Staff and Office Issues
Reviews highlight issues with the front office staff, including unprofessional behavior, lack of communication, and disorganization. Patients have reported being told conflicting information, having phone calls and messages ignored, and experiencing delays in receiving medical records.
Lack of Trust and Care
Several reviewers express a lack of trust in the practice, feeling that they are more concerned with making money than providing quality care. Patients have reported being rushed through evaluations, being prescribed medication without proper appointments, and being dismissed if they don't comply with the practice's schedule.
Scheduling Issues
Scheduling appointments is a significant issue, with patients reporting long wait times, cancellations, and unkept promises. Some reviewers have been told that appointments would be available weeks or even months out, only to be denied or ignored.
Positive Experiences
However, a few reviewers have reported positive experiences with specific therapists, highlighting their exceptional care, attentiveness, and understanding.
Therapist Quality
While some patients have reported negative experiences with therapists, others have praised their therapist's guidance, support, and expertise in helping them navigate life challenges.
