"i love my provider that i see, but i only come here because she had to transfer offices. it is IMPOSSIBLE to get someone over the phone, and it always ends up with me waiting to reach someone for 45 mins - 1 hr"

Patient review, LifeStance Therapists & Psychiatrists

"He does NOT support his patients if you have a problem... I am 3 wks without medication that was his job to properly refill. My guess is he has taken on way too many patients and the money is too alluring"

Patient review, Dr. David Kalkstein, MD

"This place is run like a prison. If you want your loved one's spirit broke, this is the place... They dont care about you, but they do care about their cellphones."
