    I would not recommend this doctor to anyone. I hate to say it but this is the worst practice I…read morehave ever dealt with. The appointment alone was strange and unprofessional, post appointment we could barely get a response to questions and when I never received a follow up contact for our first in office visit as promised in our plan I finally called. I was told to pay the next appointment $$ and was pushed forward 2 months. The only thing they were attentive to was processing payments and selling supplements at inflated prices compared to what they could be purchased for online. I was taken in that area for sure. Another issue was with paperwork. We were told we had to file insurance on our own, understandably, yet never received documentation to do so after 4 requests. I still have not received what I need, just a few excuses through email saying they'll get it out soon. Our first visit was Nov 2018 BTW. So strange. Thank goodness we have found a much more professional practice that can help my daughter, meet face to face, and offer true functional medical services as advertised. You get what you pay for and then sometimes you don't! With Cometa Wellness you really don't!

    Dr Cometa is a good physician but the appointment times are hard to get and when you are given an…read moreappt time be prepared to wait at least two hours or more. I've been told to call first before coming to see how late the appointment time will be, but I live quite a distance away so that doesn't help me at all. Basically be prepared to block out an entire day. Staff can be quite incompetent at times. Phone calls not returned etc. Dr Cometa also seems to take a lot of "vacations."

    Started my young person there in Maryland a few weeks ago in IOP and we pulled out after a week…read more There was a skeleton staff of one therapist, the one and only staff person was completely unqualified to deal with this age group, and could not manage the disruptive nature of the other kids. There were two days when the one and only staff person did not show up and we were not notified, second time there was a random unknown person there to cover that did not identify themself and I have no idea if they were even a therapist. My youngling became more anxious than before attending. I hope this is just a one time experience and that the center is generally better able and equipped to help young people but this was what we experienced.

    Where do I start? Please do NOT waste your time or money with this IOP group. I chose this facility…read moreas a bridge from my PHP at SPH. With the exception of group therapist Ashley(who left while I was there), my individual therapist Mason, and the welcome administrative lady De'Naja? , this place is a HACK. They are very short staffed, pull therapy group leaders from the eating disorder side, and seem to do on the job interviews with therapists who clearly don't know the paper material they are reading. When I tell you this place almost plummeted me back into a deep depression, I mean that. I say that as a nurse who has a love for psych and how therapy helps people. I am also a former Psych RN. Their DBT and ACT group is a JOKE. I attended in August 2024, approximately around the 15th. The place is very modern on the inside. The group rooms would be very relaxing if you actually got something out of the therapy. The patients supported each other and seemed to know more about the topics than the group leaders. I cannot stress enough how outraged I was sitting thru these sessions. We all seemed so desperately depressed in there often talking about how awful the sessions were when Ashley did not run them. They lost a great employee when she left. I wouldn't recommend this place if it were free. I wish I had read the reviews before choosing this place. They are expensive too if you don't have health insurance or have high copays. Every time I drive past the place I get sad all over again, it's just that horrible. I just stopped going abruptly and left my partner to tell them how horrible the experience was when they called about my lack of attendance.They may do well on the eating disorder side, but how do you substitute those skilled in working with that population in at the last minute just to be able to bill your Mood Disorders clients? That's a greedy money grab and very dangerous. We were there to continue to get mentally well and several of us sank deeper into depression (as per our individual discussions amongst those in the group). Please hire some people who are skilled in this arena and pay them well so that they don't leave. Our recovery depends on it. This place gets a D- only because the facility is nice and my therapist Mason was amazing. I wish I could've told him that he was great! Ashley too.

