I encountered an environment that was unprofessional and lacking in basic respect and kindness. Despite my ability to work well with a wide range of personalities and teams, I was met with hostility and poor treatment by members of my department. I believe everyone deserves a workplace culture rooted in mutual respect, and that was not my experience here. That said, I walked away with an important lesson: some situations are not worth fighting for, and protecting your own well-being must come first.

I give them…read moresooooo much credit for extending my wife's life to over 4X what her old doctors said she'd have a when first diagnosed(8+ years vs up to 1-2 years). This is such a difficult job, dealing with patients who quite often won't be around too long, but the nurses, assistants and doctors all tried everything that my insurance would approve. There were a lot of times that treatments or procedures were denied. My wife's cancer was vicious and aggressive. She tried every probably every chemo or immunotherapy on the market, did radiation multiple times, did infusions, had surgeries, and they always did their best to keep her truthfully informed, and keep her spirits up, even when the news wasn't good. Now my wife generally hates going to the doctor, but a trip to Diablo Valley was more like talking with friends for her. Now I will say to ask questions, and get all copies reports for yourself, so you can go home, and read and learn about what is happening. I think it was difficult doing this, but made everything make sense about what was happening. When you have a little knowledge about your treatment and conditions, the decisions are much easier to make in my opinion. I will miss my wife more than I can explain, but I truly believe they did their best to take care of Jerusha. Rest In Peace.

The last time- we were put on a waitlist for a PET SCAN because they didn't have any available appointments sooner than many weeks out. We were given a call on a Friday afternoon for an opening the following morning, confirmed details with the woman who called, and arrived to a separate woman downstairs saying the appointment was cancelled because we didn't answer. Wtf? We spoke to her because SHE CALLED US. I'll never forget how sad and disappointed their patient was driving home and listening to them sniffling and fighting back tears.

I don't actually remember who told me about CC Crisis Center, but I called them shortly after I lost my sister in an unexpectedly tragic accident. It took a few weeks to be placed with a one-on-one counselor, but I was prepared for that. They matched me with someone I now feel very comfortable being alone with. And that is why it takes a little time. CC Crisis Center can provide one-on-one, or group counseling, or both. Honestly, I don't know if their services span beyond grief counseling. But for my loss, grief counseling was what I needed, and I really struck out using the resources offered by my HealthNet insurance plan. I feel so fortunate to have found this place and been assigned a counselor who I believe will really help me heal. One on one counseling might not be for everyone, or might not be useful for every personal situation, but for me, for right now, it's really been a huge life-saver. I'm a positive person who needs help learning how to grieve in a healthy way, and CC Crisis Center has made this possible. I'm still new to the process of speaking to a stranger about very personal moments and feelings, but I truly believe this will help me get through my loss in the most healthy way possible.

If you're looking to volunteer for them, then this is my experience with them. This is a review /…read morefeedback on only their volunteer selection & training process, not on their services. There are no interviews and screening processes. So there is no way to knw exactly what their expectations are and what their "culture" is. Once you finish their online training for several weeks, you go in for a background check and then start in-person training. They give you a training manual with exercises over several weeks, and have you listen to calls, make call logs, discuss calls with you etc. No timeline / deadline is mentioned. I did all of this, under the assumption that they were acting in good faith, and serious about my time and their time. I attended in-person training from Oct 10, 2021 to Dec 12, 2021, first with Scott Chavez and then with "A" (Anna). I missed 1 week, because I was sick, but Anna asked me not to come in, esp if I was ill. During my training, Scott and Anna never told me how long training was actually supposed to take, what expectations were actually there from volunteers etc. They merely said I would be coming in and doing the weekly training sessions (4 hours on a Sunday -- I picked Sunday). Through out my time there, there was never any alarmingly negative feedback. After 3 weeks, Scott "handed me over" to Anna (or "A" as she prefers to be called). Through out the training, both Scott and "A" indicated that I would only be doing 211 and APS/CPS line, eventually "moving up" to all lines, including crisis and talk lines. On Sunday, Dec 12, "A" informed me that I would be starting that following Sunday (Dec 19). She did not indicate any issues or any challenges with my training or my ability to "man" their lines. We spent my last shift going through "mock calls", creating call records and call logs etc. Nothing about my challenges with multi-tasking etc, just that I start the following Sunday. Well, lo and behold, late on Friday, Dec 17, I got a call from Justin Jarret, the volunteer manager, that they were "letting me go" because I could not "multi-task" and took "too long to train". He further stated that I was expected to man all the lines (211/ APS / CPS / CRISIS / TALK) from Week 3 (when the manual clearly shows more than 3 weeks of training). When I pointed out that none of this had ever been mentioned to me during training, as training was done on their schedule and it was their staff's call that I would only man APS/CPS/211 to begin with, he became defensive and said I couldn't "multi-task" because I (like one of their staff members) indicated that I would take notes on paper first and then enter the information on the computer because I wanted to focus on the call and enter details later. When I attempted to discuss this further, he simply said, "Sorry, this is a team decision to let you go" and hung up on me abruptly. Jarrett had never had any interaction with me through out the hands-on training process. And if I had taken "too long to train" and had been expected to start on Week 3, then why not tell me that on Week 4? Why let me waste my time and gas money driving 16 miles to their center every Sunday, giving me positive feedback on the training exercises in their training manual, only to "terminate" me the Friday before I started? What happened between Dec 12 when "A" told me I was going to start on Dec 19, and Dec 17 when Justin calls to claim "it wouldn't work out"? I emailed Scott asking for feedback and his response was that I should take classes at DVC due to my "love" for "learning". Yes, Scott's feedback on the entire saga was that I should attend community college. My emails to Justin bounced and Lesley did not bother to respond. If you're intending to volunteer here, please make sure you know what their expectations are before hand, before - like me - you commit 4 months of your time and your gas money to these people. YOU have to ask because they won't tell you what their expectations are. You have to ensure you're jumping in ready to go on Week 3 (per Justin), never mind what the trainers and the training manual says. In fact, I got blindsided by Anna's claim I was going to start the following week only to be fired! Yes, sometimes volunteers are not a good fit for the agency and vice-versa but the time to let them know is WEEK 2 OR WEEK 3, not several weeks later, 2 days before they are due to start! The lack of respect and their inability to be upfront with their volunteers is unbelievable. The entire thing is so utterly disorganized and the lack of clear, open and HONEST communication is utterly galling. So, beware and make sure your time and money is not wasted like mine was. Good luck!

