    I have had an amazing experience so far with Neuro Wellness spa. I moved from a university- based…read moreoffice, which was very protocol based. I found the providers at NWS to be kind, welcoming, and encouraging to make my treatment plan work for me and my goals.

    Nuerowellness spa back in 2023 when i first was introduced to Dr. Faynboyn at one point in time i…read morewould have given this place 4 star review due solely to hearing about TMS treatment and I will say that the Droctor is quiet knowledgeable and did help me navigate through an assortment of medication that best fit for me. The shift in when i noticed that Dr. Faynboyn was no longer professional was when he decided to tell me i was making up my aversive reaction to a medication called Lamictal.. He said there was no way I could have gotten that side effect because it was rare. I did not once tell him he was wrong just that i don't like the way this medication is making me feel. I got a second opinion and 3rd opinion one from an urgent care physician and one from a dermatologist. I was right, and he made me feel like I was a crazy person. He somehow felt threaten and thought i was going to sue him or something because he panicked and said no way and started to be rude to me. Which I thought was odd because i looked up to him and thought he was great and understanding. I was also doing and intensive outpatient program where i was seeing another psychiatrist, and swayed away from Dr. Faynboyn and saw her instead. She was amazing. After i finished my program I went back to Nuerowellness spa and continued with another Physician Dr. Quy Pham who was great and I was able to fade of my medication a year later. Everything from there went well. Mind you this is in 2023. Fast forward to today, in December i had a really bad Panic attack and was sent to the ER... My mom tried reaching out and spoke to Roxanna and she mentioned that she would get back to my mom to set up an appointment. This is was a couple weeks away from Christmas, mom waitied for her to return her call and she NEVER did. We come to find out that the week of Christmas i decide to reach out and we find out she is out for the week. Mind you i had no problems with Roxanna before in 2023, we got along great i looked forward to seeing her.. I was appalled I spoke to i believe Jasmine or the girl working in the office at the time she was the the office staff but maybe a Physician but spoke with me and apologized about that and mentioned that someone from long beach would be reaching out because he is covering for Roxanna.. I waitied a whole day and i did not bug because i understand that it is the holidays. I too and my mom work in the health field and admin so we know how busy it can get. I has been two full days now and i do not hear anything. I call again and speak with an intake specialist I believe her name was Sydney and she mentioned that she would call the Long beach office and was sorry about this whole situation. I get a call back and she then tells me that i am not fit to be seen by them and i was flabbergasted i asked why? and she said she wasn't sure but that they recommended i see another psychiatry place.. I was shocked because i ended well with Dr. Quy Pham that I graduated out from support with no longer taking medication for a Year. I was doing really well up until december where my anxiety was up the roof and i had been admitted to the ER. My mom was trying to get ahold of them before things got worse for me and we did not hear back. It is quiet unprofessional and dissappointing as getting help has always been hard in the mental health field. I really needed them and they were no where to be fond. So they really need to take a look at how they handle situations and really take a look at why are they in this field. This population is quite vulnerable and for them to say they care but when someone really needs it they don't do anything about it and let people fend for themselves. Its sad... They will no longer be seeing me or i will no longer recommend anyone to them..

I was lost, frustrated, and suffering deeply. With the help of Dr. Tsuang, I was carefully assessed, and a short-term and long-term game plan for my psychological development and healing was implemented. I think communication, in layman's terms, is a crucial factor in any diagnosis, and all was made simple and explanations realistic. Dr. Tsuang also took scrupulous notes, so time was never wasted and sessions were effective. Without reservation I recommend, Dr. Tsuang, to anyone in need of a top notch mental health professional; moreover, one which specializes in Dual-Diagnosis particularly concerning the impact of PTSD and functionality. Now in 2023, life is great, and I have rendered the negative impact PTSD into a positive outlook on life. I still keep in touch with Dr. Tsuang, although less frequently. His guidance is greatly appreciated as his long term knowledge of me as a patient and a person insures I "stay my course" through life's challenges.

