Dr Depala is a compassionate being that really helped me to understand my diagnoses. I never felt…read morerushed when at my appointments, and was continuously reminded that I could reach out any time I needed. His empathy was extremely appreciated since my last psychiatrist was fairly cold. The ONLY reason why I am transferring care, is because of an international move at the end of the month. Otherwise, I would continue to be his patient for as long as he is practicing. I highly recommend Dr Depala if you are in need of quality, compassionate care, he is the best!!

I have been seeing Dr Depala for approx 4 yrs. My opinion of him has not changed from the time I…read morehad my first appointment. I find him to be professional. If my mood changes in anyway he doesn't ignore my symptoms but listens to me. He is not a therapist but he does share a positive thought or a coping tool I can use if I need it.

He listens carefully to everything you say to him. I don't understand the negative comments about Mrs Patel. I have found her to be as caring as her husband. Unfortunately there is no pleasing some people, I guess. Sadly at my appointment this week, he told me he is retiring at the end of this year. I feel very glad for him and Mrs Patel, but very sorry for myself and his other patients. Wishing both of them a long and happy retirement!

Love this place. John Adenji is the best and so is the medical assistant/receptionist, Summer, who…read moreis really great at injections and always has a caring attitude towards patients. Sadly the same cannot be said for most of the other medical assistants. I've had problems with both Ariana and Roxanna (I think that was her name) when they do my injections. Today they were very rude towards a patient that was hard of hearing, I witnessed them being short and aggressive towards this poor patient, who just wanted to know how much longer their injection was gonna take. Regardless, I highly recommend this place for Summer and John alone. JR is also a really great person and a hard worker.

If you value your mental health, do NOT go here, especially to see Chrystiana Adiniji, N.P.

We found a REAL psychiatrist who promptly took him off ALL psych meds SHE prescribed and did not put him on any other and my boyfriend is a totally new man. Dr. Adeniji should have her license taken away for over prescribing psych drugs and then abandoning her patients.

Doctor Mogbonjubola Adeyemo is married to Dr. Oluwafemi Adeyemo, a psychiatrist who works in the same offices. I've never met him, but folks speak highly of him. My GP doctor, Dr. M. Adeyemo is excellent and always listens to my concerns with sincere empathy. When I had an injury, the look on her face made me feel like she could actually FEEL my pain!!! I've also had no problem being referred to specialists if need be. I don't like the thought of the public knowing where I go for treatment, yet she deserves kudos for her practice and so, you are welcome to become a patient here if she accepts your insurance. She does like us to mask up when the viruses are spreading and checks temperature upon entry. She will do appointments via phone or Zoom if need be. Be well, stay safe!

I was…read morediagnosed in my 40s with ADHD and PTSD, and for years I always knew my "noggin" worked a little differently, not wrong, just different. I struggled with focus, task paralysis, and things I didn't fully understand until I finally had the right guidance. Dr. Torban has helped me better understand how my brain works, adjust my medications when needed, and navigate my mental health in a way that has truly improved my quality of life. He has also helped my family better understand and support me through the process. The entire office is wonderful as well. Claire and Ms. Christina at the front desk are absolute gems. They are always kind, helpful, patient, and welcoming. I'm very grateful for Dr. Torban and his team and would absolutely recommend his office to anyone looking for compassionate and thoughtful psychiatric care.

Its taken over 10 years to write this. I was a patient of Dr. Torban in 2015. I tried to kill…read moremyself that year and was struggling with alcoholism. I asked for a medication to help me relax so I could stay sober and I guess I looked at him wrong or something because he fired me as a patient that day. I was struggling very much and he treated me like a piece of trash. But God had other plans. I ended up finding a new PCP who listened and trusted me within weeks. That doctor gave me the meds I knew I needed and I have never drank alcohol again. I used those meds for 3 years into my sobriety and I now have over 10 years sober. Dr. Torban treated me badly and kicked me when I was down. I would never recommend him to anyone. He was the only psychiatrist in my area. He left me high and dry right after a major suicide attempt. People need to be treated with respect and dignity, and this man is a typical psych person who has a lot of his own issues.

