I'm so thankful this program was even open considering it was peak COVID days, and let me say: this program saved my life. Not only did it save me then, I'm in group again now that I'm an adult because I had another attempt and was hospitalized for that. It's saving me yet again. Everyone who works there is so kind and wise and really makes the lessons learned stick. Even the other attendees help me so much since I'm not alone. Finally, I just wanna say, if you put the effort in, you can change and make progress. You will get better and heal. You can't do it alone, which is why I recommend aspire 100%, but you gotta help yourself, too. :)

The experience of the current director is not sound. ASB claims to foster an intimate and…read morecompassionate environment, yet hugs are prohibited. Most all participants are comforted by hugs and readily accept them as they need them as all humans do. Respect for their boundaries is observed. Yet , one can get removed from the program for a hug or a peck on the cheek. On top of this, the "rule" is not enforced equitably, or randomly. We are adults and can ask before we hug, and can vocalize whether or not we want one. There is no peer pressure.

Note that they don't have immediate appointments, most are two weeks out. Which was a bummer. The lobby wasn't the most luxurious or clean, but I didn't have to wait much longer than 10 minutes so I was fine. I ended up seeing a Nurse Practitioner, which was sort of a bummer too, but she was nice and thorough. In the end none of my medication changed. I do feel like she could have suggested more options. For now it's just fine.

They initially scheduled my son for August 10- the earliest appt. On August 5, I got a message saying that my appointment was changed to a tele visit.

Lo and behold- just got the text that my Sept. 14th appt is cancelled and to call back. Such a joke of a "business."

On several occasions, I missed appointments purely unintentionally, at this office. "My bad" - without question or excuse. So, my conscience being my guide, led me to go to Dr. Duggal's office to hopefully explain the extenuating circumstances regarding these missed appointments. I was very hesitant, thinking that I might be kicked out of her practice! And rightfully so - if that were the case...but it was NOT. I was permitted to speak to Dr. Duggal's Office Manager, "Summer." She allowed me entrance in to her office, quietly closing the door, and I began by apologizing profusely saying that in no way do I ever want to miss an appointment because that would have been someone else's spot. "Summer" listened intently to the extenuating circumstances I shared, explaining that I was not there to tell her my life's problems, but that these truly were the prevailing circumstances. With aplomb, she sat quietly and with an open mind, allowing me space to share this unfortunate life circumstance that is prevailing, continued listening. I was so overwhelmed by her professionalism, kindness and caring that at one point I became a tad weepy. In her kindness, she offered me a tissue. Where on this planet would any patient be afforded the opportunity and TIME to be heard? WHERE? No where that I know of...no where. I will never forget this as long as I live. This office is a gift to the medical profession in this town, and Dr. Duggal's entire staff is as well. Always welcoming patients with tender smiles, kind nods, and lending ears. Such an example to other medical offices here...I absolutely cannot THANK Dr. Duggal's office staff enough, and in particular, "Summer" for who she is...a true, caring professional in the medical field. I like to think of YELP reviews as presenting experiences that lend themselves to the readers' own mind of discerning the "right" or "wrong" of a situation. Often times readers "get their panties in a wad" over an experience that is not shed in good light. Why? Let's all seek to be the SOLUTION to a problem or "one-off" experience that is not good...instead of crucifying the reviewer for sharing a problem - further demonstrating the truth of the review and of their inability to accept constructive criticism.

Friday arrived and still no link had been sent to me. I called the office three times but apparently they had gone home early due to it being a Friday. I received a phone call 10 minutes after the appointment time from Ma and she proceeded to chew me out for not logging in on time. I explained to her that I never got the link for my appointment and no one was at the office to correct the issue of the missing link. She was still angry at me for something that I had no control over. The link finally showed up about 20 minutes after I had spoke with her. Not a very good way to keep a client.

I provided her all the x-rays and MRI's I have had done that shows how severe the injury is. She is the ONLY one of the numerous doctors I have seen that has been very supportive and recommended surgery instead of the 3 pain killers I have to take 4 times a day. My pain is being masked with drugs while it continues to get worse because unfortunately, that is the VA way sometimes. She listened with empathy when I told her what I am going through. I have had nothing but a positive experience because she has been a great advocate for me in trying to get this issue at least minimized so I can try to live a "normal" life again. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and protecting that right is one of the reasons I served 24 years in the military. Thank you for the support Dr. Fischer!

My experience with this business was wonderful until Carmen Fischer walked in the door of the exam…read moreroom. Just as she was entering she was adjusting her facemask to cover her face almost entirely..which was okay I guess..Upon her taking her seat i could cut the tension in the air- this was going to be a diabolical appointment. For years I had been prescribed 1 mg of lorazepam, 1mg daily. She saw this in my chart and took the opportunity to lecture me about the hazards of pain medication and benzos as if I were a strung out drug seeker..I assured her my doctor was informed and many times did not need to take the dose daily- she immediately perked up and stated "well it better be in your system then we're about to find out" (um, where else ma'am) at this time she noticed my purse buzzing, got extremely wide eyed and wouldn't hear of the fact that it was indeed, my phone vibrating in my purse. All phones were supposed to be off. Once she got through with THAT lecture too she ordered a X-ray of my NECK (for pain associated with my rotator cuff and lower back) further labs, and reminded me not to forget my urine test on the way out. Honestly never had such a poor doctor ever. Ms Fischer might be going through something we know nothing of, so I tried to be kind. But this is my health, and if I can save another the exasperation of the merry-go-round this woman obviously likes to put her patients thru I've helped! I voiced my concerns over EVERYTHING upon leaving, even with the nurse upon leaving the exam room, they all know Ms Fischer's temper and lack of bedside manner well. All they can do is offer the services of another doctor in clinic.
