Dr. Robert Scott Staton

Dr. Staton is an amazing and attentive psychiatrist who has been surprisingly vulnerable with his own struggles. This has assisted me tremendously as a high achiever because oftentimes people with higher level education, credentials, and accomplishments are somehow perceived as having an inability to struggle with mental health issues. Lucky for me, I have only struggled with severe anxiety, but managing the various symptoms of anxiety at a more advanced stage can be tricky. Dr. Staton is patient and asks very detailed questions similar to that of a therapist almost on order to ascertain the chemical imbalances and which medication can best combat the symptoms without alternating moods and personalities. Having struggled with severe anxiety as an attorney for my entire adult life and career his approach is almost holistic in that while several different medication combinations are required he simply treats the symptoms without attempting to “cure” the anxiety that will never go away by over prescribing or increasing the doses of the typical medications used to treat anxiety that mask the fight or flight and leave one feeling drowsy, numb, or out of character. He is careful to explore alternatives to the harsh controlled substances that could become addictive to some and prefers a targeted scientific approach to combat the chemical makeup of the brain causing the symptoms of the anxiety. He’s the only psychiatrist that I’ve ever encountered with this methodology and I appreciate having found him. Having relocated out of state my experience has been horrible with other psychiatrist that don’t take into consideration a person’s past, current circumstances, career, and goals. In order to maintain my treatment plan, I’m strongly considering moving back to Dallas where I was able to thrive under the care of Dr. Staton. He truly is the best. While he probably won’t practice forever, I hope that he begins teaching courses, writing books, and sharing his methods with other psychiatrists. His ability to recommend non-prescription alternatives are impressive and I hope to see him share with other highly accomplished over achievers that just need to realize that it’s okay to have mental health that is not okay.

This man should not be practicing medicine. I know 2 people who used to see Staton on a regular basis. He had both on so much medication that they both ended up in very dark places and had to live in outpatient facilities for extensive treatment. DO NOT see Staton. He is bad news. He doesn't deserve any stars but I had to choose one to submit my review.

Disregarded opinions of three previous physicians. Poor clinical expertise, at best.

Dr Staton is the most attentive physician I have. He has went above and beyond to care for me. He constantly checks on me to make sure my life is getting back in order. I feel blessed to have the quality of care he has given me. Dr Staton was recommended to me by a good friend and I would recommend him to my friends as well. He has helped me more than words can say.

Dr Staton is a very caring individual. He is by far the best Dr I have ever been to. He knows the brain functions better than anyone. I have been to many psychiatrists before him and I can say he is the only one who diagnosed my problems correctly. If there were 10 stars, he would get 10!

Dr. R. Scott Staton is by far the best physician I have ever been treated by without exception. He routinely goes above and beyond the call of duty and he genuinely cares about my health and the health of others I have referred to him for treatment. In over two years, he has been punctual, professional, courteous and kind. He is very good at what he does and is not in the practice just for money and prestige like many other Doctors. Can't say enough good about him in this short space.

Dr. Staton is a very kind, caring, and competent physician that understands the adversity, various issues, and situations his patients are in. He does not look at patients as a number he looks at them as human beings and truly wants the best for his patients. Dr. Staton is a life savor.

Highly recommend Dr Staton, very educated and takes time to listen to his patients, and truly cares for his patients' wellbeing. He is thoughtful, remembers details and genuinely puts his patients first. I highly recommend Dr Staton as he is one of the top psychiatrists in Dallas!

I was referred to Dr. Scott Staton in Dallas by 2 other well know Pysciatrists and my Counselor. After spending more then 5 years with sever anxiety and depression. Dr. Staton spent a long time researching my symptoms, medical records and history, along with spend a lot of personal time with me. This in contrast to most in his field that spend a half an hour and write a quick prescription. He found the root cause of my issues and was able to prescribe a custom treatment plan. He saved my life!

I was referred to Dr. Staton by 2 other local Pysciatrist and my Counselor after spending 5 years with severe anxiety, ADHD, and PTSD. Dr. Staton spent a lot of one on one time with me, as well as researching my medical records and history. Not the far to common ; 30 minute session or two , followed by a quick diagnois and prescription. Great office and very responsive.
