The office never notified any of her patients even though I spoke with someone there YESTERDAY. She responded to my email this morning in such a cavalier and insulting manner I am still in shock. What kind of Dr ghosts on their patients in the middle of care like this? She brings up her old NP that left in July- even though I've known this and we've spoken about it since the NP left. This is not prioritizing patient care. Imagine waking up to an email response like this?

Dr. Jacobson is a lifesaver. I have been in his care for over 20 years now. I first saw him in…read moreNorthridge because he was the psychiatrist my insurance company was contracted with. Immediately I bonded with him. His bedside manner is delightful and his work ethic is admirable. He after the first visit discovered that I wasn't just clinically depressed,I was manic. I was laid off my job in 2009 after the company was sold and went into a deep depression. I had been working with Tri-anim for 24 years. Dr. Jacobson worked with me closely. He was pleased when I found another job in just 3 weeks. He told me to update my resume and told me about Monster and Indeed.com. When my contract job ended I couldn't find anything because I didn't have a degree. He told me about online universities where the coursework is easier than going to college for 4 years. I was extremely anxious about how I was going to pay my rent. I had amassed over $375K in my 401K, and Dr. Jacobson told me to take out some money for the bills. When I called they said that since I was no longer an employee I had to leave it alone or open up a Ira at a bank and then transfer everything to the new account, so that's what Dr. Jacobson said to do. One thing I forgot to mention is that he moved his office to Agoura Hills, and he was not accepting Medi-cal. He said don't worry" I'll charge you the insurance rate of $75 per office visit which is unheard of. Psychiatrists of his caliber charge upwards of $300 to their cash patients. When I complained about the drive to Agoura Hills from Northridge, he said " Jordan don't stress. We can do television via Whatsapp and I'll see you at no charge. WTF? That was unbelievable. This is the kind of human being he is. I continue in his care today, and haven't paid him a dime since 2009. What a mench. Jewish for an angel. Recently my insurance company stopped paying for my medicine so he put me on Abilify. I only pay $25 per month, but it doesn't work as good as Vraylar for me, but the share of cost for Vraylar with Humana is $400/mo. I am only in Social Security and my husband is disabled so our monthly income is only $3,000. Our rent is $1895. My insurance broker Steven Ruhkmann told me to call the manufacturer and apply for financial aid. Dr. Jacobson texted me on Sunday evening at 7:00 pm to tell me he is finishing his part of the application and he needed to send me a document to sign. On a Sunday night he's still working. Old- fashioned work ethic. Now, I need a note from him to make my new kitten an emotional support animal for me because I wasn't allowed to bring him aboard the bus for a Grand Canyon West and Hoover Dam tour in Las Vegas. So, my husband stayed in the hotel and I and my best friend took the tour. When I asked to get a refund for my husband's ticket they refused. They kicked him out for a 3 week old kitten and won't give me my $109 back. I called Viator who is the 3rd party and they got back to me with the same answer: No refunds. Dr Jacobson suggested that I contact an attorney and sue for discrimination. Always looking out for me. I told him that I won $150 in Vegas and to give me his Zelle number so I could at least send him $50 bucks. He responded to me this morning at 4:00 am and told me "I got plenty of money and you don't. Enjoy your winnings. So, I asked him where I can share my experience with his wonderful care, and he said Yelp. I've given too much information but you won't find a more dedicated, hard working professional psychiatrist than Walter E Jacobson, MD

Not the care I expected…read more I was initially hopeful starting out with Dr. Jacobson. I looked into providers in my area and found his "shrink bites" on YouTube insightful, especially on forgiveness. So, I became a new patient. Unfortunately, I was quick to realize that he rushes his appointments, leaving no time or opportunity for questions for further discussion. I did not feel invited to share anything or ask questions, as he often responds quickly with little patience--at least that's how I interpreted it. I followed his instructions when I started my medication and provided a summary on my experience, as directed for ADHD. I was responded with criticism for sharing too much. And this over-sharing happens to be an effect of the medication, which he failed to recognize. In my perception, his demeanor is overly professional and he does not take careful effort to monitor his patients' progress. I understand that he may have a large number of patients, but he should have at least take demonstrate patience with each one of us and have interest in our subjective worlds as patients. Speeding through obligatory questions and concluding an appointment in one minute was not what I was expecting. I believe patients have accountability on our ends to reach out when necessary, but we struggle with mental health and sometimes require an extra hand. We shouldn't be expected to be perfect, formal people. A passive aggressive text informing that I need an appointment is not the best move, considering I was going through an SSRI withdrawal for a few weeks. My depression got worse, as I felt uncared for and I blamed myself for expecting too much. It took me some time to get over my anxiety to reach out. Even though his part of my treatment is psychiatric medications, I could at least expect some empathy or emotion in his messages. A welcoming attitude is necessary on the provider's end for patients to open up. I struggle with depression and social anxiety, and it didn't seem as though he was considerate of that. I decided to accepted my mistake and moved on. I entered a PHP program after my SSRI withdrawal had sent me into a long depressive episode (which was my fault). There was a psychiatrist at my program who made minor changes to my medication plan. She knows I see an outside provider and I had allowed disclosure of treatment information to Dr. Jacobson. I did not consider her my primary psychiatric provider, so I continued seeing Dr. Jacobson. It seems there is this expectation from him that we know everything about insurance and the healthcare system and he gets frustrated over misunderstandings. So I was scolded at and I felt genuine fear as it reminded me of my childhood trauma. I was then instructed to come back when I am discharged from the program. Essentially, I just felt like another patient, and not another person. He just isn't what I was looking for. Maybe I should've been transparent, but I fear talking to him honestly. I've never felt this way with someone who is supposed to make me feel the opposite. He is not the best fit *for me* but he does his job sufficiently. If you just want a prescription quickly and conveniently, Dr. Jacobson may be your provider.

