Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The most compassionate Doctor I've had in 44 years
Telehealth
I have been seeing Dr. Helton for 8 years. He is by far the most trustworthy, reliable, and professional doctor I have had in my entire life. He is definitely a doctor that has true compassion for his patients. There have been many times in the past that Dr Helton has gone above and beyond what would be expected of a Doctor. He has helped me with such things as helping me get disability benefits approved, getting my insurance to pay for medication that would typically isn't covered even with a prior authorization. Anytime I have ever reached out to Dr. Helton whether it be by phone or through the portal, he has called me back and took care of the issue that same day. Sometimes even calling me back after his office closes and even on the weekends. I can honestly say that without Dr. Helton's help that I wouldn't be the person that I am today. Dr. Helton if you read this I just want to thank you for everything you have done for me as well as the care you continue to provide. Jon C.

Dr. Helton is the best!
I have been with Dr. Helton several years now and have been very comfortable with him. I’ve had problems in the past finding professionals who truly care. Dr. Helton does well to find what works for you sometimes through trial and error. He actually cares when something doesn’t work because he wants to see you get better. When I have had to call him in between appointments, he always calls that day. When it was hard to get a hold of him due to the companies phone issues, he got a direct line so we could always get a hold of him. I have and will continue to recommend him to others because he is very knowledgeable and a class act. I hope he never leaves because I don’t think I’ll ever find another psychiatrist like him.

Medication management
Dr. Helton is extremely knowledgeable about the pharmacology of psychiatric medications, from side effects and interactions to aligning dosing to life changes. There was inevitably some trial and error at first, but we were able to find a sustainable regimen. He’s also an empathetic and conscientious counselor, even though this is a secondary role. He thinks about his patients between visits and is able to continue conversations and make updates from previous visits even after a span of several months.

This man is the worst. I literally thought he snuck into the office and pretended to work in this clinic. I walked out of the session to the front office and did verify he was a staff "dr." My complaint to Carolina Partners was ignored. I made a complaint with my insurance company as to him being a fraud and urging them not to pay. ..horrible

I have been with Dr. Helton for almost 2 years. As someone who is triggered by M.D. historically, I have been able to talk with and feel comfortable in his care. He will take the time to listen and collaborate on medication but will also stand firm when medically needed. I’m also triggered by calling doctors and I’ve had to do this several times between appointments with him—which is so so hard for me—but he has always returned calls, the same day and is always willing to make adjustments when
