I can't really speak on the quality of the IOP or PHP programs…read more My experience just... was not what I expected at all and I had since found better sober livings (which is saying a lot, because those were still inherently stressful but I at least stayed long-term. La Jolla Recovery set the bar very low). I've been in sober living for a year now, and I am now leaving. Never any relapses, graduated a program, did all the things. I'm at least in a better place from it. La Jolla Recovery was NOT that place for me. I began in April 2025. I stayed for a total of two nights before I had to leave to go to the emergency room, back to the inpatient. I was inpatient for about two weeks before I came to La Jolla Recovery. I had recently quit cannabis and was seeking mental health treatment. At first glance, it seemed chill. I had friends who had gone here and apparently had a positive experience. The groups were decent, staff were friendly, there was available snacks, etc. They had outings at the cove, etc. However, the sober living was......... awful! I stayed at a sober living house where I was immediately prescribed medication I had not taken while inpatient, but was forced to take it. One of these medications were entirely new to me, Trazodone. There was a delay in getting my mood stabilizers, anti-psychotic, and anti-anxiety medicine. I had never taken Trazodone before, but having nothing else available to me, I took it as prescribed/was pressured into taking it by the sober living manager who organized medications. The first night, I had stayed up ALL night. I was hyper vigilant, no need for sleep, and a little paranoid. During the day, it was... okay. I didn't really know what was impacting me considering how vulnerable my mental health was and the chaotic nature of being in sober living for the first time. The second night, I took the medication again. Again, I was feeling overstimulated, overwhelmed and restless/anxious. The sober living manager gave me a 2nd one, and I felt pressured to take it/was told "it would help me calm down and sleep"; that's when the shit show began. Immediately, I started hallucinating visual shapes and became scared. The best way I could describe it was "my brain was on fire." I have a history of epilepsy in childhood, and my first thought was "Oh my god, am I going to have a seizure?" My mind began severely racing and I asked her if I could call my parents and I thought I needed to go to the hospital. Coincidentally, my aunt called during this time. She, and another house manager, told her I had gone to sleep and didn't let her talk to me. This was a lie. I sat on the sofa, feeling severely anxious and panicked. I was not aggressive, overly disruptive, anything of the sort. Everyone was in their rooms at that point, as it was time for bed. I did, however, kept asking for them to call my parents because I was afraid I was having a medical emergency (I definitely was) and asked to go to the hospital. I had never hallucinated like that EVER, I had no previous history of psychosis. Initially, she told me "I am NOT going to let you ruin this house for the other girls," meanwhile, I had gotten along with the roommates and even knew some of them from having been in recovery before. I was clean, kind, and tried my best to be considerate. I introduced myself to people, wrote a note explaining my situation, and tried to be as mindful as I could be considering I was already in a vulnerable state, having experienced a death in my family, a sexual assault, and other traumatic occurrences within the few months prior to me seeking support and help. Then, she and the other woman (a fellow house manager?) threatened to call the police and have me taken away in handcuffs. I had done NOTHING illegal; I had no substances on my person, I respected everyone's space and items, I broke no laws. Holy hell, I was there for 2 days and was trying to get acclimated to a new environment. What was the crime, having a mental health episode as a result of a new medication mishap? Eventually, I was able to get my parents on the phone. They spoke to her directly and said that if I could leave the sober living in an ambulance, they would meet me at the hospital. I waited patiently for the ambulance and went to the emergency room, where I waited all night and was placed back in inpatient in the ICU at Sharp Mesa Vista. There, I was restabilized and put in a different sober living. The aggression from the house manager, the lack of empathy, the lying, and the arbitrary difficulty to even get into communication with my support system was actually insane. She felt like a wolf in sheep's clothing; fronted as a kind and caring person, but then would switch and be quite scary once I was in crisis. I was told by one of my friends who works in recovery that she has since left/been replaced, but oh my god, I pray that they thoroughly vet their housing managers at this point if they want retention. 0/5 stars. Avoid.

