No one wants to be at their low point, but it does happen unfortunately. I was at my lowest point when I first went to see Dr. Guo. I had given up on myself and life at that point. But even though I gave up, Dr. Guo never gave up on me. He stuck by me, which is very important, because not all psychiatrists will see you if they think you might be too high maintenance. And even though I didn't have much faith in myself, I always had some faith in Dr. Guo. We would go through a lot of trials of what the best medication for me was. It would take us 2 years to find the right medication. But during this time, Dr. Guo understood my disappointments when certain medications didn't work and always had my confidence I was still in good hands. I am giving 5 stars not just because he's a great psychiatrist but because he made me realize the therapist I initially saw was not working. I had seen a therapist and it wasn't working, I simply thought I was untreatable and nothing could be done for me. Luckily enough, he was able to realize the therapist had not explored all available avenues for me. So I changed therapists and boy what a difference it made. By the time I was with the new therapist, we had found the best medication that worked for me. Today, I don't see Dr. Guo regularly as I am doing much better. Also, I have the confidence if I ever fall to my low point again, Dr. Guo will help me get back up. As I said in the first paragraph, no one ever wants to get to their low point, but when it does happen, you need someone who is there for you at your low point. Dr. Guo was that man.

Here is a real review of Providence from a real former client. This is not a legitimate provider…read more Their services do not meet the minimal standard of care, and their talk therapy is irrelevant to substance use disorder. All they do is promote faith-based new age pseudo-religious nonsense (i.e. they are not evidence or science based), and "Dr" Heran was very dismissive when I expressed my concerns. For someone with a non-medical PhD, it's disturbing how his scope of knowledge is so limited. Their psychiatry consultant Dr Steinman was a clown, giving me medication for a made-up mood disorder (aka "dual diagnosis") so they can add another billing code. Not once did Dr Steinman offer medication for addiction such as vivitrol. What a disgrace. After I switched providers, I started on vivitrol, and it made a world of difference. Since "Dr" Heran is not a real medical provider, his ignorance is not only negligent, but also dangerous. People were relapsing while I was here, and they were more than happy to ship these people off to Caron and profit off their insurance when they came back, like a revolving door. They contradict themselves and violate your trust in order to keep you from making real progress as long as they can extract more insurance money. My Providence therapist Scott Strubinger (who runs a private practice called New Truth) was a serial liar. Our group sessions taught me nothing about coping skills, and the individual sessions were literally the same conversation every week. At one point, Scott staged an unsuccessful intervention against me to force me to shell out more money for Providence. Scott is a detestable excuse for a therapist. Multiple members in my group spoke out about his constant lying and manipulation. But "Dr" Heran saw no problem with that. It's no wonder that I never made any progress with the clinical objectives. All they care about is money. Billing is a flat out lie. "Dr" Heran's husband Gabe does not tell the truth when he explains insurance coverage. He told me that my insurance would cover services in network, and then I was blindsided by an out of network bill. When I confronted Gabe about it, he denied everything he told me previously. How unprofessional. It's ironic how "Dr" Lau is so unorganized yet has a nonsense PhD degree in organizational management, whatever that means. What business does he have working in a therapeutic setting? As a medical doctor, the kind who medically treats people based on science, I am insulted by these charlatans who pretend to know what they are doing. By the way, the affiliations they advertise on their website are false. I have a letter from one organization to prove it. The fact that they use bogus psychiatrists to manage make-believe mood disorders in the setting of addiction shows how desperate they are to make money off vulnerable people. Another issue I had was obtaining my records from Providence. They will stonewall you and delay as much as they can. They knowingly violated HIPAA by refusing to give me my records when I asked repeatedly. When I filed a complaint months later with the federal OCR, Providence submitted adulterated evidence in order to absolve themselves. I have proof of this. They concealed the dates on my correspondence to avoid getting caught. They thought that I didn't notice. Providence did not treat me for anything. They only wasted my time. I have worked with other face-to-face and virtual providers out there who make Providence look incompetent. If you are suffering from substance use disorder and want a provider who takes the issue seriously, do not go here. If you are involved with PHP, they will likely try to force you to go here, but you can negotiate with them to find a better provider.

I've been meaning to write this review for a few months now, but today is the best day to write it…read more Because after two months, I used the substance I was addicted to. I feel hungover and really paying the price. I feel scattered, nervous and weak. I have no desire to go back to that common feeling. Today was a strong reminder for me how life used to be. I don't want any part of it. Today was how I used to feel at least once, usually twice a week. It doesn't matter what you are addicted to, be it heavy drugs like herion, crack, or meth. It could be cigarettes, sex, alcohol, the internet, or gambling. The feeling is always the same the next day (or a few days). I know you know what I mean. I don't feel like myself, I'm not clearheaded. I feel like shit. In many ways it's a wasted day, a day I need to recover. For me it was caffeine addiction. The pain and discomfort is the same no matter what it is. The struggle is the same for everyone. I was sensitive and just as hooked to caffeine and chocolate as any heroin addict. Gary's neurofeedback is the only thing that helped me successfully have the willpower to stop using long enough for the cravings to die off, as I like to put it. It takes more than 30 days of abstinence. It took me about 45 days for the last headaches to disappear and the receptors on the cells that were used to getting their caffeine fix to give up, shrivel and leave me alone. Without sounding like an info commercial, I have my life back, I guess one could say for the first time in 30 years. I have no idea how the neurofeedback works. Gary answers my questions, but I still don't understand it. Brainwave sensors are placed on the head and then you watch this computer screen make interesting patterns with weird sounds. It's painless and very relaxing. It has something to do with the brain teaching itself to function optimally again, not stuck in patterns of addiction and obsession. It takes time. I saw Gary twice a week for 4 months before the addiction was gone. At first I could only go 4 days without using; then 7, then 10 days, then two weeks. I made it to a month and beyond. For the first 6- 8 weeks I thought this isn't working; but be patient, it does work. It is the only thing that worked for me. I have tried everything else in existence. I believe in neurofeedback so much I want to learn how to do it and start offering it to others. There is so much addiction in our society that cripples so many amazing talented creative people. But they never get to offer their gifts to society, to their families, to their own selves because of the dysfunction. I am forever grateful to Gary for helping me. Scott O'Brien, Germantown, PA

I have been working with Gary for about 6 months now. His approach to my depression and anxiety…read moreis like no therapy I've ever had before. At first skeptical, I soon realized that changes were occurring in how I handled myself in stressful situations . My over all approach to life, is so much calmer. A weekly session soon helped with my anxiety level when dealing with life changing occurrences that effected my health as well as my employment. His professional manner , as well as his friendly, caring, attitude, bring a calm to each session, afterwards I leave feeling at peace with what ever was troubling me. In and out of all kinds of therapy for many years has never effected me as much as these life changing sessions with this wonderful man.
