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 beg you to not see this "doctor." Not only is she unethical but she is also incompetent. She is…read morealways late, doesn't hire any staff so she is unable to manage any administrative aspects of her job. She doesn't listen but prescribes you medicine and then asks how you are every 6 weeks and 5 minutes later, asks for your CC for $150. She did not get me my medical records in time. She abandons patients if they feel better and want to get off their medicine. She doesn't help with the taper process. I'm writing the CA medical board and will be pursuing other remedies but I plead with you to not endanger your life by calling Leslie Craig.

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!

I was looking for a new psychiatrist a few years ago. In this process, I had one visit with Dr…read more Takamura. I found him to be a poor listener and on somewhat of a power trip. Not what I was looking for.

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. I highly recommend this office for anyone seeking top-tier care.

I was referred to Dr. Liang by my psychologist, and I feel lucky she did so. Dr. Liang is…read morepragmatic and caring, and easy to work with. She did a great job understanding my needs, and ensuring I got the treatment I needed. Her staff is very efficient and friendly. I highly recommend Dr. Liang and Clear Insight.

I was a patient of Dr Venn-Watson for about 3 1/2 years. She's OK, but she seems more interested in…read moremaking money than in helping her patients. Also, she's rather cold and aloof which is par for the course with most shrinks. She's a one-woman operation so you have to leave messages and hope she'll return your call eventually. She also takes notes on a pad, so when I went to my new psychiatrist she couldn't even read Dr. Venn-Watson's notes. Unprofessional. Ultimately I left because I didn't feel I was getting quality care from her. I've been getting psychiatric care for almost 20 years and I wouldn't say she's the best neither would I say she's the worst; she's just plan average. :(

I was skeptical at first to see psychiatrist, but after a couple of sessions I found that it really…read moredid help. She is amazing and honest. There has been some pain reliving some things, but I always feel there is a better understanding of the situation or closure.

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!

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). I'm so glad I found her!

At the end of the first appointment he commented on my "11's." Mind you, I was there for my son. He said my wrinkles are a give away for depression and I need to see him. When my son started having serious side effects from the medication, I could not get ahold of him after multiple calls. I cancelled all future appointments and will not return.

Believe the negative reviews on here. I was a patient of Dr. Magulac for a long time. I did find…read morehim to be a good listener and caring at first, but any time I raised any sort of feeling about anything, he just kept prescribing new addtl meds. Then, when I needed a refill, he couldn't be reached. These were powerful Rxs and wasn't great to have to stop cold for a week until he called something in. This happened SEVERAL times. He was always odd and said unusual things, but when he told me he had pleasured his wife before coming to work that morning, it shocked me into reevaluating. I found a new dr who switched me to new Rx and reduced the # of them. I am angry I wasted so much time seeing him. And yes, he was always late.
