Shady, shady, shady is all I can say about this business. The person answering the phone lied when…read moreI originally phoned to ask if they do Ketamine treatment management she said they don't, very vaguely and acted like she never heard of ketamine, and I said I must have called the wrong number and she said, yes. I then phoned back the hospital to say I had the wrong number, they called the number they had originally given to me and verified it was correct so I called back. I got the same person and started in again pretending she had no idea what I was talking about. I asked her why was she doing that. She wouldn't answer. I explained that the doctor's office gave me their number and confirmed with her that they do ketamine and asked for her name because she was so shady. She would not give it to me and hung up on me. I called back several times, asking her to speak to someone in charge, and asking for her name, and why she's behaving in an unprofessional manner. She would not budge and kept hanging up on me. I was hoping to get another person to answer the phone, but it was her each time. Finally, she gave me her name "Alex" which I don't believe is true. I then called back the hospital and told them not to refer anybody to them because of her unprofessionalism. Shocking behavior from someone administering psychiatric medication. The hospital has been notified of her treatment.

I found Dr Hollingsworth for my daughter over a year ago cause he got good reviews and was near…read moreher. She was diagnosed with bipolar years prior and we wanted to make sure she got proper treatment. I never met him cause she was an adult when she went to him and she was too busy to research doctors at that time she was still in school and working. She liked him at first then was indifferent to him and just had to go to get her necessary psyche meds that they held hostage until we spent $160-180 every telemed five minute meeting for. She had complained about their policies a few times and I urged her to look to other doctors bc I wasn't sure she had the right meds based in what I saw in her moods and he didn't seem to listen to her. Weeks ago I reached out twice to him because I saw an escalation in her behavior and moods. I know they can't discuss her with me but even a simple reply that they heard me would've been helpful. We were scared for her but she was an adult so we had little control. She did escalate badly and we went down to help her after several serious red flags and she was eventually hospitalized after bringing her in to be evaluated at the ER. When she needed him most after her psyche ward hospitalization after another manic episode and psychosis which led to the ER doctors keeping her on involuntary hold, he seemed to mock us for it and doubt her bipolar Diagnosis (didn't even get the clinical notes yet from her hospitalization and wasn't interested in what us parents experienced) After going through hell with our daughter she wanted us to join her telemed appt because she knew she was sick and knew we needed to talk to Dr H but all he did was interrupt us, second guess us, tell her to cut off communication with us and now she hasn't spoken to us in five days because she is still recovering from a huge ordeal and vulnerable and she was ready to get aftercare treatment until she spoke with him and convinced her to basically break up with her parents who he doesn't know AT ALL! He has no clue what we've gone through with our daughter. She's really good at manipulating things when she's well. He had a job- to diagnose and give meds and he added another job, interfere and turn our vulnerable daughter against us, the only ones who have truly had her best interest at heart! Saying we were bad for her mental health. Well no, her substances and denial and enabling friends and this doctor are bad for her mental health. We were just trying to desperately save our daughter who went through Another really bad mental breakdown and this Dr crossed a line and set her back

I am a former long term patient of Dr. Braun's and am writing a review to respond to the harsh…read morereview given by Jan D. I believe she must have spoken with Dr. Braun's answering service--whom she shares with other physicians-- about scheduling an appointment. Dr. Braun's practice is always full, and it's true, she doesn't accept insurance. I don't believe every therapist has to accept insurance. A patient can choose from the abundance of therapists in San Diego that do. What I do not believe is that she ever said she "doesn't have any time or duty or concern to give referrals, even to families in need". In the 10+ years I saw her for severe PTSD, anxiety and depression, she offered nothing but outstanding therapy and incredible compassion. We can all have a bad day; but to write such a scathing review about someone--especially a professional whom you only spoke to once--and to make them sound so heartless and selfish after speaking to someone their answering service, is wrong. Dr. Braun put more heart and soul into me than anyone ever has. I was an extremely difficult patient due to a protracted history of extreme child abuse and I often pushed back on her hard, often sometimes more harshly than I wish I had, yet she never, ever let me push her away. I could easily write 20 pages praising her skills, empathy and compassion. What I will say is that she gave me a life that I never expected I could have. She worked with me with everything she had, even at the end when I became angry and cruel because I knew my therapy was ending. I've had many regrets in life, but none that come close to the shame, guilt, and embarrassment I experienced because of my treatment of her at the end of my therapy. If you are are in need of a highly skilled therapist, and she has availability, I can't recommend her enough.

I have nothing positive to convey about this mental healthcare practitioner. I tried to secure an…read moreappointment for a client that has full ability to pay and several insurance policies for an initial consultation and/or referral to a specialist and Dr. Braun's medical assistant's responses are not in keeping to that standard for adequate care and concern for the mentally ill in the community. Her only standard response (3 other people called to try and get appt.'s and got the same response) is that she's not taking new patients and doesn't have any time or duty or concern to give referrals even to families in need. This practice should not be licensed because this failure to supervise her support staff underlings and the utilization of telling at-risk patients to get lost regardless of ability to pay is depraved indifference to human life. Don't refer patients or use the services of Judith S. Braun, M.D.

I was unlucky enough to find myself in need of a new therapist at the pandemic onset. I had a bad…read moreexperience with an unethical one and was left really struggling. The timing made it very difficult to find an experienced therapist. Most I contacted were busy and not taking new clients, many didn't even return calls. I looked for six months, trying the newer young psychologists available with disappointing results. I finally found Dr. Carlson online and liked his website. He was the last one I was going to try before giving up. He probably wasn't seeking new clients at the time, but responded, was compassionate and agreed to see me. He's a Ph.D psychologist with decades of experience and was nice enough to discuss my situation and needs beforehand. And he WOULD see clients in person when the restrictions lifted. I found Dr. Carlson to be an open, pragmatic therapist who is easy to be around and talk to. He works to really individualize his modality and treatment to the client and included me in the plan. He gets me, gives me the benefit of the doubt, and I can be real and honest without having to worry about being shamed. He restored my trust in therapists and the therapeutic experience. With the work we've done Ive experienced healing and my depression has lifted. I'm more at peace and less of a tortured soul. Dr. Carlson is a kind and rare person of integrity who puts his clients first and truly cares about people.
