Whenever I've waited in waiting rooms, the magazine selection the have usually makes the time go by faster, but not here. They had less than five magazines all of which were boring and outdated. I felt very judged during my appointments. I couldn't believe how accusatory and condescending they were, and I couldn't wait for it to be over. They briefly listened to me, but quickly downplayed everything I said or stopped paying attention. They didn't seem too happy to be helping me. Maybe they were just having a bad day, but they could have been nicer. I did not feel safe at all in their care. I definitely had doubts about their qualifications.

This was the worst experience in my life. I went to him looking for a fresh perspective on my condition. He put my on Depakote. I kept telling him my depression was getting worse (I am bi-polar). He kept increasing the dosage on the Depakote - which is an archaic choice in pharmaceutical therapy. One time he said "would you rather get AIDS and be broke or deal with your depression". These are my choices? The medication caused me to lose almost all of my hair and I gained 40 pounds. Ended up hospitalized and the first thing they did was take me off the Depakote. Any type of doctor I have seen have been horrified when they learned I was on Depakote. I never went to see him again. I started a different medication, cut down from a cocktail of three meds to just one. I have never felt better.

They make an extra effort to get to know their patients and find out what they need. They always remember me and make me feel very important. Let me just say that this business is in one of the safest areas around and you will be pleasantly surprised at how lovely the surroundings are. I knew I was getting top-of-the-line treatment when they told me about what they learned at the latest conference they attended, and how they were incorporating that knowledge into the practice. I feel like they go out of their way to accommodate my schedule. I always get the appointment time I want.

It was so nice to arrive and see many fully qualified staff members. I've gone to some places that were very understaffed and I've never had a good experience. This place had a great staff though, and I'll definitely be going back. The office was easy enough to find. Their office was well organized and clean. I could tell they took a lot of time making sure it was presentable. It always frustrates me when I have to spend a bunch of time driving around trying to find a parking spot, but I didn't have to do that here. I found one right away, and it was right next to the entrance. One thing I love about them, is that they're always willing to ask for other qualified professionals' advice when they don't have an answer for my question. I never have to worry about them giving me a wrong answer just because they weren't willing to ask for help.
