abuse. Not much empathy or kindness.

Dr. Holiner is very good at what he does. He makes you know that he cares about your situation and is very professional. His staff is as well. I could not be happier.

Dr. Holinder treated my family member at Green Oaks Hospital. He and his allied health professionals helped in alleviating a very deep depression, which motivated my family member in being the “best they can be,” years after his assistance. -Dr. Inez Brabeck

I am grateful to Dr. Holinder for treating my family member. She was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, and has since become a leading treatment specialist, working with people facing this challenge. - Dr. Inez Brabeck

This practice and this physician have saved my life. I am a happier and healthier person because of their expertise and care. They prevented me from harming myself. I trust them all. Stefano is excellent!!

Worst Psy. I have ever been to. Skip this place to receive good care. It's nothing but a revolving door and you are just a number and some money.

I had a very simple not a big deal issue at all and I observed everyone there carefully and it looked like they all hated their jobs, they were all so angry. I was treated like total crap so I never went back, once was more than enough. Ugh....

After being a patient for over 10 years over the last few years I have been shuffled from one PA to another. The last two visits with different PA's were horrible. Neither took the time to listen to any issues. One spent maybe 7 minutes with me . Told me let's try this med. Come back in two weeks. I said no, I am cash pay I will call you and let you know about the med and my bodies reaction. Next visit, different PA , I was told I was required to take a urine test. Why ? I was told I was required every 6 months . I told her I was cash pay so I needed to know how much this would cost She told me , and I quote , " probably $40.00 - 50.00. NOPE, received the bill $215.00 . The Holiner group has accepted no responsibility in two lies. 1. That it is required 2. The approximate cost. I get that he PA may of had no idea of the cost but you don't tell a patient, especially a cash pay an approximate cost and then to be so far off. I have referred patients in the past but never again.

Greedy crook

Dr. Holiner has always been an amazing friend and colleague. I could not be more impressed by his attention to mental health care and his dedication to his patients. We are proud to work with Joel and his group.

Shot tons of people to rush you in give you meds and rush you to the cashier to pay .Awful

He is a wonderful Doctor and I am glad to have seen him.

I was hospitalized and Dr. Joel Holiner was assigned my case. Instead of listening to me when I talked he SANG. He sang whatever he was writing down, he repeated pieces of what I said in a song, and he sang Statler Brothers at me. He made me feel that I was unimportant-just another wrist band, just another file. He wrote prescriptions for medications that I told him I do not need, he had to be told repeatedly that I could not take a medication he prescribed. He wrote 2 of the scripts wrong!

If you wanted to be treated like a number, and see a NP once a month for five minutes, and never your doctor, go here. The office staff is rude, not helpful, treats you like garbage, and is not at all compassionate. I was told if I wanted to see a doctor, it was a two month waiting period. so your appt with the NP lasts five minutes, and they truly ONLY care about money.

Not happy with the office staff. I was asked to come few days back with my spouse. It's quite a drive for us from North Irving during rush hours. But we saw just the nurse practitioner and not Dr. Joel Holiner even when I was very much aware that we need to meet Dr. Joel Holiner. If there were any change of plans - the office should have called me in advance. If patients don't show, there are no show fees. Why there is bad professionalism fees on the office staff?

Poor service; you will never see the actual doctor

Dr. Called That was kind

I have been seeing Dr. Holliner & his PA for ten years. I moved here from the east. My care,treatment have been excellent. My input has never been dismissed. The staff is also very professional.

He never has time for you. He has other important things to do. I actually saw him for quite awhile and never spent more than 5 minutes with the guy. However, he was the one who finally got my medications right. He fakes the “Ill pretend I give a damn about you” and it may show if you see him more than once. If you only see him a few times, my guess is you MAY get one of the fake half smiles as he is busy checking a million boxes on a form about you instead of actually getting to know YOU...

The office staff is so rude! Never actually met the doctor, just the NP. Never going back

I felt compelled to write a review because I saw so many bad reviews, and my son and I have not had that experience. They have been the only office that properly diagnosed and prescribed the medication my son is on now and it was a lifesaver.

