I ll be very honest because I rarely leave bad reviews anywhere…read more I ve been here on and off for 5 years now and no complaints about the therapists I have had. I ve learned to deal with some unprofessional s front desk in the past (young or inexperienced)but this time it really went on a different level. I ve called to make an appointment for a new therapist few weeks ago where I precisely ask if the one that I would have tried had some experience. I ve been told over the phone by this guy named ALDO , he is usually seats at the first corner of the desk, that absolutely yes, she was coming from another place and she had experience. (I did not ask him to disclose any infos about this person, only if she had experience as therapist ) and he reassured me that yes she did. Come to the appointment and the therapist just told me that this was her first job, fresh out of school. Now: It's not only the lie I ve been told but also the time I wasted,since I specifically made sure of that in my request. Otherwise I would have picked another therapist to begin with. I confronted ALDO and he denied. From then on, he keeps doesn't acknowledge me when I get there, he doesn't call the therapist when I get there, which is so unprofessional in many ways. Today I had my appointment at noon and he called the therapist at 12.15 to let her know I was there. That was confirmed by my therapist who said he never let her know that I was there at noon and she was waiting for me since I was her first appointment of the day. I recorded the conversation and time I got there (noon) and he said he told her (not true) After 15 minutes,while I was still there waiting,my therapist got his call for the first time. Its all documented so in case he wants to deny it again.(for personal purpose and protect myself) In a place where we should find peace we can't deal with this type of behavior. I believe that who responds to the reviews is the front desk itself so the reply doesn't really matter..only helps making people aware of the situation and person they might encounter at the front. I m trying to get in contact with Vaia (the owner) personally and the manager Sharon to see if this behavior can stop because it's ridiculous now, since I do go in once a week and love my therapist and I need to escalate this to them.

Some of the rooms have windows in them which makes for a great session. There's also some rooms that are dark and dim, don't like those personally. Its an all ages therapy center.

President of the company will retaliate for getting nephew fired for sexual harassment. HR is a…read morejoke and should give sensitivity training before they teach you about sensitivity. Union is a joke. Antisemitism and homophobia are allowed to run rampant and hr and management do nothing about it. Some of the staff shouldn't be in this field and mistreat the guys. Management will not accommodate staff with disabilities and is not understanding about it. Management will admit to staff that they don't want to do paperwork so they'd rather demote someone who is a temporary group leader even after they did everything to inhibit someone from doing their job. There is rampant favoritism. Management will yell at one person for being on their phone but will ignore another. Good staff gets chased away and mistreated meanwhile bad staff are allowed to do whatever they want. When shut down happened due to covid I had emailed HR saying that. Couldn't come back to work due to having an autoimmune disease until it was safe and was told to come back when I feel better. Sorry but autoimmune diseases don't just go away. They stick around for the rest of your life. Management will also yell at you for doing something once but will let other people get away with things multiple times. We were constantly told that the guys could do whatever they wanted but we had to still write them up if they didn't want to do what everyone else was doing. My classroom was over crowded, eleven participants and 3 staff, shortly after reopening while my management knew I had a medical issue that put me at risk. I told them multiple times and nothing was done. Don't send your children here because they will not be taken care of. Don't work here for the sake of your mental health. When covid started I heard a staff act racist towards an Asian participant and everyone seemed ok with it. Management will also get involved in drama.

I don't usually write reviews, but I felt the need to share my experience. My visit here was really…read moredisappointing. From the moment I walked in, the environment didn't feel clean or well-maintained to me. The waiting area looked disorganized, and it immediately made me uncomfortable. I felt rushed and brushed off. I tried explaining my symptoms, but the doctor seemed distracted and uninterested, barely making eye contact. The explanations I received felt vague and unhelpful, and I never got the sense that there was any real effort to understand what I was going through. For something as serious and personal as neurological concerns, that lack of attention was extremely discouraging. Overall, I didn't feel respected, supported, or cared for at all. With something as serious as neurological issues, I expected a much more attentive and professional experience. I won't be returning.

I had an awful experience with Neuropsychological Services of Astoria today. After waiting for…read moremonths for an appointment for my child (during which I had to call to check in about when my appointment would happen or no one would follow up with me), we finally got an appointment for 9 am. We were early and while we sat in the waiting area of the shared office space, both Dr. Hernandez and his assistant walked right past us with out greeting us or telling us what was going on. I didn't even know it was them. It was only after I inquired with another receptionist there who it turned out worked for the dental office there that I got any attention and they asked us to go back. At that point they told us that the person who was supposed to do the evaluation still wasn't there and they couldn't get in touch with him. After months of waiting, it was only yesterday that I learned that it would be a student administering the evaluation, which is not standard at most neuropsych evaluation places unless you're doing sliding scale - and even then, students must ethically be CLOSELY supervised in that process. Dr. H said he could start the evaluation today but he couldn't finish it because he's unfamiliar with parts of the test we were looking to have administered!!! I'm currently getting a doctorate in psychology at an APA accredited school and I've learned how to give a few of these evaluations so far (unfortunately not the ones I am seeking yet) and you cannot even ethically supervise a student to make sure they're administering correctly if you're not familiar with the test being administered! And just yesterday Dr. H told me that the student wouldn't write the interpretive report - that *he* would. Then today he said someone else on his staff would do it. I'm so thankful the student didn't show up because - of course you CAN write a report on a test you're unfamiliar with but will that person give an accurate and fair interpretation of what is happening? After sending an email to the practice stating the above, Dr. H responded that there's things I don't understand yet about the neuropsychological evaluation process and I expect that he'll respond to this review saying the same thing, but I have validated with a couple of faculty members, that for the psychologist who is supervising test administration and who will write a report to not be familiar with aspects of the test to not be familiar with the test does not say good things about a practice. Not only that, you won't get a truly nuanced or insightful report of what the test results are actually saying. For other parents who are trying to navigate issues with their kids, you should be aware that there are other places that take insurance and for the ones that don't, if you have good health insurance, many will pay for out-of-network evaluators at a rate of around 50-70%.
