Arkansas Psychiatric Clinic

Excellent staff at the front desk, great communication and Dr. Bennett is superb! Great waiting area is well and you feel comfortable in all aspects. As a Family Physician myself, I know a good office when I see one. Look no further, you have found one! A+ A+ A+

This clinic is in a really nice area, and the clinic itself is very nice and clean, they play great music in the waiting room, and it overall has a good atmosphere! I’m always taken back on time and the entire appointment is always so fluid from scheduling, payment, the appointment itself, and so forth!
Now, my Psychiatrist, Dr. Bowling is exceptional! I’ve been in her care for several months now, and she is so intelligent, so personable, listens so intently, and is all around an incredible Psychiatrist. I’m thankful for this clinic.

I drive over a hour to this clinic.
The bigger the city the more options of help you’re going to find.
I’m from a small town and haven’t had the amount of help and care in 7 years from my towns mental health clinics that I’ve found in the past year with APC.
I’m not religious so personally it’s been harder for me to find somewhere in Arkansas that I don’t feel judged for this.
APC are simply just sweet people and I finally feel they’re listening and trying to help me sort through my problems.

Front office staff are very nice and attentive. Dr. Forrest is kind, patient and really takes the time to listen. I never feel rushed & he makes the session personable. I have social anxiety and I feel extremely comfortable speaking to him.

My experience with Dr. Mari Bowling was extremely pleasant! I would highly recommend her. She took the time to make sure she understood my needs and asked appropriate questions that I didn’t even consider for my care. She also explained ideas and the approach to my treatment in a very practical and informative way. I left feeling very encouraged and I feel like should I have any questions or concerns in the future, she would be very approachable and treat me with kindness and respect. Thank you, Dr. Bowling!

I really enjoy the comfort and my therapist and my psychiatrist are the best! One little hiccup though, it’s almost impossible to get a callback from them at least for me. I hope they fix this soon because I have a therapy coming up but have no idea when and I can’t get any information.
Edit: Changed to 5 star! Problem resolved!

I am blessed to have the best care possible. I have been with one doctor for over 13 years, and would not change anything about any experience I have had. The front office staff are sweet and help with any question you have. It's a comfortable place to be. A "safe place"

I have been a patient of Dr Davis for many many years. Ya'll, he is wonderful! You could not ask for a more competent, more caring psychiatrist. And his nurse Stephanie is fantastic. If I call with a problem or question, I'm certain to hear back from her asap.
Dr Davis is also over the TMS therapy. This therapy has been a huge blessing for me when medicine just wouldn't take care of my depression.
The office ladies are always so cordial. They handle everything very professionally and privately.

I have been a patient at APC for quite sometime now. One of the main things that I absolutely love about APC is that they collaborate as a TEAM to provide the most efficient patient centered care possible. The receptionists ALWAYS answer the phone and guides you to exactly who or what you are needing- and ALWAYS has a positive attitude. If you are experiencing a panic attack or just need someone to talk to they will keep you on the phone until they find someone to help you through it.

Larry is the best nurse I have ever encountered in my life. I have worked in Healthcare before and his dedication, compassion, and reliability is unmatchable to any other nurse I have ever met. He truly cares and his actions show it. There have been countless times he has dropped everything he was doing to talk me through my panic attacks. He has shown me through his actions that I am not alone and he is always there to help. Thank you Larry for being my support when I had none.

Dr. Bennett's extensive knowledge of medical/mental conditions has completely changed my life. I have been misdiagnosed by other doctors and put on the wrong medications that made me not able to function and overall in worse condition. She takes the time to listen and reviews the therapists notes to find out what is really going on. Now with a proper medication regimen- I am getting my life back even under less than ideal circumstances. Thank you Dr.Bennett for your proper diagnosis and connecting me to the appropriate therapist. Dr. Bennett recommended Rose Brand as my therapist because she specializes in Trauma.

Rose has extensive knowledge in trauma and has literally pulled me out of the dark pits of my trauma filled past into NOW. She is an amazing listener, attentive and proactive. While you are talking to her she can point out things that you are saying that you don't even realize is not the correct way of viewing a situation or yourself. After years and years of trauma - especially as a child - your brain can process multiple things incorrectly. She has taught me ways to live in the present and corrected my distorted views of the world based off of my past trauma. She has given me hope that I will not always struggle with the darkness of my past and that I have a future. While I am still not completely healed (34 years of trauma takes time), I am able to function through my days and focus on what is at hand. She has many different therapy techniques that actually WORK. She was able to help me resurface my suppressed childhood memories that were causing major dysfunction in my day to day life. I now understand myself so much better and why I was struggling with certain areas of my life. She has helped me identify my triggers and WHY they trigger me. Once you figure that out, you realize it is not always the trigger- it is the trauma associated with it. She is a healer and a lifesaver. If you are feeling alone, have little to no support system, feel like you are "too broken" to be fixed- go see Rose. She will ensure you that every single person can be healed. Thank you Rose for providing me with the knowledge that I needed to understand myself, others, and the world in general. I am healing and becoming the person I know I can be. I am now mentally stronger, have more confidence and will never give up even in the midst of complete chaos out of my control.

