Very check the box mentality, don't really care about their patients. They lack the resources for their provided services and refuse to remedy simple errors. Save your time, money, and mental health! Seek help from a PROFESSIONAL somewhere else.

Therapist didn’t even introduce herself to me if I wasn’t told her name when setting up the apt I wouldn’t have even known it… she was not understanding at all and did nothing to help.

They have nobody to deal with medication issues if your doctor takes a vacation or a sick day. You have to call to get your meds refilled, but if your doctor isnt there they cant refill your meds; but they expect you to know your doctors schedule even though they do not tell you that your doctor is going on vacation or out sick. The doctors do not prewrite perscriptions for those who will need refills while they are on vacation, but you cannot call in for a refill on controlled substances until you are out of those meds, meaning if your doctor is on vacation when you run out and need a refill you cant get it. They make you sign a paper saying you wont get your perscription from any other doctors, but have zero doctors handling care for patients whose doctors are not available. They blame the patients for not "being on top of their refills" when those same patients have zero knowledge that their doctor is not going to be there. I have never in my life dealt with a doctor who writes prescriptions that leaves on vacation without either pre-writing perscriptions or giving their meds cases to another doctor to handle in their absence. Its nothing but pure laziness on the doctors' part, something that is completely avoidable.
