Dr. Candace Thompson, MD

I have been seeing her for a couple years. She has been a blessing to my life. Thank you so much for all You do.

The best. Easy to talk to and cares for her patients

Dr. Thompson is truly an amazing doctor. I have a long history of mental health trouble and have had numerous mental health providers. Dr. Thompson is the best by an unmeasurable amount. She shares her own struggles and truly cares about yours. She listens. She understands. She wants to help. She knows her pharmacology and how to best help you. She's not just a psychiatrist, she's also a therapist and friend. She spent 2 hours of her time with me when I was only scheduled for 1 hour. Would recommend her to anyone!

She's so nice and actually listens to you and cares for her Patients!!

I've been a patient of Dr. Thompson for almost 10 years. I thank God for her!!!!!!!

I was in desperate need of seeing someone and found this office online. I called immediately and they were able to set an appointment for the next day. Doctor's offices make me very nervous, but everyone was so nice and made me feel comfortable. I didn't have to wait long at all. Dr. Thompson was very caring and actually listened to everything that I had to say, unlike other doctors. I could tell that she really knows her stuff. I am so glad that I found her and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her to anyone looking for a genuine psychiatrist.

To be clear, I never actually saw Dr. Thompson. I completed the paperwork (twice) and became concerned that this office specializes in addiction disorders. This was not what I needed. Still, the appointment was set, so I decided to move forward until my appointment arrived and I learned that 1. With my HDHP insurance plan, my visit was around $250 and 2. The doctor requires a drug test before she even sees you. I'm completely drug free, but given that we hadn't even met, she did not know what my issues are and had not even begun to consider medication, I felt it was premature, invasive, and diminished a relationship that hadn't even begun. I realized after leaving and talking to a friend in the field that this specialty (additction treatment through suboxone) is common in this area, and the office charges are extraordinarily high compared to general psychiatrists. The office staff was not friendly nor helpful in communicating, and I decided this isn't the right office for my needs.

Does anyone know where Dr. Thompson’s new office is?

Dr Thompson is an excellent psychiatrist. She had education concern for patients than most Drs. There seems to be a great deal of misunderstanding about her practice. She did not relocate her office- she left Healthquest and is a part of a new medical group. She talked about her disappointment that she can no longer accept some insurances at the new office. Dr T truly cares about her patients. She told me her office has offered to continue to see those patients from her old office for a greatly reduced fee. Healthquest has also offered to schedule her old patients with a new doctor. She does not work for free just like none of you would. There are community mental health centers in Memphis if you cannot afford to see someone in private practice.

No communication when her office relocated and my mother’s insurance was no longer accepted. We have called and left messages for over 3 weeks for my mother’s medication. Still no call back. This is horrible!!!!!

I was seeing Dr Thompson for a yr & a half @ HQ until 2mo ago & she was great! I'm seeing another doctor @ HQ now he's good but I had built a repore with her. My psychologist resigned the same month & HQ has no other doc's available.

She actually asks questions and takes the time to get to know her patients like no other these days. Caring, compassionate, honest, and...she truly cares about her patients. Down to earth. Looking forward to seeing her again soon.

Dr. Thompson took the time to listen and properly diagnose me, one can not thank her enough for the true care she has for her patience. Even more so thankful that she wants to find a solution and truly help! Folks, she is a 5 star therapist- don’t miss out. She will help you medically! I’m living proof— Thank you for everything you do Dr. Thompson!!

Such a great Psychiatrist!
