My life became pandemonium when I went APFC from 1999 to 2015 because the therapists and doctors…read morethere were are too ignorant to help me. Every time I saw the doctor, I told him my problems; and he diagnosed me with so many diseases. He over medicated me. Once there was a therapist by the name of Luong Thanh who took advantage of me by looking inside my mouth to examine if I had cavities, and he was a therapist! I recommend you should go there because the people who go to this institution became even sicker, so do not go there if you want to be healthy!

So sad that this place has a group of so called licensed professionals when all they do is make your problem worse. They didn't help me AT ALL. I specifically told them(him) what I wanted and the f@ckin blood sucker only wanted to milk and charge my insurance. I won't mention his name, but if he sees this he will know who I'm talking about. If they ever offer me for extended "helps for free" out of guilt due to this review I guess I'll take the opportunity to tell them to go to hell. *I feel better now. Thanks, Yelp*

We completed and signed the paperwork before the school's Christmas break, yet there was very little movement afterward even leading up to today. AFTER 6 MONTHS OF NOTHING , WE DECIDED TO MOVE ON. UNACCEPTABLE! Mid December 2025 - Signed up for Foothill Family Early January 2026: We were finally contacted regarding intake paperwork. January 21 2026: We spoke with reception to complete intake information with legal documents submitted. February 5: We attended our first scheduled in-person appointment, but the therapist was a no show. Our family along with the intake personnel waited for an hour with no communication, no call, and apparently the therapist had not even notified the office, so we all waited with no news. March 15: We were finally assigned a new therapist, Ms Ada. However, after the very first visit, she informed us she would be resigning. In total, we only received 2 sessions. Late April: A newly assigned therapist Mariana canceled on us last minute stating her terrible cold. May 1 and May 6: The therapist forgot to call us to figure out a schedule twice. At this point, after nearly 6 whole months, HALF A YEAR, we have experienced little to no consistency, constant cancellations, poor communication, and repeated disappointments. We have spent more time waiting, rescheduling, and dealing with excuses from supervisor Gloria, than actually receiving support services. We do not recommend Foothill Family based on our experience. The level of disorganization and lack of professionalism has been unacceptable, especially for families seeking timely mental health support.
