EXAMPLE BILL $395 CO-PAY $45 BALANCE $350 PLAN AGREEMENT $325 PLAN PAID $25 so doctor eats $325 Dr. Shapiro is PRIVATE and he is ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY THE BEST TO HAVE ON YOUR SIDE AND HAVE YOUR BACK, you pay for what you get, my son's life was not worth short cutting and being cheap, Dr. Shapiro has the right to pick and chose who he deals with everyone out there has the right to decide where they want to go, but every penny I spent I would have gladly paid twice as much insurance or not this is our doctor for life, I'll eat peanut and crackers before I switch doctors. But I was a young girl getting bullied by a system had no support raising a son on her own. Dr Shapiro changed our world and 30 yrs later still has our back. Options and choices TERRI K

He will charge you for a full hour, even though every other appointment you will ever have with him will only take 10-15 minutes.

I never worry about him making a mistake or forgetting something. He makes an extra effort to get to know his patients and find out what they need. He always remembers me and makes me feel very important. I really liked that he took time to explain my treatment's risks and benefits clearly. He made sure that I understood everything before I started treatment. I've never seen anyone who is more respected by his peers and staff. The entire staff only had great things to say about working there, and it made me want to return all the more. This doctor spent over 3 hours with me on the first visit after seeing many other psychiatrists in the past, this one is the best.

3 to 5 years ago, she was a great psychiatrist, but both mentally and physically she has seem to…read moredecline a aspired from her practice without any real reason given, but connecting the dots. I know the reason is because of a girl that was my friend at least I thought it was my friend for a few weeks when I found out was a stone cold drug addict. I had to call the police and my parents along with my dad's arm, security officer friend to remove her from my home and while we were getting along while I was taking my medication. A picture of my pill bottle from behind me so I couldn't see which this ex friend had admitted over text message so Christy fire me as a patient and tapers me down off of 3 mg of Klonopin that I have been taking for at least the last 3 to 4 years and yes, I was a regular patient for a minute there I had several sudden deaths family, which I needed slightly refills for then from there and now for a very long time up until she fired me never asked again. She even started to get to the mad at me when I would get a recommendation from another doctor which you can get a recommendation from a darn commercial telling you to ask your doctor if this medication is right for and she would get mad and say I was seeking out help from other doctors and hated the fact that I was just asking a simple medical question or tapering off of 3 mg of Klonopin in 28 days is her plan. I am midway through that. And I am having severe withdrawal symptoms. I talk to my pharmacist. The pharmacist said I need to talk to my doctor now the prescribing doctor. Which is kristie Yakura and her response was that if I asked her for another, which please note I have not asked for any refills yet on this prescription because I was only about three weeks in as of now, but she said if I ask her about another refill on the prescription that she was going to have charges filed on me for menacing the Doctor Who put me on this medication and I am having complications with my taper pretty much told me that she is going to file charges on me not pretty much did straight up say she was going to file charges on me if I ask for help from her again this woman has gone downhill. Her eyes are all sunk into her head, an acquaintance of mine, left her practice because that she couldn't even remember the medication she was on several times and she even overdosed me. Luckily, I caught it at the pharmacy but overdosed me on a antidepressant actually these messages over the last few months of problems I've been having with her to pharmacist and other medical professionals, and they all say the same thing sometimes even the professionals start dipping into the sauce a little bit what she's doing to me is completely inhumane. I will literally have these fits or I will just fish flop on my bed a few times restless leg syndrome all day long to a point for my. It has a constant Charlie horse and in the email I even asked her if whatever issue she has with me which I still can't figure out because I get monthly drug tests, which I have passed everyone random drug tests. I have passed everyone. Random pill counts. I have passed everyone. I don't know what more to do here. I think I'm going to have to file a complaint to the border health. I can attach the photos of her threatening the menacing charge on me, which I told her was extremely unprofessional, and I can bite right back in so many words so please pray that my next psychiatrist that I have which is a lot younger of a doctor but still enough experience does a lot better job than threatening a patient that is going through nasty I hope people can respond to this. Never go to the psychiatrist. I am having to use money out of my own pocket. To take action to make sure that no medical patient is ever treated this way by this PRN again. Also in this message. Once asked her to slow down my taper until now this woman needs to have her medical license taken away.

So I get a call back the next day and they said everyone is booked up and if something opens up, I should call back to find out! So I asked, is everyone booked for the rest of the year? I was then told they have nothing open. But if they hire more associates then maybe they will have openings. Sounds to me like they just don't want to see me. If everyone there is a 100% booked for the year, then kudos, but that's highly unlikely

This facility will charge you as a therapy visit on top of your psych General outpatient followup…read moreeven though you didn't ask for it if you happen go over 15 mins with your provider. Your provider won't tell you that you have exceeded a "normal" time or end the visit once you're at time either. You just get a nice surprise bill if you don't check the time yourself which in turn makes you conscious about time over care. Staff is rude and I've seen them roll their eyes at customers vs being attentive and helpful. I showed up 15 mins late bc of traffic and they said my provider couldn't see me even though she seemed to have unlimited time if they could charge me for a service I didn't need. Of course they're still charging me for a visit. I'll note that I've never been late before and often times I've had to wait 20 mins for my provider to be ready to see me. I'm seeking a new psychiatrist as a result of the treatment and money gauging.

Mr. Clarke is a wonderful therapist. He is very kind, compassionate, empathetic, and pretty damn…read morepractical. He is always punctual, always gives his patients his full attention, and can always offer new insights into some of the problems his clients face. He has many years of experience with children, teenagers, and adults (ranging from individual therapy to couples' therapy to family therapy). He stays up-to-date with the latest therapeutic concepts by attending to his own ongoing professional development. He has even published papers in peer-reviewed journals in his areas of expertise. I have found Mr. Clarke to be a wonderful help and resource for me in times of chaos. He's the best therapist I have ever worked with. Mr. Clarke is also not a psychiatrist, as Yelp asserts. He is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with a Master's in Social Work from the University of Chicago. This simply means that he is unable to provide prescription medication therapy. However, he has many psychiatrist contacts who can fulfill the medical role while he provides excellent talk therapy sessions.
