I called to get an appt for my son with Dr. McKay, I said he would be self-pay, but he did have TennCare. I was then told the doctor would not see anyone with TennCare due TennCare doesn't pay for meds. I informed them I use GoodRx, not insurance for Rx. I would be completely self-pay. I was told the pharmacy can tell it is TennCare & there was an issue w/ a previous patient who demanded a refund because TennCare wouldn't pay for the Rx. I knew they are out of network & you pay up front, also what does it matter to them if I use GoodRx at my Pharmacy? Dr McKay says on his Bio the following, "He felt a calling into psychiatry as it allows him to spend time and better understand his patients to promote wellness and not just prescribe medications." He felt a calling -- a calling to help? NO, it appears a calling for MONEY or someone who DOES NOT have TennCare, because I think he believes I could not pay the fee. I'd like to thank Dr. McKay for showing me the problem with the mental heal

Dr. McKay was a breath of fresh air after another psychiatrist misdiagnosed me, treating me with medications that left me suicidal and landed me in the psychiatric ward for the first time in my life. Dr. McKay listened, first and foremost. That's what I had been missing with my previous doctor. He helped me get back on track and aided in symptom improvement that I hadn't had before. He's out of network, but I'd rather pay $350 an hour to see him than the $8 co-pay for my in-network doctor who basically caused me to hit rock bottom.

Dr. McKay and his team are absolutely wonderful. I couldn't be happier with Dr. McKay’s deft ability to approach individualized therapy from multiple angles while integrating aspects which are important to the patient.

Dr. Mckay is an outstanding doctor! He is extremely patient, truly cares, actively listens, works with you to optimize your treatment, and actually returns phone calls himself when you leave a message for him. Highly impressive!
