Will the person who left the Sept 2019 review please contact me!! Shawnarn4@hotmail.com
My mother's mental decline started when she began seeing him. Severely overmedicated. She could barely function. I warned him. He ignored me and continued to give her harmful meds. She took her own life Aug 31 2019.

This doctor is a monster who ruined my life for 5 years. I was overly medicated to the point of seeing & hearing things, I normally did not do that. I lost myself under all the medications he prescribed me and was manipulated to think it was working. I have a new doctor now and I'm not on any pills only an injection and I'm doing better than ever. If you value your health and mentality do not go to this doctor.

Always a no show to scheduled appointments. He will spend time listening to you talk with absolutely no feedback. He will prescribe you with whatever you want. Great for prescription drug addicts!
In general he will come across like he cares. Who knows if it is genuine. You could do worse. Not much to choose from in Tuscaloosa County.
What will be more helpful are access to support groups. Doctors are to busy and can’t be bothered.
Good luck. It’s a crap shoot.

Dr. Newsom has treating me for 20 years. I have never had someone take some much time to discuss any question or concerns I may have about my health. He has always gone above and beyond to give me the care I need, encourage healthy eating, and working with my GP on what medications work best for me.