I recently started Spravato treatment with Bud. It works amazingly fast especially with the physical symptoms I was struggling with. I can finally breathe again. Bud is very caring, responds fast, and provides excellent patient care during your treatments.

APC has saved my life. When I felt like there was no hope they assured me there was. If you have no friend/family support system- They will be that for you. They will not give up on you. They will fight with you through your battles. Thank you APC for your unmatchable care - I cannot wait to see the person I become because of APC.

Dr Bennett has been my saving grace! So compassionate and she listens to me. She has been the first therapist that I feel has listened to me. I feel better that i have in a long time thanks to her. I always look forward to our visits. 15/10 would recommend! Thankful for her!

I also just LOVE her nurse Larry! He is the best at returning calls and getting anything I need! 15/10 also!

I have been with APC as a patient for 15 yrs now. The clinic as a whole is by far the best I have ever been to for any kind of medical treatment. The entire staff is friendly patient and understanding. Dr Bennett, Larry Bemis ,and Mr Henley are amazing ! They have literally been lifesavers for me !

Dr. Jarvis is the best! He has seen me for years, and is very knowledgeable on how to treat my major depression disorder. Before I saw him, many other doctors were not able to find the right combination of medications to allow me to lead a mostly symptom-free life. I owe him a lot and would recommend him to anyone struggling with treatment-resistant depression.

Larry!!!!!! I am almost 50 years old with 4 kids and a granddaughter. I have talked with countless nurses over the years for myself and all my kiddos ( believe me, that’s a whole lot of nurse chatting experience). So I can say with firm experience, Larry is the most fabulous nurse I have ever, ever talked with. He is so very sweet and mild mannered, yet asks the right questions, explaining everything on point. If only every clinic had a Larry! I absolutely believe if every Dr.’s clinic had a Larry….the world would be a happier place!! As Christian woman, I believe Larry will stand before Christ one day, and at his feet he will be showered with jewels from the Lord himself!✝✝ Thank you to Larry and his amazing work that he does every single day!!

Dr. Bennett is a marvelous psychiatrist! She is kind, patient and always listens to my concerns. The staff are always very pleasant as well.
Here's what you should know, so things go smoothly! They ask you to arrive 15 min early for every appointment to fill out paperwork and have your vitals checked. If you have something come up and can't make your appointment, call and reschedule 24-48 hrs before the appointment. Don't just leave a message! Wait and speak to someone, so you have your new appointment time. If you have a copay, it is due on the day of your appointment.
I've been a patient here for two years. By simply being respectful of their requests to be early and reschedule when needed, I've never had a problem. (If it helps, when I put my appointment in my calendar, I list the time for 15min before. I.e. 2PM becomes 1:45PM)
These people have made such a positive and lasting impact on my life. I would recommend them to anyone!

My husband has been coming to this clinic for over a year now. Dr. Flanagan and Bud, RN are amazing! Everyone I’ve ever come I contact with has been so accommodating and helpful. We drive an hour and a half just to come to this clinic. They’ve helped my husband more in one year than the 15+ he spent seeking treatment elsewhere. I definitely recommend this clinic!

Dr. Palmer is the best I've ever seen. He is truly caring and compassionate. I wish he could do double duty as a counselor because he makes you feel so comfortable and understood. I feel lucky to have found this place. I was at uams before and it was awful. Been seeing him for years and recommend him to anyone. (The only con is that the nurse stays in the room during your appointment, but if you want to be 1 on 1, he will quickly oblige, if not suggest it himself if he sees you are uncomfortable)

Dr. Flanigin is trustworthy, intelligent, and a sweet soul. After only 3 appointments, he was able to find the perfect treatment plan for me. The nurses and office staff were also amazing at returning my calls right away, and being super nice at check-in/check-out. I love this place and recommend it to everyone!

I can’t say enough good things about the care I receive! Rose is absolutely FABULOUS! I’m so happy with everything! It’s easy to schedule appointments! The staff are AMAZING! I highly recommend them!

I don't know if I can put into words how thankful I am. Going on 7-8 years and i knoe God placed me there. When I need them, they are there. In truly panic mode they have ALWAYS set aside time to help me the best they can. Hilburn and Bennett have been able to treat me and navigate me. I just dont know what all to say. Mental health is real and most times you can't control it. If you are willing, open, and vulnerable and absolutely want/need help they take you so seriously and do everything they can to made it. Nurse Larry has gone out of his way so many times to help me better myself. But also the front desk... It is always taken seriously, You can hear it in all of their voices,100% genuinely and wholeheartedly. Thank you for taking me serious and for really being there for me. I am very thankful for this type of protection and utilizing it. And it's all because I "WANT" to be better for the ones I love so much. At times (most) I worry I am an inconvenience, but APC always reassures they are concerned and ready to be there for me. Thank you!

I’m so thankful I found Dr. Leigh Bennett! I’ve only had two appointments with her but after my first appointment, I just knew I wasn’t going to have to look anymore. I had such a huge weight off my shoulders knowing I found someone who listens and cares. I left my appointment feeling like I mattered.