October 2025: I was scared to death as I knew that I was in desperate need of a rehabilitation…read morecenter for my opioid use disorder and alcoholism. This was my first time ever reaching out for help & going to a recovery center. Everything about Hemet Valley Recovery Center was welcoming, transparent & beyond my expectations. Here is my personal experience broken down into sections so the reader can skip to the section that most applies to their personal needs. Bottom line: HVRC saved my life & has helped me find my life purpose again. Initial phone call: I had to check availability & insurance requirements as I am on Medicare. They are the only recovery facility that accepts Medicare on the West Coast. I was told to bring my own pillow & blanket & was given a time that a driver from the facility would come to pick me up to take me to HVRC. Drive to facility & intake: Donnie, the driver, relieved my worries with water, gum, mints and a peaceful drive to the center. He was able to answer any of my general questions with a calm demeanor. Arriving at the center, I walked through the intake forms, insurance paperwork, general overview of detox, & expectations of the recovery program. Detox: Supportive Dr. Raja, skilled nursing staff, hospital meals that were tailored to my specific nutritional needs & wants, space in my room to sleep, heal & detoxify my body, I felt confident in my ability to get started on my recovery journey. The proximity to the local emergency room also put me at ease if I needed a higher level of care due to my complex medical issues. Counselors: All patients are assigned a counselor. They check in with you on your mood, individual situations, & progress of your rehabilitation process. They are kind, compassionate & loving humans. Classes: Daily schedules have a variety of holistic rehabilitation classes. Anything from lectures, experiential groups, healthy lifestyles, meditations, yoga, Native American talking circles, NA/AA meetings, recovery planning, Men & Women's groups, Just for Today talks, arts & crafts, HVRC has it. The best class is "Pain Group" with Sherry Burditt, RN, HN-BC (AHNA Board Certified Holistic Nurse) for 5 weeks, 9 hours a week, 45 hours total. It's a progressive learning experience class that allowed me to use self-discovery, emotional healing & spiritual growth to face past demons, learn about my own energy (Chakras), & love myself again. Hands down the best learning experience about myself I have ever done (& continue to do as part of my personal recovery plan). HVRC Community: For nearly 90 days, I was immersed in the HVRC family. From the people you share your days & nights with, along with your thoughts, feelings, assignments & food, to the nursing staff, counselors, administrative staff, drivers, the house senior residents/house managers to daily HVRC volunteers, people are supportive, kind & are there to do what is best for mankind: sustain an environment of caring, client-first vibes. PHP (partial-hospital patients): Having lived in both the female sober-living houses, Mayberry & Harbor, both provide a calm and healing environment to spend time while not at the center. I have fond memories of van rides full of people to & from the center, quick trips to the ATM or appointments, & AA meetings & Soboba's talking circle. Outings: Nails/pedicures, haircuts, AA meetings, doctor appointments/imaging, ATM runs, Soboba talking circle. Family Weekend: AMAZING experience. Run by Lisa, it is a weekend of family & loved ones learning about addiction. Not just the disease itself, but how to support their loved one in & out of treatment, expectations of their loved one coming home, & a session for me & my family to start the healing process moving forward. Continuing care & Alumni meetings: Thursday nights: an in-person continuing care program that supports HVRC alumni. Counselors offer support in multiple ways. After is the Alumni in-person/Zoom AA/NA meeting. My favorite night to attend a meeting & connect with so many others who are going through the same thing that I am: staying clean & sober in my recovery. HVRC Alumni events: President Jeff does a GREAT job of promoting where the donated money goes. From helping clients with prescriptions, housing & other necessities, to creating joy for clients and staff with auction baskets, sit-down dinners, arts & crafts, hiding Easter eggs & Sam the Leprechaun, supplying treats to buy at the Alumni store, cookouts, individual gifts, Veteran recognitions, & more!! HVRC Alumni is a space for us to stay connected by volunteering, supplying resources or giving money to a great cause year-round. I just can't say enough good things about my recovery & experience from Hemet Valley Recovery Center. Just celebrated 6 months. I thank both my Higher Power & HVRC for being clean & sober today. As Nike says: "Just Do It". You'll save your life or someone else's. Hugs & blessings from a proud recovering client, Teresa
