I am a patient of Dr. Mac's.  I go to him because I have a difficult time keeping my focus when I…read moream working on school work and practicing difficult material on the piano.  I'm soon to be entering grad school once I finish my undergrad credits. I decided I'm no longer going to allow the ADD stigma to prevent me from getting the extra support I could get from medication.   The medication he gave me is working far better than the one I had previous experience with - the one I asked him for. I'm killing it at school now.  I got the second highest grade in the class on my Psychology 66 midterm last week - 2 points shy of a perfect score.  I am glad he fought me on my insistence over what I thought I needed. I felt compelled to say something here as the only other review is quite misleading.  It's strange that Dr. Mac doesn't have a ton of reviews, because his practice is packed full of very happy people,  at least that's what it appears like when I'm in the waiting room.  People probably do not favor revealing that they are seeing a mental health professional, and don't want to publicize that here on Yelp.  Yet, it's only right that one of his happy and successful patients say something good, truthful and accurate because the other review here seems unfair and suspect. My friend referred me to Dr. Mac.  Her story is amazing.   Her entire life turned around thanks to Dr. Mac and a therapist that works alongside him.  It really is amazing - the change in her.  She went from being a bipolar suicidal mess - unhappy at work and at home -  to being highly successful in a new, high-paying very impressive job, happily married and is now a mom with a baby girl, all the while beaming with happiness and positivity.  I just want to smack her 'cause she's so awesome now.  Her incredible success with Dr. Mac inspired me to seek him out myself. In regard to the other review here - ethical psychiatrists that actually care about the well being of their clients do not allow them to self-prescribe as I learned rather quickly.  A blood test is standard procedure and it's done to ensure there is not a preexisting health condition  This is an M.D. remember, and we're dealing with medication.  Nobody knows anxiety like I know anxiety.  I've had it my whole life.  It is an indisputable fact that Lexapro (the SSRI anti-depressant) works far better on anxiety than Xanax or Ativan, and there is no abuse potential.  I can't imagine any psychiatrist going with Xanax over a more effective solution that has no risk of physical and psychological dependency.   Because Dr. Mac cares so much about the success of his clients, he strongly encourages them to see the therapist that he works together with.  The true success stories in this realm of life seem to come from medication and therapy together.   He also advises Yoga, exercise and lifestyle changes - but not in a way that makes you feel obligated.   I'm so glad I found the courage to see him.  Dr. Mac is the Mac-Daddy!

Dr. Mac is the worst psychiatrist I have ever known or heard about. Dr. Mac changed my son's…read moremedication after one week, if it did not work. My son was losing his mind due to the changes in medication. Dr. Mac referred us to a Dr. in the same building for testing, as Dr. Mac thought he was bi-polar. The testing doctor, I forgot the name, diagnosed him as bi-polar. Again his medication was changed. I had to remove him from all medication as the medicines were causing harm to my son. I found a wonderful doctor at UCLA who prescribed medication for my son. He is finally doing well. I would never refer anyone to Dr. Mac. If there was a no star option, I would have chosen it. I also met a lady through my sons activities that in our conversation was complaining about her son's psychiatrist. We found out that she was talking about Dr. Mac. This woman, I forgot her name, was complaining about her psychiatrist, Dr. Mac., who threatened that he would have her child taken from her because he was a little violent. No danger to himself or others. Dr. Mac is a danger to others.

Do not get the transoral incisionless fundoplication surgery with Dr. Simoni…read more My husband got this surgery about 2 years ago with Dr. Simoni at a hospital in Riverside. After the surgery, my husband wasn't able to have any follow-up appointments with Dr. Simoni because he left the hospital. My husband has had horrible complications since the surgery...shoulder pain, nausea, and pain when swallowing. Every single emergency room/doctor he's gone to has told him they don't see a problem, but also that they're not well informed on the surgery so that thier may be an underlying problem. Mind you, he's gotten this response on 5 separate occasions. Finally, he was able to track down Dr. Simoni and get a referral from Loma Linda to his practice. The clinic was informed that this is an emergency situation and that my husband is basically on a liquid diet 2 years after his surgery right now. even then they still refused to schedule an appointment for him. Dr. Simoni said they needed a referral from the clinic/hospital where the procedure was performed. Why this is necessary when he already has a referral, and he was the doctor that performed the surgery, is beyond my comprehension. It's extremely unprofessional and says a lot about a doctor when he's making it nearly impossible to schedule an appointment with on of this patients in an emergency situation. My advice: go to a doctor who actually cares, because when complications happen, you don't want to live through the nightmare we're going through and it be handled with such indifferance/carelessness.

I called the office and they said there was nothing that could be done because they sent it to a collection office. After fighting with the collection office for wha seemed like forever I finally gave up and paid a 600 dollar bill and it has hurt my credit as well.
