Thanks…read moreDoc, my life insurance was cancelled and even though I have been to a number of doctors, I have not had one who would second that diagnosis. I had monthly appointments for a long time. He would be writing the prescription as I walked in the door. Put me on anxiety meds with no questions asked or an attempt to warn of possible addiction. Rarely more than a few minutes in his office and it was time to write the check. I felt like I was meeting a dealer. It's all about the money.

She is very scientific about her approach to medicine, very careful and calculating about what to try next - very much akin to a scientist.

I came here in April of 2023 seeking help after the loss of my father and my twin brother within…read morethe span of 2-3 months in 2019. I had attempted to self medicate using alcohol which wasn't really helping. I was having trouble with my emotions and in general was trying to work through a lot of grief. To be honest I don't feel like I received any help or guidance from the therapist/counselor I was assigned other than I should seek the services of an alcohol treatment program which was very expensive. Ultimately for me anyway finding folks who would listen to me, and help me work through what I was going through made a huge difference in my life. I would have thought that would be the kind of help you would get from a practice such as this, unfortunately that wasn't my experience. Your experience or mileage in this case may vary or be different from mine, and I whole heartedly hope that to be the case. I haven't detected an ounce of compassion, care, or empathy from anyone I've dealt with here so its not a place I could recommend you go if your looking for help as I was.

More than that, I'd say she saved me on a couple of occasions. The entire staff here is fantastic. Beth, the receptionist, always greets me by name and with a smile, and she's incredibly professional and efficient. Dr Spence is a child psychologist who specializes in neuropsychology and she has given me tremendous insight about my child. My counselor leska has also seen my oldest daughter and my husband, and they both think she's wonderful as well. If you need long term help, short term help, and want a staff that's kind, professional, personable, and incredible, please visit this office. I cannot say enough good things about these amazing people!

I would not spend time here unless you want someone to falsify your medical record and harm you for months then pretend like they thought they were helping. The people who worked here are absolutely delusional and to have to move states to get away from their harm and to see they tried to send their advice when I had tactfully ended things and secured proper care. You would not believe how ill equipt these people are to solve meaningful problems and you do not need to be lobotomized out of your independence to subsidize them. Here's all the advice you need. Go see a nutritionist. Work out. Cut off problem people who impact you and your wallet. Cut off anyone who lies as much as these people. To get rid of 100% of your problems- stay away from Christians and people who think they know better than you FOR you. I have to say after living in New York and DC, having someone's nose up your crotch or in your mind is the definition of hell. Not only was I suprised that "projects" were considered a mental illness. Did you know that that's what engineers are paid to do? Did you know for my job debate was important? Were you aware that critical thinking was never my downfall? I had never had a delusion or hallucination or psychosis- you are not qualified to treat stroke, migraine, etc. You tried to lobotomize me out of the creativity I needed to do a job. Took all the color in the world and tried to replace it with you. Dear God leave people alone you are delusional if you think you are helping people. What a scam!

I had to work with them for 3 months to get a credit for a missed appointment that the office told my daughter we wouldn't be charged for but we were. Then my daughter had an appointment. I called patient support and billing 2-3 times in advance to point out that she had a credit and to make sure that her co-pay would be taken out of this credit. I was assured over and over that it would be. Then I was billed $48 for the appointment yesterday. I called billing. They were rude and told me they have no record of a credit. Additionally, when viewing invoices in their portal, it shows that I've been paying $5 for her co-pays when in reality I've been paying $30. Patient support always tells me that the Pelham office will call me back but they never do. And I can't call the office because they removed their phone system. Yes - I wrote that. They actually removed their phone system so that patients can't call them. You can only call a call center. God, please let this whole Ally Psych corp that sprawls across 9 states get sued and close down. It is corrupt, incompetent and appalling.

He gave me a prescription for a med and it worked good and then the next refill, my current pharmacy changed manufactures and the it made me feel very sick.

Last month, he sent the med to the wrong pharmacy and I have been trying to contact him since. No response, the pharmacy reached out to him several times and he won't answer. Why would you put someone on meds and just stop responding? This med is horrible stopping and then starting again. I won't be back.
