I have to say that I have found California Psychiatric Transitions, to be a place where my family…read moremember seems to be happy. Everyone is friendly, especially Ashley, my family members team leader. She is understanding, friendly, polite and understands that we come a long way to get to their facilities, she even gives us accommodations, to see my family member a little longer. It seems like a nice place, cute area, plenty of land. I thank everyone very much for being very kind, friendly, and courteous to my family member and myself. Thanking all for doing a wonderful job.

I've been a patient of Doctor Hetnal for 25 years. He is a wonderful Doctor who truly cares about…read morehis patients. He is very professional, as well as very caring at the same time. He listens carefully, asks insightful questions and considers which medication would be most appropriate. He explains why he thinks a medication might be a good choice, and always goes over the possible side effects. He recommends psychotherapy if he feels it would be beneficial. He has given me incredible support throughout my late twenties up through my early 50's. I've had several ups and downs. I'm not an easy patient to work with. There is a reason I have always stuck with Dr. Hetnal. He is my rock. He always helps me deal with and overcome the challenges that have come my way. He goes above and beyond for his patients. He is the best.

Excellent, excellent psychiatrist. He literally saved my life as I was deeply depressed and…read moresuicidal. My therapist believed that I suffered PTSD from childhood trauma and needed medication to get me out of the extreme cycling (which would be several times a day). I've been with Dr. Hetnal for about six years. He is warm and supportive. I am deeply grateful for his care.

I have found the office staff to be just as courteous and always helpful. Some people need to understand that there is a difference between a "talk" therapist who will spend 30 - 50 minutes with you and a doctor or nurse practitioner qualified to prescribe meds. I have been to many therapists and would highly recommend Randy. Sherry M.

I got their e-newsletter for some reason recently and remembered when my child's mother and I…read moredecided to bring our child in for an evaluation. We each filled out intake paperwork in advance. When I showed up and handed mine over to the front desk, the front office worker said that they had mom's and didn't need mine and proceeded to throw mine away. Fortunately, the medical practitioner was wiser and less rude and eventually retrieved it. I also was not allowed to get or give the front office any information, though I was the one to initiate services. I was told only mom could do things like make and change appointments. Over months and months of interactions, I was treated rudely and dismissively and repeatedly reminded that my opinion didn't matter by both office staff and the clinician.

I think it should be a standard practice that they notify people when a doctor or PA that you see…read moreon a regular basis is not going to be available for months especially when your appointment is within one of those months and they don't notify anybody. It was the same thing with Sutter when my primary care doctor left Sutter nobody notified and it was really hard to get in to have a new primary I went months and months without a primary I used to like Sutter but they are falling down for sure. They're not consumer friendly I don't believe so anymore.

The psychiatrist and therapist I see here are good and work well for me... if I can get in to see them. Waiting 3-4 months to see either of them isn't very helpful at all. This office (Modesto psychiatric offices in general) are overbooked. With waiting times that long, the community has shown there is a great need for more physicians and therapists.

His suggestions, when I follow them, have always proven good. He seems to have my best interest at heart.