I came to Dr. Porter on the recommendation of a physician who sends all his neurological patients to her. A second recommendation came from a friend who has been a dedicated patient of Dr. Porter's for 20 years. They were right to praise her. The initial interview was thorough, relaxed and insightful. Doctor Porter has a comfortable manner and put my wife and me at ease as we discussed the steps involved . At the end of the interview, she suggested detailed actions to establish the baseline and gave me a list of neurological specialists to help her develop a comprehensive understanding of my neurological self. After being screened (with appropriate tests) by each of the specialists, I returned for a review with Dr. Porter. She placed their contributions in perspective and balanced them with the results of her own tests. And, again, her "bedside manner" was warm, engaging and thorough. My wife and I began the adventure with questions and Dr. Porter addressed all of them. We came away ready to take the steps she recommended, including committing even more deeply to the MIND diet. I highly recommend her. She'll take good care of you.

He is a wonderful therapist: He's patient, compassionate, sensitive, sharp, keenly in-tune with his patients, honest, kind, intuitive, gentle, calm, smart, funny, conscientious, and all around a stand-up gentleman who is dedicated to helping people. I know it can be a frightening thought to trust someone and let your guard down and be vulnerable, but trust me, there's no one else who will show more understanding and compassion toward you and your issues/concerns than this doctor. Typically, he's pretty solidly booked, but people often cancel to reschedule, so it's worth a try to give him a call. Give him a try, you won't regret it. A few things... -Accepts insurance. -All appts start at top of the hour and ends after about 50 mins. -Copay is collected at the end of your session. -Don't be late, as that hour is reserved for you. -For your first appt, arrive early to fill out some paperwork. -Therapy takes time, as the issue(s) you're dealing with are most likely as complex as you, so be patient, show up for appts, open up & follow his advice, and you will definitely feel better. Good luck!

I just completed my first journey as a surrogate and partnered with Simple Steps Fertility. It was…read morethe most amazing experience and Simple Steps Fertility was fantastic to work with. Surrogacy journeys are long, and there's a LOT of pieces that have to be put into place to get to the two main events - embryo transfer and delivering a baby. Partnering with an agency is really helpful because they are the experts. Having a team of people who know what they're doing as they walk with you along the way, people who are both knowledgable, kind, and 100% supportive, is incredibly important. That is what Simple Steps Fertility did for me. The owner and founder Tina is incredibly kind and personal, she made herself available to me for whatever I needed, she led our surrogate support group calls, and was even at my delivery! My case managers were both fantastic. They had a wealth of knowledge but always applied it at a level that met me where I was at in my journey, as well as what I needed personally. They made me feel supported each step of the journey, answered any question I ever had, and just became a friend I could trust. And the support continued both during the pregnancy as well as after I delivered, as multiple people on the team made sure I was recovering well and continued to have everything I need. I matched with the most amazing Intended Parents; it was like the team at Simple Steps Fertility knew that we needed to be in each other's lives and bridged that connection. The IVF clinic team was also superb. The doctor and her nurse communicated clearly, provided all medication instructions I needed in a clear fashion, and even handled a small complication with level heads, kindness, and professionalism. Finally, my lawyer during the legal clearance stage was the most kind and personal lawyer I could have hoped for. She did her job impeccably well, while making sure I never felt lost during the confusing legal stage. I highly recommend anyone interested in pursuing surrogacy to reach out and chat with the team at Simple Steps Fertility. They will care for you and ensure whatever journey you are on is the most amazing, memorable experience you could have.
