What a weird place! It looks like an old Victorian house that was dropped onto the back portion of a retail/​industrial parking lot. Upon walking in, there was such a strange vibe… not only did the place look sad, it *felt* sad and depressing. The lobby is a cavernous room that, even in the early afternoon when we were there, felt dark and oppressive. The receptionist area was brighter, but with the most harsh and unattractive lighting.
The women at the front desk are awful. Chatting unprofessionally about personal stuff in front of clients, barely looking up at clients when speaking to them, very detached and uninterested. As we walked in, an older female client was leaving the counter and it was quite obvious that they were sick of talking to her. As she said something to the effect of, «well, I should get going,» one of the girls behind the counter sharply barked, «ok, BYEEE!»
The psychiatrist we saw was odd as well. He asked obligatory establishing questions for his notes, then proceeded to state he was going to write a prescription for medication. Previously he’d asked my partner what kinds of medicines he was currently taking. My partner replied that he had numerous prescriptions; the doctor never even asked what they were in order to find out if the prescription he was currently writing could badly interact with his other meds! After handing him the prescription, he was about to send us out the door… no talk of what to hopefully expect from the medication, no offer to refer him to a therapist or any kind of mental care. Just «here’s some pills… come back in a month or two and we’ll see how things are going.»
Overall the place was just strange and extremely unprofessional. We’ll never go back.

So I’m frantically looking for a new psychiatrist because my insurance is inactive at the moment, I called with hope to this office and Yanine, the receptionist is RUDE beyond rude actually.
Great way to help a new patient out already in a bad state of mind.
people like Yanine shouldnt be working in the medical feild.

If I could give zero stars if I could. Never on time. If you have an appointment expect to be waiting for at least half an hour or more before you’re actually seen. Steep prices on late or missed appointments that the DR charges you. Staff is friendly but I don’t like all the adds and paperwork that’s always around for research study. Makes me feel uncomfortable in a way like its sort of pushy.