Do not go here do not let your loved ones go here. Brian in…read moreadmissions told me he was signing me up for a 30 day dual diagnosis program. After being there 6 days I was told I have to do 30 in detox then I move to mental health house and do 30 there. He knew very well I had only 30 days. The house on their website that's all beautiful on the beach, only holds 6 clients. And the detox house is nasty old rundown apartments with old couches, no table to eat at, nothing on the walls. Just like a frat house. Everyone just sits in their rooms watches tv and eats junk food. Brian from admissions showed up when I became angry that he lied to me about my time there, and he started trying to convince me that doing the program their way was what was right for me. I left and it really screwed me up to have been lied to and shoved into the wrong program just so they could make money They are taking advantage of people with mental illness and people with substance abuse issues by signing them up for programs that do not meet their needs.

I'm still happy with them, years later. I have had major depression since childhood -- something…read morethat takes a different kind of understanding in order to treat. Finding a psychiatrist who can do that is not easy, but Dr. Sivtsov is one of them. I have always felt that the doctor listens to me -- that my thoughts about myself are valuable here. That's incredibly important. I am always involved in decisions about medications and treatments. And the doctor is willing to think outside the box when it's called for. The staff is great -- particularly the billing staff -- who have been incredibly helpful over the years . The criticism I see in reviews here is that the doctor is blunt and it makes people feel unwelcome. But most of these criticisms are really about his demeanor, not his clinical ability -- and "blunt" isn't the same thing as "mean" or "unwelcoming." The doctor doesn't present you with the expressive warmth that's common in American medical settings -- the small talk, the overt gestures of friendliness. Part of that is that he's an immigrant, and that style of interaction isn't the norm in the culture he grew up in. But that doesn't mean he isn't patient-focused -- you can see it in the time and effort he puts into his patients. He'll take as much time with an appointment as he needs, and not rush you out of his office. And he'll take the time and effort to really advocate for you with your insurance company. Those are all very patient-centered acts -- he just doesn't express it the way someone raised in the U.S. typically would. And that's fine. Not everyone wants that kind of expressive warmth. I find it stressful and off-putting, personally, so its absence at Silverlining is a relief. But I know that same style puts other people at ease, and being at ease helps them talk more openly about their mental health. If that's what you need, there's no judgment from me -- please go where you can communicate best. Good communication gets you the care you need, and getting that care matters more than anything else. You won't find that style at Silverlining. But if it doesn't matter to you, or if -- like me -- it reads as forced or insincere, or if its just socially stressful, seriously consider this place.

It made me feel heard and gave me clarity as to what happened. Yelp will not let me delete the review for some reason so I figured I would leave an update. I think in the future it would be helpful if staff call back to schedule appointments rather than organize them via email. This would have helped with the communication and confusion. I am struggling with my mental health and managing appointments can be challenging as is. I will be giving them another shot.

I had a very positive experience with Dr. William Bresnick…read more I was in a difficult situation because my childhood ADHD records were no longer available, and I needed a comprehensive, current psychiatric evaluation. Dr. Bresnick took the time to listen carefully to my history, asked detailed questions, and completed a thorough evaluation. He prepared a well-organized report with supporting documentation and provided clear treatment recommendations. He also communicated with me promptly after the evaluation and made himself available if my VA providers have any questions regarding the report. Throughout the process, I felt that he genuinely cared about helping me and treated me with professionalism and respect. If you're looking for a comprehensive ADHD evaluation, I would recommend Dr. Bresnick.

I didn't know much about TMS before speaking with Dr. Wycoff, and with how severe my symptoms were, I was willing to try anything at that point. It was one of those things that sounded too good to be true, but my results have been absolutely life changing! I don't know how I was even functioning before going through TMS. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I had Kristiana as my treater and she was amazing! I actually looked forward to going to TMS everyday and getting to chat with her and watch our show. I also have Dr. Fanous as my psychiatrist, and it's nice having someone that actually listens and understands. I highly recommend coming here for treatment!