I don't understand why there is so many bad reviews! I have had the best experience coming here. The staff is professional and kind. The PA I see ( by choice) is extremely caring, professional, and kind. :)

BEYOND UNETHICAL. This review has been a long time coming - close to 23 years. In September-October 1993, I had just been released (because my insurance plan changed) from a Dallas psychiatric hospital and I was referred to Joel. (I won’t bother giving him the respect of calling him Dr.) My prior hospitalization was for only two weeks for severe depression and clearly trials to find the right medications had barely begun. Before even seeing me, Joel admitted me to Green Oaks Hospital and started shock therapy. I know now that shock therapy is most often reserved as a treatment of last resort. Clearly Joel’s decision to START with shock therapy was motivated by something other than following standard protocols, and certainly it had little to do with what was best for me. At that time, Joel was not only my doctor, he was also the director of Green Oaks and the one who administered the ECT. A few weeks into my hospital stay, I became incredibly dissatisfied with him and the extremely brief sessions I had each day. (3-5 minutes). He wasn’t interested in me at all. I decided I didn’t want him as my doctor and I wanted to switch to another psychiatrist whom other patients really liked. When I told the hospital staff I wanted to fire Joel and hire the other doctor, I was told that I couldn’t do that. They said doctors don’t take patients from other doctors. I reminded them that I don't belong to any doctor. Doctors work for me because I am the one who pays. (I might have depression, but I'm not stupid.) The staff finally gave in and I switched to the new doctor. Unfortunately for me, I still had to see Joel because he was the one who administered the shock therapy. After I fired him, apparently he felt the need to confront me about it, so when did he do so? After I was strapped down on the table right before a shock therapy treatment. It is hard to fathom, looking back, what an incredible abuse of power that was — to confront an already depressed and vulnerable patient when she was in the most physically and emotionally powerless position to respond. It has taken me almost 23 years to move from a place of intense shame for having a mental health condition and for succumbing to this abuse of power. I refuse to stay silent anymore. Thank goodness for the Internet, because I now I have a chance to give an honest review of this man. I don’t have personal experience with Joel now, but by reading the other reviews online, it seems like nothing has changed. Run, do not walk, away from Joel Holiner. BEYOND UNETHICAL.

My little sister is being treated by Dr. Holiner which he hasn't helped her one bit. She has anxiety and he refuses to give her meds for it. He listens not to my sister, but our mother who is on pain meds, lies constantly, and going crazy. I thought the Dr. Was going to do his job, but he has failed. He a worthless Doctor, lots of bad reviews, and doesn't listen to young patients. I would never let him be responsible for my child. Worthless!

Horrible. I thought I was going to be treated by an MD. I paid for an MD. What I got was a condescending PA who did not know enough about the nature of OCD to be treating it. Not only that, average visit time is about seven minutes. Just awful, all the way around. I really can't emphasize that enough.

My experience here at Holliner Psychiatric group was terrible. Dr. Joel Holiner was in my first appointment for less than 5 minutes. I mainly spoke with his nurse assistant, which was also not a very pleasant experience. When I asked for clarification on my diagnoses, his nurse was very short and for some reason got offended. It all felt like a drive through diagnoses and not talking me through the process more. I was very sad and frustrating experience to say the least. Please be advised!!!!!!!

This office is always rude to us, has the worst policies and practices, and on top of that there is ALWAYS a problem. My mother is disabled and constantly in pain. They're one of the only offices that can prescribe her medication to her and for some reason they have ALWAYS messed up her prescriptions, leaving her in excruciating pain for days before we can fill the scripts. They wont even let her husband pick up prescriptions without a faxed written consent. DO NOT GO HERE. FIND ANOTHER OFFICE THAT WILL VALUE YOU AND TREAT YOU WELL.

I was referred here by a wonderful counselor, and from the moment I walked into the office I could tell this was not a place I wanted to be. This office is over booked, chaotic and poorly organized. The staff seem to be incapable of making decisions without discussion with a supervisor which means more time in the waiting room. 4 of the 5 staff members I talked to in order to schedule an appointment were extremely rude and short with me. It seems like this office has more business than they can handle and will process you like cattle waiting in a stockyard. If you value your time and dignity I highly recommend you take your business somewhere else you will have a chance of being treated like a human being who isn't about to rob everyone in the office. To clarify, I have a masters from a major university, was dressed business casual and was very patient and accommodating through out the hour and half of my time they wasted in attempt to schedule my first appointment. Avoid at all costs. I was referred here by a wonderful counselor, and from the moment I walked into the office I could tell this was not a place I wanted to be. … More

I have been going to Dr. Holiner's office for around 10 years. I have never had anyone be rude to me even if I had an issue. They are very helpful. They maybe be short with people but they are busy, getting everyone checked in or maybe that person has had a bad day and doesn't mean to be like that. Put yourself in their place and maybe you could be more understanding. As far as one person who just saw Dr Holiner for a minute in a half, most of the time you will see a nurse practitioner especially if it is for medication management. But you can make an appointment with Dr. Holiner at any time. All I know is that they have been good to me. I have been going to Dr. Holiner's office for around 10 years.
