If you are looking for the best psychologist for a wide variety of troubles, look no further. Dr…read more Park is an expert in many areas and is also genuinely empathetic and ethical. Years ago, I unexpectedly suffered a painful divorce from a brilliant man. I asked all the psychologists I knew who my then husband could see as a psychologist who would not be fooled by my ex-husband's fog of deceit. Dr. Park's name was always mentioned. Additionally, one of my close friends was traumatized by his own blistering divorce. His mother is a psychologist and she immediately sent her son to Dr. Park. This man is deeply skilled and experienced in a number of areas. He will not leave you asking, "what have you done for me lately". He works in areas other pschologist do not.

I feel like they really care especially my counselor she's great and I feel she really listens to me and no matter what I say she is always comforting to me.

Most counselors I have quite after a few months but here they will have to drag me away kicking and screaming to stop me from coming back. I Love this place and Highly recommend it for anyone needing emotional help. Thank you everyone at The Growing Place for helping me.

I had a very disappointing experience with Dr. Larry Wainschel and his office…read more I first saw Dr. Wainschel in the ER in November 2025 regarding a tumor on my spine. He ultimately determined that the surgery was beyond his expertise, and I had to undergo the operation at California Pacific Medical Center instead. Because his office is closer to where I live, I decided to continue follow-up care with him afterward. During my very first office appointment, Dr. Wainschel also asked me several personal questions that made me uncomfortable and felt unrelated to my medical care. That immediately gave me concerns about professionalism and patient comfort. During later appointments, I repeatedly explained that I had lost sensation in my feet due to nerve damage. I made it very clear that I was concerned about the possibility of permanent nerve damage if the issue was not properly evaluated and treated. Despite these concerns, I was scheduled for a follow-up three months later and only given an MRI for my upper back. My primary care doctor later ordered an MRI of my lower back, which showed: "L4-L5 by 5.0 mm. Suspicion for a 5.6 mm perineural cyst." This cyst can potentially affect nerves in the lower body and may contribute to worsening neurological symptoms. Treatments such as steroid injections can sometimes help, yet I struggled to get any urgency or follow-up from Dr. Wainschel's office. I contacted the office multiple times asking whether I needed an EMG test to determine if the cyst was contributing to my nerve damage. I was not asking for anything extreme -- I simply wanted a clear yes or no answer and proper evaluation. My concerns were not treated as a priority, and I could not get a direct response from the office manager, Theresa. Meanwhile, I continue to have significant numbness and loss of sensation in my feet while waiting weeks for another appointment. My biggest issues were the lack of communication, lack of urgency, feeling dismissed while dealing with potentially permanent neurological symptoms, and being made uncomfortable during my care.

In 2007 I gave birth to my first daughter. She was only 5 lbs. 7 oz., and I quickly found out that…read moremy health was not stable. Gaining 30 lbs in one month and completely unable to get out of bed, let alone care for her,  I went to my doctor. She tested my thyroid and told me everything was fine. When I fought back saying everything was not fine she agreed, condescendingly, to send me to an endocrinologist. I was quickly diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease and placed placed on Synthroid. "You take this pill every morning, and you won't have to worry about this anymore." If I had a nickel  for every time a member of the medical community said that to me, my family and I could on a Disney cruise! For the following five years. I struggled with infertility. Eight miscarriages followed; many injections, many tests, and no answers.  The weight fluctuations continued, as did the out of control rage that could overtake me causing out of body experiences. Why couldn't I calm myself down? I had a doctor laugh me out of his room when I said I had heart palpitations, and suggest I undergo psychiatric treatment for trauma. My feet hurt, my head hurt, my house was a mess, muscle pain and muscle weakness abounded and more than anything I was exhausted. The list goes on and on. In January 2013 I gave birth to a healthy 7 lbs. 1 oz. baby girl. Immediately following her birth, I again crashed. I gained 50 pounds in one month. I produced absolutely no milk, as with my first. And every doctor that I went to see told me to eat less. At this point I was a vegetarian, having just changed over from vegan during my pregnancy. There aren't enough carrots in the world to get me up to the 267 pounds I was. It was a nurse who pulled me aside and told me it wasn't my fault. That it was Hashimoto's disease. I finally took my health into my own hands. I started to research Hashimoto's disease, finding out that it was an autoimmune disease. Imagine that, five years of struggling with an autoimmune disease and not one single doctor declaring it as such to the patient. I fired my healthcare provider and found new insurance and subsequently met and broke up with at least 20 medical professionals. I found that being gluten-free made me feel better, however every medical professional I talked to told me cutting gluten out of my diet was pointless. We have come to find I have celiac's. When my second daughter was a toddler I had the good fortune of coming across Dr. Nagel's name on a list of doctors worth seeing. All of them were further than one hour from my home. The list had been created by patients who had been mistreated just as I had. They had finally located decent doctors, and placed them on a list based on the kinds of tests they would run and the treatment they would give. It was clear at my first appointment that this doctor was different. Dr. Nagel was so warm, and confident. He asked me questions no other Dr. had ever asked. Is your hair normally this curly? How do your feet feel? Can I see your fingernails, please? He ran tests and called me back for a second appointment. He was matter-of-fact and comforting about his findings, "You have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and you need to be put on bio-identical Estrogen and Progesterone. I'm also going to switch you over to Naturethroid, and I will continue to raise or lower your dose based on symptoms as well as tests." He also was fairly certain that I was prediabetic and suffered with vitamin deficiencies. He placed his hand comfortingly on my knee and said, "This isn't your fault. It's not your fault you are obese, it is not your fault that you have no libido, and I can fix it." I couldn't stop the tears from falling. Fix it he did. He placed me on an auto immune Paleo diet, and set me up with a nutritionist. Turns out I was fairly knowledgeable about nutrition but I had no idea how to go about losing this extra weight as a woman with PCOS and Hashimoto's disease. In the words of Dr. Nagel, "This isn't your fault, you could gain weight on a TicTac" I have been seeing Dr. Nagel for four years now and I will let my pictures speak for themselves. He's not just a doctor; he is an angel. Thank you Dr. Nagel for saving my life.

Also his nurse is very insensitive to a very sensitive topic. When I told her my weight, she replied "whoa, that's heavy". After I had lost 8 lbs she acted like it was nothing. I am giving him 1 star because the visit with the nutritionist was helpful but overall I was very disappointed with the money and time spent with him. I was expecting kindness and understanding, I left feeling fat shamed and judged. I have had much better success with Midi Health.