    I hired Adoption Makes Family to do a home study for me since my placing agency is out of state…read more From the very beginning there was issues with this agency, but I already started the home study process and paid the application fee so I decided to see it through. My very 1st conversation with them, my ability to pay was questioned although my household income in total is not poverty level and is middle class as I am a sole homeowner and my mother lives with me, splitting finances. I explained how I intended to pay for adoption by applying for grants, fundraising, getting a part time job, and borrowing equity if need be. My application was processed but issues continued. I was granted access to their online portal to complete my document collection. My online portal did not have the necessary information, I had to call them multiple times to get a list for a sanitarian and call/email informing them that according to the fire inspector, the agency had to request for me to get an inspection. Information the fire inspector said all agencies know. From there 2 of my reference letters were rejected, nitpicked, and required to be redone. In addition, I had no support. I had to read the list and go do it with no knowledge of the adoption process as this was my first time. The agency was always accessible by phone but our phone calls were very brief and I felt like I was bother a bother. Some very negative things were said to me stating as a single person you face a longer wait time. You could adopt within 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or never. It was very discouraging. I got all the funds together and my documents in 8 weeks, left it in the mailbox and I was commended for getting everything minus 3 items but then I received phone calls requesting more. The first call was about a missing a clearance, when I expressed confusion, it was said it's in the packet instructions. The packet instructions have 20 to 30 items if not more and I do not understand everything. Maybe some verbal explanation would have helped. They also requested my placing agency information which I provided. The next day they called and the very first issue came back up about finances, as mentioned I am not in debt, I make a good income, am a homeowner, and have no debt like car loans or student loans, etc. I have good finances, but they wanted me to break down how I intend to fund adoption step by step, get a breakdown of fees from my agency, and step by step explain how I intend to raise a child on my income. That was not in the packet. They stated its for the state when they are audited but it didn't sound right. I had a feeling that I wasn't going to be approved no matter what I did because everything I did was an issue. I asked how many people fail with them and they couldn't give me a number. I decided to not move forward, get my documents, my check back and take my business elsewhere. I passed every test, did not fail one yet kept being nitpicked. I had a very bad experience and wasted money and time.

    We worked with Adoption Makes Family on our home study. They placed great emphasis on their…read moresupport for birth parents and lead us through a compassionate and self-reflective process to ensure that we would be able to serve the wishes of birth parents as sufficiently as possible.

I loved the virtual visit format. It went flawlessly. I appreciated her direct but compassionate style and highly recommend her services!

    I wholeheartedly agree with the other poster…read more Rita is an abysmal therapist, and I say this with the experience of good, great, and mediocre therapy sessions. She's the worst I've seen, and also the most expensive. She actually caused active and growing harm in my own addiction recovery and marriage. As you might imagine, the harm in one of those areas fed the harm in the other. Worse, when I pointed this out, she threatened me with more harm and also took glee in the harm she contributed to. So not only does she not provide benefit, she actively harms and when confronted with that, she adds to the harm. In short, she's in the wrong business. She also didn't know many simple facts about alcohol or alcoholism. Specifically, she didn't know how long alcohol metabolites can remain in your urine. That's a simple fact that someone with the claimed specialty should know about. She didn't know about modern, well documented alternatives to AA that have been around for over 20 years. Once again, she's nowhere near an expert on this facet of addiction, although she claims to be. She doesn't listen or retain information that you provide her, even after 5 or so repetitions. So you can get a "diagnosis" based on flawed information because she doesn't listen to any aspects of your situation that make you unique. She has a "one size fits all" diagnosis and recommendation for every issue. Like the other poster said, it's "go to Choices" no matter what. Alcohol, marriage issues, indigestion, stubbed toe, "go to Choices." I went, and Choices was a horrible waste of time and money and I could see how it could cause active damage to vulnerable individuals. On top of all that, she's unprofessional. She constantly arrives late, even up to missing 25% of the session you agreed upon and paid for. She then offers passive aggressive excuses for her lateness. This is habitual. And considering how expensive it is, she should offer a refund or pro rated bill but she doesn't. Which would be fine, but she's ruining lives. When a therapist should help someone fix their life. Steer clear, steer clear, steer clear. Luckily, there are many local alternatives that can and will help you. I can't give a more forceful recommendation to the loved ones and supporters of those with issues: stay away. There's a distinct chance that Rita will add to exacerbation of the problem(s) at hand. Luckily, luckily, luckily, there are local alternatives that can provide the help that you or your loved one might need. Please find them.