Not only is he an expert in his field, with decades of skill and experience, but also one who's so special for his genuine compassion and effortless humor.

Would certainly recommend him to anyone looking for superb patient care, excellent teaching and mentorship, or a simple laugh! He more than exceeds expectations and is a phenomenal psychiatrist who anyone would be lucky to work with!

The first time they called me at 10am the day of my appointment to let me know that the provider was out. The second time - they didn't even let me know until I walked in the door that the appointment had been cancelled as I didn't fill out the online intake forms. I tried to sign up to the website - but the email confirmations to register the account never came through. The front desk person told me once I got in that if the forms weren't filled out an hour prior to arrival, the appointment gets cancelled. The only other option is to arrive an hour early to fill out the paperwork. Nobody had informed me of this. The only notice I got came two hours prior to my appointment. Meaning, after receiving their notification text - you have to know you're supposed to arrive within the hour to fill out paperwork even though the text doesn't mention that. This establishment is unprofessional and lacks compassion for the patients coming in for mental heath treatment. What a disappointing experience.

He had rearranged his work schedule to be able to attend, only to be told he couldn't be seen because he is currently under the care of another psychiatrist and takes a medication they do not provide. Even after he explained that he was seeking a second opinion and still wanted to keep the appointment, the office refused and canceled on him anyway. This was extremely disappointing and disrespectful. People seek psychiatric care because they need support. Patients deserve more professionalism, transparency, and compassion--especially when dealing with mental health challenges.

Her initial 90 minute "consultation", which costed me $500 out of pocket btw, consisted of the first 45 minutes talking about my problems, and the remaining 45 mins going over introductory paperwork, calling the pharmacy for my prescriptions (with me just sitting there), and filling out medical documentation for me to submit for work. All this on MY paid time. Never had I had any doctors do this. As our session was coming to an end, I presented her with some documentation assuming that most doctors would filled on their own time. But since it had to be during her time with me, her already impatient mood changed completely. I had also mentioned to her during our session that I had experienced a drastic weight lost, weighing about 95 lbs. Her condescending reaction: "Whaat? Go step on the scale over there." Will not recommend. Her office of dark, depressing, and with her kid's toys everywhere.

Never in my life have I had a doctor that has helped me more, pushed me to be my best self and cared more. She is there for me. I now find every other doctor I deal with incredibly disappointing. She is also so brilliant and smart and dedicated. She has also treated my two teenage sons for anxiety, depression and ADHD. In the beginning they did not want to go and fought me tooth and nail. Once they met her and spent time with her they were super fans. To this day they love her. But know that it's a partnership with her and she delivers above and beyond. She defines what a great physician and healer should be.

Maybe she was just mean to me because I'm fat. Her comments made it obvious that weight loss for me was part of the "complex treatment plan" So there were many red flags I shouldve left the second she call me obese. It was uncalled for and irrelevant and being psychiatrist and knowing I have an eating disorder I would think shed know not to comment on my appearance or weight. One of the worst things about the whole appointment is she told me to wean off completely free Lithium 600 my that I'd been taking for a year in 6 days. Being a doctor I would assume she knows how dangerous that could be for me. When I asked if that could make me sick with withdrawal she said if I was worried of getting sick I could wean for 2 weeks then be off it. I looked online it said the dosage should be lowered in increments every 2-6 weeks. I've been weaned off many meds and I know that's not safe to do. She didn't know anythinf about eating disorders repeatedly mentioned weight loss even after I told her I didn't want to focus on weight loss. Seeing as the disease I suffer from thrives off of concept of skinny cures all FML so upset. also asked graphic details of a traumatic experience if I penetrated or touched. Theres no reason you need to know that to help me. Will you prescribe something different if I was touche? How is that relevant. Trauma is trauma. If you're really sensitive and deal with trauma or PTSD or have body image issues or an eating disorder I recommend trying somewhere else. Or try this out. It doesn't hurt to try. You might like her. I'm not coming back. I left feeling so triggered and stupid for opening up about my stuff and having her talk to me like she didn't believe me. Ugh, good luck.