I discovered Dr. Hubbard's practice while searching for a TMS clinic following a recommendation…read morefrom my therapist for TMS as a new means for treating my longstanding depression and anxiety. Not only did they prove to be the most ideal in terms of distance away, but they also turned out to be one of the most effective TMS clinics in the state. They proved this latter claim by my own fantastic experience undergoing TMS treatments under their effective and supportive care. I was first assessed by Dr. Wycoff (and her lovely dog) and we discussed my background with depression and anxiety. She determined that TMS would be an excellent option for me to utilize after my previous experiences with treatments that were limited to only traditional psychiatric drug-based approaches. A week later I was further assessed by Dr. Hubbard himself who confirmed that I would be an excellent candidate for TMS treatment. Within a few days, my whole treatment plan was scheduled and it began with an initial mapping and the first TMS treatment. Marissa was my TMS technician throughout the entire 36 treatment long process. She was new to the treatment process but she learned quickly under the tutelage of other TMS technicians and I consider myself lucky to have been her first patient. Quickly, TMS treatment became just another part of my regular routine each weekday. I'd say hello to the front desk, fill out my mood questionnaire in the waiting room, and be led to the treatment room by Marissa where we'd chat during the simple and painless treatment process. Before I had started TMS therapy, I had tried talk therapy, psychiatric medication, intensive outpatient programs, and more. But after only a few weeks of not feeling much change through TMS treatment, I began to feel the weight of my depression and anxiety slowly lift off my shoulders. The symptoms of both conditions continued to decrease to the point where I was able to handle a difficult process of seeking, interviewing for, and eventually finding a new job. All the way, I had Marissa in my corner as a stable and encouraging figure as we both navigated the TMS treatments and updates on my job search. Within no time at all, I had reached the half-way check-in point and had only good things to report about my experience with TMS. My daily mood questionnaires also showed that my symptoms were improving over time. I continued throughout the second-half of the TMS therapy process and then shifted into the "taper off" period of the treatment within a few weeks of my half-way check-in. That meant I only had to make it to treatment on every other day for the final two weeks of TMS therapy. And finally, I reached the end of my TMS therapy just as I had accepted an offer for a new job. It was an emotional and mental boon to have TMS throughout the job search process. And I felt ready to enter a new chapter of my life with my depression and anxiety now in check after years of struggling against them. I visited with Dr. Wycoff again a month after my treatment ended and had the chance to say thank you to Marissa and the rest of the staff. I highly recommend Dr. Hubbard's practice for anyone interested in pursuing TMS as a means to finally get their depression and anxiety under control.

He gets refills done quick when I need them and most of the time I don't have to go into the office to pick up my scrips. One of the few doctors that saves paper and is helpful at finding the most cost effective ways of getting me my medication. Whenever I see him he makes certain that we touched all bases and nothing else can be done with the current visit. After seeing him for nearly 6 or 7 years, I had a life changing event and he takes even more time just to listen and make sure that he is providing the best care possible and by spending the extra minute, he once again will make sure that there isn't anything more he can do to make my life better. Although he does take insurance, he doesn't rush like most doctors to the 6 patients an hour that is required for most doctors accepting insurance. If something requires more time and attention, he will make time to help. He makes me feel comfortable about talking about even the most embarrassing issues and dealing with the situation in the most dignified manner. Finally, when he doesn't know exactly the right treatment he will refer to someone that is more knowledgeable in the field that the ailment requires. We see things the same way about drugs, meaning less is more. He doesn't have that mentality that "there isn't anything my prescription pad cannot cure". It's more of a less drugs is healthier in the long run. Plus, his signage inside every room is great. Check the pictures! So those people "shopping" for doctors this isn't your guy for getting your fix he's a doctor, not a drug pusher/dealer. All in all, I'd recommend Dr. Shamblaw as a solid base for health care for anybody. Solid GP/Family MD. Side note: sorry it took 6+ years to write my review.

They held space for me to process, to heal, and they never stopped advocating for me. I felt deeply supported in every way--clinically, emotionally, and humanly. The thought of leaving their care because of a move is devastating. Their love for what they do is real, and it shows in every interaction. I don't know if I'll ever find a practice like this again--and I'm endlessly grateful to have been in their care during the time I needed it most.
