I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Craig. She helped me after my daughter was born when…read moreI was struggling with PPD and PPA. She was thorough, listened well, walked me through every step of recovery and then maintained my care through a very slow taper off of medication. When I had a recurrence 6 years later, she immediately helped me get well again. I highly recommend her. She is diligent, supportive, and looks at the whole picture.

Dr. Leslie Craig is the best! I have been going to her since the birth of my first born in 2008…read more She has helped me so much over the years. She actually cares about what your input is on medication and listens to you. She was a lifesaver after my son and during my pregnancy with my daughter. If you are looking for someone who specializes in PPD or any other pregnancy related mental illness she is the doctor for you.

I'm so grateful for the brief time I worked with Erik Lee. His warm, intuitive, and compassionate…read moreapproach helped me feel truly understood during a very stressful time of major life changes. As a woman diagnosed later in life with AuDHD, I still have a lot to learn, and Erik gave me valuable insight, support, and an extensive list of resources to help me continue the work.

Dr. Takamura is amazing. I've worked with a few different psychiatrists, but nobody else has the…read moreknowledge that he has on mental illness and treatment. He actually listens to me and cares; he's not just someone who you see for two minutes and get a prescription. I'm seeing him under work comp; I want to continue to see him after this claim closes, so I'm seriously considering changing insurance companies (I never thought I would change my insurance company because it's the same one I've always had). Overall, if you're looking at doctors, Dr. Takamura is definitely the way to go!

Dr. Bogard has been my psychiatrist for at least 10 years. He has never tried to push me into more…read moremedication for my symptoms, but exactly the opposite. He is always very attentive and unlike most of my doctors takes time to listen to my concerns with empathy and expertise. He is a well known and a respected physician and I have referred several people to him who were grateful and satisfied with his service.

Dr. Bogard saw my sister while she was in Aurora behavioral health center in order to Detox from a…read morereaction from a medication. (The first mental health medication she has ever taken) and he wanted to put her on 3 more drugs. She clearly had detoxed after 4 days but he insisted on upping the medications and refused to release her from the facility. He clearly cooperates with the facilities Social Worker named Masha in order to keep patients even if it is clearly not in their best interest. There was a hearing to see if the social worker as well as the psychiatrists findings were correct and they were not. My sister was released and is perfectly fine again not taking any medications. Beware of seeing this doctor he is unethical and clearly cannot tell when patients are fine or not. Or maybe can but there is an alterior motive at play. Payoffs from the drug companies if doctors prescribe certain medications, bonuses from Aurora if he keeps patients in there longer? If you want a doctor to care about the patients well being he is clearly NOT the one to go to.

I must especially commend KARLA at the front desk. She is consistently responsive, organized, and supportive, ensuring every visit is smooth and reassuring.

Everything is automated and getting anyone to answer the phone is a joke. It says to press 5 and…read moresomeone will call you back within the business day. It's been 3 days. So I called again and when she transferred me, I was accidentally hung up. So I called again and it said I was 5th in line. Then 4th, 3rd, 2nd, then 1st and after 10 minutes of being on hold, I was 8th in line??? I hung up. Not only that but my experience with Dr. Marina Katz was horrible so I was calling to change providers. I had Dr. Rosben Gutteriez when I used to live here but he's booked and I had no idea Dr. Katz only worked once a week. Needless to say, I'm done with them. Go to facility who will treat you with respect and make you feel better, not worse.

Ever since the practice was bought by Lifestance Health they lost the patient care needed and…read morebecame corporate managed care. Poor customer experience. They would call you to cancel appointments but on the other hand their email notifications that your appointment is on as scheduled continues. Front desk has zero empathy whether you took time off work to attend this appointment. My son's pharmacy has to fax a request for prescription multiple times to get filled an the only way to get a response is to send a message thru their portal. If you as a patient needs medication to stabilize you, make sure you have 2 weeks supply as the lifestance health system is inadequate. I am only giving this more than 1 star because my son had been a patient of Dr Ladia for a long time and I don't think she has a choice. But yay new fancy office in Rancho Bernardo will never make up for the lack of empathy the front office has!

However, when I ran into Dr. Carrillo through Sharp, I felt it was worth it to follow her to her private practice in Poway. She and her office staff were always respectful and attentive, and I never had any billing issues. The maintenance medication I take isn't much of a guessing game, and she kept me on it - didn't try anything crazy like pushing new meds for kickbacks (which I have seen happen unfortunately). I felt that our sessions were always productive and she paid attention when I had concerns. I left her because I have almost always had Kaiser and I got that coverage back, but I would recommend her to anyone looking for a psychiatrist.

Thanks to Stephanie, I have been stable, with no interruptions to my mental health, for 6 years straight, for the first time since I started seeing psychiatrists in my twenties. She also is the only doctor I've ever seen, in any medical field, who cares more about the patient, than any amount of money, and never lets her patients down, when it comes down to it, in my expert opinion (after years and years of being betrayed and disappointed by bad doctors).
