I have been going to Island Counseling for almost 7 years now and have never had a bad experience…read more What I read in these reviews sounds like a few people's rare bad experiences, but it is definitely not what I've witnessed or experienced there. The receptionists do seem pretty busy and always doing something, but I think they have a lot to stay on top of and are trying their best. I've seen some pretty interesting people in the office and the receptionists are always very kind and patient with these people. Moreover, I've recently been having issues with post-partum and have had to go in more often. If I can't wait till my next appointment and need to come in sooner, the receptionist takes my name down and calls me as soon as there is a cancellation - this is normally a matter of a day. I've never had that efficient of service in any other doctor's office. A few people commented that they think the staff just hands out pills and sends you on your way, which is a little misleading. There are some staff members who specifically deal in just medication management - not therapy. In fact, most psychiatrists are not therapists. Yes, they listen to see what is going on, but their role is not to counsel you like a therapist would. However, I have found this staff to go above and beyond when need be. II have been seeing Pat Senior since I began and for years I really only needed medication management; what I was doing worked, and we only needed to check in every few months to make sure it was still working. This could easily be done in a 15 minute appointment. However, since having my baby nine months ago, I have struggled a lot to get back on course. Pat meets with me every other week and goes far beyond just throwing pills at me. Yes, she tries to adjust my medication to find something that will work but that's what her job is. Even though her role is not to be a talk therapist, she still listens to me and gives me other ways to handle my issues without resorting to medicine. In terms of advertisements in a doctor's office, this office has no more ads than any other modern medical office. They all have signs and brochures for different products. They don't push any of these products on you; the information is just there for the taking. I'm also not sure what happened with the person who couldn't find seating. They give you papers or the tablet to fill out and you can sit on their numerous couches or chairs in the waiting room. I really think this is an excellent place to receive help. If you call and there is a wait to get in, it's because there are so many people who want to work with this staff.

started going to Island counseling about 12 years ago. The worst place you could possibly go. I use…read moreto see Dr. Tobacco, the first thing that was a red flag was you would show up for a 9am appointment and there would be 3 other people there with a 9am app as well. Then to make matters worse is Dr Tobacco would not show up until 11am. So at this point they are double to triple scheduling and this guy shows up 2 hours late! So after figuring out not to make an app to early you would think at noon you would be all set, NOPE ! They continued to schedule two to three people at the same time. With this doctor and I use the term doctor lightly and him showing up two to three hours late every time his appointments are so backed up you sit there for hours. Then the joke is after sitting there for no less than an hour but usually more this quack would call you over to the side with a few others and just tell you he sent ya script in and bye. Wow !!!!! STAY FAR AWAY for this joke of a treatment center and Dr Quack Tobacco!

He may prescribe pills but needs a lesson in prescribing compassion. Sympathy is feeling compassion, sorrow, or pity for the hardships that another person encounters, while empathy is putting yourself in the shoes of another. He does not know these words.

In reality he was best served retiring a decade ago , his outdated methods and advice are questionable at best . I went at the advice of another Dr. For work related stress and this Dr. Seemed more interested in the insurance and copay's than anything else , He seemed confused at times and on the last visit actually nodded off . He's old but still somewhat sharp , he sees there's still a buck to be made out of pretending to listen . For work related stress exercise is far cheaper and more beneficial than this guy ! .
