Dr. Peggy Forbes, MD

Dr. Forbes has been quite difficult to work with and runs a sloppy practice. She makes it hard to get in touch with her and fails to return calls in a timely fashion. She is regularly late for appointments. We’ve been double booked before where we had to reschedule because of screwups. She has no ability to get electronic prescriptions for controlled substances, so you have to manually go to the office and get a paper prescription and then make two trips to the pharmacy. She also let her license expire at one point so she couldn’t even continue our kid’s medication and had to get our GP to intervene. I asked another psychiatrist if this was normal, and he advised us to run for the hills. Unfortunately we waited too long to fire Dr. Forbes and regret not taking the advice earlier. You may need to hire your own mental health professional if you deal with her for too long!

Dr. Forbes is a superb clinician. She is thorough, organized, very well-attuned to her patients and their family members. She works with the 'whole person' extremely well. I cannot think of a better psychiatrist, for children or adults, in Atlanta.

Dr Forbes treated me after my daughter died and helped me through the darkest journey of my life. She is very professional yet very warm. I cannot say enough about how much I appreciate all she did for me and I highly recommend hee if you need a psychiatrist who truly cares and is totally competent and knowledgeable.

I've seen her since I was 9 years old (19 years) and she's the best!