Dr. Intal is incredibly knowledgeable and truly takes the time to listen. He doesn't rush through appointments -- he asks thoughtful questions and really pays attention to what you're experiencing. What impresses me most is how intuitive he is. Every time I go in for my back and neck pain, he seems to immediately know exactly where my pain points are -- even the ones I forgot to mention. His expertise and attention to detail make such a difference. After each session, I leave feeling aligned, relieved, and noticeably better. Dr. Intal is also extremely patient and explains what he's doing and why, which makes me feel comfortable and confident in my treatment plan. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients' well-being and long-term health, not just quick fixes. If you're dealing with chronic back or neck pain, I highly recommend seeing Dr. Intal at The Remedy. It's rare to find a provider who combines deep knowledge, skill, and compassion the way he does. I'm so grateful to have found him -- he has truly made a positive impact on my quality of life!

I've worked with Riley, Christine, and David and all three have been fantastic. They've been knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, and great at explaining the "why" behind the exercises and treatment plan. The office itself is also run extremely efficiently. Communication has been clear from day one, scheduling has been smooth, and honestly it just sets the golden standard for how a medical/therapy office should operate. The Limber Health app can be a little finicky at times, but that's obviously outside of the clinic's control. I still really appreciate having the assigned "homework" exercises between sessions because it helps keep progress moving forward outside the office. Overall, really solid experience so far and I'd absolutely recommend them to anyone starting PT, especially if you're new to the process like I was.

My experience with this organization has been extremely disappointing and, in my opinion, reflects…read morea system that prioritizes billing over meaningful support for families. I was ordered by the court to participate in co-parenting counseling through COPE, which effectively left me with no practical alternative provider. Prior to beginning services, I was informed by Megan that the cost would be approximately $45 per session. I was later surprised to discover that I was being charged approximately $160 per session instead. When I raised this concern, Megan Van Carpels advised me that she would investigate the discrepancy and recommended that I request reimbursement. Despite multiple communications, I never received a follow-up or resolution. I was ultimately directed to contact Headway on my own, leaving me to navigate the issue without any meaningful assistance from the organization. I was equally disappointed with the quality of the counseling services provided. My sessions with Isabel often lacked structure, guidance, and actionable feedback. Rather than facilitating productive communication, identifying areas for improvement, or helping develop effective co-parenting strategies, many sessions consisted primarily of passive observation. As a result, I found myself questioning the value being provided relative to the substantial fees being charged. For a service that is frequently court-ordered and intended to support families during challenging circumstances, I expected greater transparency, accountability, professionalism, and therapeutic value. Instead, I was left frustrated by the billing practices, lack of follow-through, and overall quality of the services received. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this organization.

She was so miserable to talk to, she had the worst attitude, and I wonder why she's even working in therapy? This company sucks, I pray to God I never have to go through them again, and I would give them zero stars if I could. They do not actually care about making situations better, they care about court ordered therapy so that they can get their check. That's all I have to say about this joke of a company.
