He's listed as a provider under Ambetter so I chose this insurance company. I called today to make an appointment only to be told by an extremely rude member of his staff that they do not accept Ambetter... when I asked why he was listed as a provider, I was told that the corporate group accepts that insurance but he doesn't. I then asked how was I supposed to know that since he shows up as a provider her response was that "I should have called the office... I'll have ro find another dr.! I'm not going that easy...as a radio host it'll be the subject of my shows for the next MONTH! RUDE people have no place in customer service positions! I guess my loyalty to his practice means nothing therefore I'll have no problem trashing it on air! Shame on you Dr. Bates for allowing what you've built to tarnished by corporate mismanagement. I've checked with Ambetterb and they have you listed with a valid contract... in addition they have indicated that you have NOT submitted any paperwork to withdraw from their network... hence they will be filing a complaint against your practice which I will be posting on social network as soon as i get my hands on it. Your "first impression" team has failed miserably. I'm now committed to pay an insurance company for a year...that serves no purpose since I chose it so I could continue to have you as my primary care physician. Maybe... just maybe that woman that was so rude should pay more attention to having the correct information on the insurance site than being rude and callous to patients...! Judging from the other reviews this seems to be the new norm fure you'r office...! Again... shame on you!

When it was brought to their attention, they not only didn't apologize, but refused to order my prescriptions to cover me until my next appointment. Having a lapse in treatment for the type of medication I'm on has very high risk for depression, suicidal ideation and suicide. When I expressed this to the office manager she pretty much just said tough shit. All they clearly care about is making money and they do not at all prioritize patient care or health. I'd avoid this group of criminals at all costs. They honestly belong behind bars.

If you're looking for a dangerous, negligent psychiatric practice, look no further than Elevate…read morePsychiatry. My experience here has been filled with administrative incompetence, medical negligence, and a blatant disregard for patient care. This practice appears to prioritize profits over patient well-being, leaving itself wide open to legal liability. The issues began immediately with billing errors. I was repeatedly overcharged for visits due to misinformation about my co-pay, which required me to fight for refunds. While frustrating, this was just the beginning compared to the negligence in my psychiatric care. Dr. Sused Hidalgo prescribed a medication for my diagnosis, but when my insurance didn't cover it, the pharmacy suggested an alternative. She issued a new prescription within minutes--without reviewing my chart or evaluating if it was appropriate for my condition. When I raised concerns, I found out Elevate had never even obtained my medical records from my previous psychiatrist. Despite completing a HIPAA form and requesting the transfer myself, they failed to follow through. Dr. Hidalgo prescribed medication without access to my medical history, and when I pointed this out, she dismissed my concerns, stating we could "discuss it during the next visit." There was no accountability or acknowledgment of the potential harm caused by this negligence. In search of better care, I was assigned to Dr. Dolores ("Doly"). Her approach was even worse. Despite providing her with genetic testing results showing which medications would likely work for me, she dismissed them as mere "suggestions." When I reported severe side effects from her prescribed medications--worsening anxiety, sedation, and erratic behavior--she refused to adjust the treatment plan. Dr. Doly also made bizarre and offensive comments, such as: "Depressed people don't wear makeup. I recommend some women wear makeup to feel better." "I don't believe in bipolar II. Depression is just a side effect of bipolar, and I think you're bipolar I." Her assessments were conducted entirely via Telehealth, which is not permitted for diagnosing and treating complex conditions like bipolar disorder. This is unethical and a violation of medical guidelines. On July 12, I sent a detailed email to the owner, Mr. Bhatia, outlining these issues. Despite following up with voicemails, I never received a response. My last appointment was on October 31, and as of December 10, no one from the practice has reached out. This lack of follow-up makes it clear they only care about money, not their patients' health. Elevate Psychiatry's negligence includes: * Medical malpractice: Prescribing medications without proper evaluation or access to my medical records. * HIPAA violations: Failing to request or obtain my previous medical documentation. * Insurance fraud: Overcharging me despite confirmed coverage. * Negligent Telehealth practices: Diagnosing and treating complex conditions remotely without required in-person evaluations. This practice is not just incompetent, but dangerous. If you value your health, avoid Elevate Psychiatry. I have documented proof of every interaction to support my claims. I feel so strongly about advising others to avoid this practice that I have written multiple reviews across platforms, filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB), and made two separate reports to the Florida Department of Health (DOH) and HIPAA. I want to be very clear that this is not slander, libel, harassment, or defamation. This is my honest experience, and my only intention in sharing it is to warn others and hope that Elevate Psychiatry will make serious changes to avoid causing harm to more patients.

I had a very disappointing and frustrating experience with Elevated Psychiatry. Over the past two…read moreweeks, I had two therapy appointments scheduled, and in both cases, no one showed up. Last week, I waited in the virtual room for over an hour, but no one joined the session or reached out to explain why the appointment wasn't happening. Then, yesterday, I waited on the phone for half an hour for another pre-scheduled therapy session, and again, nobody joined. In August, I had an appointment with Carla and was informed that the cost would be $129, which I agreed to pay upfront. I joined the virtual meeting on time, but after waiting 15 minutes, the secretary finally joined just to collect the payment. Only after I paid did the doctor appear, and she informed me we had only 15 minutes left. That was barely enough time to even start discussing whether I needed any medication, and the session was rushed. Afterward, I received a bill for $428, which was clearly incorrect. I had to waste time calling them to get the error corrected, and they finally charged me $129. But even that felt unfair because I didn't receive the 30-minute evaluation I was eligible for. The appointment didn't result in any meaningful progress other than scheduling another session with a different therapist. To make matters worse, there's been no explanation or apology for the missed appointments, and it's almost impossible to get in touch with anyone to resolve these issues. It's incredibly discouraging to seek help for mental health only to be treated this poorly. Their unprofessionalism has only added more stress to my situation, and I wouldn't recommend their services to anyone.

It was also very hard when I first started my search for a licensed mental health professional to figure out who I could possibly trust and feel comfortable with in sharing knowledge of my family's most private struggles. But after reviewing one website after another of possible candidates I could meet with in our local area, I decided to go with my gut feeling and made an appointment to see Dr. Babette Rosabal. It must have been fate because quite instantly, and unexpectedly, I started to open up to her and shared with her more about myself and my family than I ever thought I would feel comfortable in doing during a first meeting. This is a testament to the very professional and yet equally approachable way about her. Since then, I have had 7-8 sessions with her and I feel immensely fortunate to have her as my therapist. From the way she speaks to you, looks and smiles at you, warmly invites you to share whatever troubles you, listens and responds to you without judgement but instead offers you advice by way of providing another perspective/lens by which to view the situation you are in, you will no doubt find her to be fully engaged and wholeheartedly committed to helping you work things out. She is always calm, focused and yet very relaxed, intently listening versus writing notes throughout, and you can sense that she is a natural in helping people through their emotional conflicts. Just having the opportunity to be able to open up and share my concerns and troubles with her has been so relieving to me. The great trust I have in her is evident by the fact that I have also had each of my kids privately meet with her as well. I don't think I could more strongly state what a benefit she has been to my family. Dr. Rosabal is definitely someone who elevates her profession and I am writing this review to help others know that she is someone worth meeting. If you are contemplating psychotherapy/counseling for the first time or are just searching for a therapist that you may better connect with, I would highly recommend you call Dr. Rosabal. I feel very fortunate and thankful that I did.
