The psychiatrist I worked with seemed more to be "filling a…read morequota" and "ticking boxes" than really listening or caring. We decided to try out a medication which I would later find out I was allergic to. When going off that, I asked for another medication I have been prescribed for 6+ years. He quickly refused (which I think was in fear of his reputation and job) and didn't offer much explanation. Very discouraging experience. They offered to refer me to someone who might be willing to prescribe the medication, but I made the decision to go off all medication and prioritize therapy. Not worth jumping through all the hoops these people set up for you. Especially when one day, they just decide you can't have it anymore :) Overall I found the intake process very easy, and communicating with my psychiatrist was not a problem. From a human perspective though, I think they care more about claiming your insurance money than your mental health. If you are in need of a locally practicing psychiatrist who can prescribe unscheduled medication for you, like antidepressants, this will probably work fine for you. If you have more serious medication needs I recommend looking elsewhere, as they will not take you seriously.

The recent services from Bethany at Albrecht Audiology have been a life saver…read more The hearing evaluation was much more thorough than at a previous local provider and really uncovered my specific hearing loss. Bethany has great empathy and caring for me and did not push any specific models to me. Albrecht Audiology has fitted me with the Oticon Real behind the ear hearing aids. These are an upgraded from basic models. I did this because I have been wearing Oticon OPN found there is a HUGE difference in my hearing. I have moderate to severe loss of hearing in the higher frequencies and tinnitus The Oticon Real provide crisp clear edge to all sounds! I can hear so much more than I could previously. Conversations with friends, family and coworkers are easy to understand and I feel like these aids have opened up a part of me that has been suffering with loss. The pricing for the same model is so much more affordable than my previous local provider.

After a bad experience a few years ago with an audiologist, I was reluctant to try again. This…read morepast year, my tinnitus became unbearable and my hearing was compromised. Not sleeping at night and not being able to hear most of conversations made every day living difficult. Dr. Bethaney Tessitore was so attentive to my needs and gave me all the options available. She explained my situation in detail. She changed my life. Because I lost my hearing gradually, I was unaware of how bad it had become. I am very happy that I took her advice. I am extremely pleased with the results and grateful for the personalized care and the kindness and understanding Bethaney gave me. I am one happy lady!

Had positional vertigo. First I spent time with Dr. Wakefield (audiologist - awesome) then a same…read moreday appointment with Dr. Kao. He seemed disappointed that I had such a mundane diagnosis as vertigo and not something sexier like Meniere's (sp?). He barely looked at me, told me to watch YouTube videos on how to do the Epley maneuver and I can go. I started asking some questions and he opened the door and started walking down the hallway. He was done with me. Probably less than 1 minute spent with me. I followed him down the hall asking if he could show me the maneuver, and he said to watch the videos or go to PT. He said we don't do that here anymore. I asked for a prescription for PT 1/2way down the hallway and he seemed surprised. He sighed and said ok. His staff is super nice and very helpful. I never give one star reviews, but this was crazy.

Jena has been the most excellent therapist I could have wished for--in listening, understanding, bringing both professional and personal knowledge to bear on my process of trying to get freer of all this and be able to move forward. She introduced to me concepts and terminology that shined so much light on things I've been through, made them understandable and thus, able to be dealt with. Jena asks questions, suggests alternative points of view about things that I had never considered. I can't say enough about how helpful my therapy with Jena has been--the progress I have made is enormous. Also, the physical space itself is beautiful, and everything to do with billing and scheduling has been very easy and accommodating.

I have been going here for a number of months, and I every time I have had to wait for at LEAST 45 minutes, usually more like an hour. As a college student, this is enough of a hassle, but to make matters worse, Dr. McCubbin only works until 3! This makes it next to impossible to schedule an appointment. Not only are her hours very short, but due to how late the appointments always are, there's no way I can schedule an appointment until my classes are over for fear of missing a class entirely. The patients who come here typically reek of cigarette smoke and none of the secretaries seem to remotely enjoy their job.
