Helene's extremely warm and friendly and down-to-earth (not like some other psychologists I've met), but she knows her stuff. She just seems to know exactly what to ask to help me figure out what I need and want to do. I honestly don't know she does that. I feel like I understand myself, and listen to myself instead of everybody else and stand up for myself much better than I used to, though I'm still working on it. I'd recommend her to anybody. (In fact I've already recommended her to two of my friends.)

I have worked for BHP for close to 10 years and this is an excellent place to work. The passion…read morethat my colleagues have for treating their clients with respect, dignity, and compassion makes this a place I can call home. In a highly regulated world where clinicians have to follow so many protocols for State and Federal requirements BHP strives to meet these standards while not losing the reason we all come to work every day...to provide excellent care because we value what we do and who we care for! Outside of the excellent clinical staff we have dedicated leadership and administrative support teams who work passionately every day to serve this same common goal!

Where should I begin…read more I had heard about Kema Health Services because they had a small ad on the back our our church bulletin. (Mistake number one. This is the third business that I have used because of a religious affiliation. Shame on me....but heed my warning, these businesses seem even LESS ethical.) I wanted an appointment with them to discuss genetic testing to determine what meds would work best with my metabolism. I think they must be PART TIME, because no one ever gets back to you and they outsource their answering service to INDIA. India? For a small provider in Frederick, MD. You can't even pay an American to answer your phones? I was looking for an appt. with their main provider, Josyane Kengni. Instead, I was given a person named Sandrine, who is not even listed as a provider on their website. After playing phone tag, I finally got an appt. I show up, there was no receptionist, but there was a elderly couple in the teeny waiting room. They were early for their appt, but had been sitting there for half an hour. I asked if anyone had come out from the back rooms to greet them, and they said no. I waited 10 minutes and walked to the back, and knocked on some doors. Nothing. Finally, someone walked out carrying their lunch and chomping loudly and asked if she could help us. We said we had appointments and no one has come out. I finally get in to see Sandrine, and the first thing she does is ask me the EXACT QUESTIONS that I had spent the previous day filling out online for them (and received a confirmation that I had done so). I literally had to tell her ALL my medical history so she could type it in again. This took up half my appt. The other half was her talking about her kids. It was truly unbelievable. Towards the end of the appt with her, I knew I was not going to have any further dealings with Kema, OTHER than getting the genetic test results. Then I'd take my findings elsewhere. My insurance requires prior authorization of genetic testing, so I provided the information, and Sandrine assured me she would be back to me the following week with an appt for the test. Crickets. I called the number, and reached India, but was not comfortable giving my details over the phone to this man I could barely understand. So I emailed. And I emailed again. No response and it's been 5 weeks since my appt. Now I have to start all over with another provider. Giant waste of time on this unprofessional group. But you can be assured that they wasted no time submitting for payment to my insurance company. Steer clear.

He is not just a pill-pusher like some doctors, which is why I stuck with him even when I didn't have insurance. I've had doctors who have barely even said 'hi" during my appointments before rushing me, and ones who have not listened to my concerns with medications, or listened to my symptoms. If you are an individual who needs medication and wants to feel that "aha, this is what normal feels like" moment, you will achieve that with Dr. Singhal. And if medication isn't what you need, he will give you alternative advice. His methods are well-rounded. I highly recommend. Now is see where another yelper has made an allegation against Dr. Singhal. I do not believe the allegations, but even on the chance there is truth there, we all have personal lives and we all have regrets. I also do not feel this would impact his professional expertise, and the rumors do not belong here.

Most are better saved for another day. But one, "Doctors are like plumbers, if one doesn't work out for you, you go to another," applies here. I used Lifespan Behavioral Health Services for more than seven years. I stayed with this practice because one thing was always clear: The patient came first. No more. Perhaps due to new ownership, money is paramount here now and patients, well they are just supposed to accept that or move on. Recently, I "missed" my first appointment. A telehealth appt., I mistakenly clicked on the wrong practitioner's link. Only 10-15 minutes later when I saw this, I fixed my mistake. But my practitioner (who was online) told me it was too late. I'd need to reschedule. Soon after I received a bill for more than $150 for the "missed" 15-minute appointment. (My first missed appointment in seven years!) I asked my practitioner about this (a nurse, not a psychologist) and she said I was late, and she had to move on to the next patient. No empathy, no second chances, the cash register came first. Moving on to another psychological practice isn't something you do lightly. You've bared your soul to people and getting someone else up to speed takes time. (As Richard Lewis wryly said about the necessary recap, "the crib alone takes six months.") But I'm doing it. Yes Pop, I'm choosing another plumber. Because to quote you again, "Ain't none of us getting out of this one alive," and I'd rather work with people who want to see me thrive; who care more about their patients than their bank accounts.
