    Must consent to super wordy 'TeleVisit' consent form
    David R.

    AVOID... "Professionals" are OVER THE TOP manipulative, 'initial call is screening' this screener has a Radical influence on how their "MANY LOCATIONS= when actually NOT a 'Single" Primary Specialist of Neuro-Psychiatrist {Extremely Educated Brain Expert...BUT NOT ONE is involved, Despite DECEPTIVE 'call center' reps. Not a 'Large company' but actually a FEW DIFFERENT 'Providers' {separate offices who "contract" to THIS referral service!} it's the Easiest DIRECT review, Most Simply said: AVOID Avoid, Avoid!!! But Why? Well... NEVER experienced a SINGLE actual appointment, despite about 4-5 scheduled appointments including Tele-{REMOTE}--Appointments... BUT even with the Phone or video-phone appointments they never bothered to mention to sign-in 30 minutes before appointment because they have a REQUIREMENT to complete a MINIMUM of 15-20 minutes worth of Multiple Choice question/Answers that are REQUIRED... BUT if you take "TOO LONG" to complete aka IF ANSWERS are responded to in a "Slow manner" or other than 'QUICKLY'! Then appoint cancelled! SINCE their Quiz of Seriously a minimum of 50 multiple choice 'Introspective' questions; IF On caffeine or 'FULLY CLEAR thinking' a minimum of 15 minutes worth (if Not actively INFLUENCED by any pain medication, = which Slow 'clear thought' mentation, Or espresso) or if someone is Contemplative...up to 25+ minutes worth of Multiple choice Questions BUT this quiz MUST be filled out IMMEDIATELY BEFORE appointment and I only figured this out AFTER a few Appointments Were Missed both 2 in/person and 2 'tele-health'; I gave up on them! A couple 'providers' required a Up-front agreement for their provider to take over ALL medications and a commitment for willingness to Share all nutraceutical and vitamins in use... They want to CONTROL it ALL! I just wanted a qualified specialist-doctor to Deliver a certification -- document of how Pain management causes medication related OUD per Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to communicate to Other physicians! While speaking to a Supervisor in-charge I said: What the Heck!?! Why won't you CLEARLY INFORM 'in advance' about "Required" Extended 50-80 multiple choice series of questions? They Don't include any notice, must be completed BEFORE scheduled appointment otherwise APPOINTMENT cancelled and if...Ya Take "Too Long" and IF questions not answered appointment rescheduled and if appointment is affected by up to 10 minutes worth of 'intended time with "Doc" then Appointment is RESCHEDULED! RIDICULOUS! Pain meds = SLOW THINKING capacity... In Mid-Summer/ July 2023; After experiencing a injury to both my wrists from a very unpleasant incidental-experience resulting in severe injuries to each wrist including what has become a permanent injury because various then 4 weeks later experienced Debilitating Auto collision. Facepalm ‍

    What has surprised me the most in working with Dr. Tran is the way he listens -- deeply, patiently,…read moreand with genuine interest. Before him, I had experiences where I felt like I had to fight to be heard, rush through concerns, or only share the "important" symptoms because I worried the provider didn't have time for the rest. That kind of environment makes it hard to be vulnerable or honest. With Dr. Tran, it's the complete opposite. For the first time, I feel like I can say everything without needing to filter or edit myself. He listens to the full story, even when I'm rambling, anxious, or unsure how to articulate what l'm feeling. He doesn't interrupt. He doesn't rush me along. He doesn't jump to conclusions. He lets me speak in my own pace and my own way. Then, once I'm finished, he reflects back what he heard - not in a robotic way, but in a way that makes it clear he truly understood what I meant, not just what I said. That level of careful listening has helped me open up more than I ever have in mental health treatment. There have been sessions where I walked in overwhelmed, on the verge of tears, or feeling completely lost. He never looks uncomfortable or impatient. He stays calm, grounded, and steady, gently guiding me through the conversation until I can breathe again and see things clearly. That kind of support has been invaluable. And when I have questions -- whether about symptoms, medications, or even just the emotional experience of what I'm going through -- he answers them thoroughly and thoughtfully. Never rushed. Never dismissive. Never acting like I should already know the answer. I always leave appointments feeling more informed, more grounded, and more seen. Because I finally feel truly heard, my progress has accelerated dramatically. I'm able to share things I've held in for years, and that honesty has transformed the way I understand myself. I can't express how rare and meaningful that experience has been.

    What makes Dr. Tran stand out from almost every provider I've seen is his ability to see the whole…read moreperson, not just the diagnosis. So many clinicians focus only on symptom checklists: sleep, appetite, energy, mood rating, anxiety level. But they overlook the deeper layers that drive those symptoms. Dr. Tran does the opposite. He understands that mental health is connected to everything: relationships, identity, stress, physical health, past experiences, lifestyle, trauma, even daily habits. And he weaves all of those layers into treatment in a way that feels seamless and supportive.   He asks about what's happening at work, at home, socially, emotionally, physically. Not out of curiosity, but because he understands how interconnected each part of life is. He notices patterns between sleep, stress, mood, and behavior. He helps me understand how certain environments impact me or how certain habits influence my energy. His holistic approach isn't just psychological. It's practical. He encourages healthy routines, grounding techniques, boundaries, coping strategies, scheduling adjustments, and lifestyle shifts that actually fit into my life. None of it feels overwhelming or unrealistic. He explains why each change matters and how it supports the bigger picture. Because he treats me as a whole person, I've noticed improvements far beyond my initial symptoms. My confidence is higher. My energy is better. My daily functioning has improved. I feel more balanced emotionally and more capable mentally. Working with him has shown me what psychiatric care should be: not just symptom management, but true whole-person healing.

I recently was advised by my Primary Care physician to go back to Therapy and back to a psychiatrist to get back on medication to help my problems related to my ongoing condition from childhood. I relayed this to Moses Morar, and to my surprise He had no recollection of me being his patient. The blatant disrespect the physician even had to question if I was telling the truth is despicable. I'm a grown man, not some teen punk trying to get drugs.. I thought I had rapport with this guy, and at least a paper trail of receipts on his end. But Nada. Just me and my solid book of receipts and past prescriptions, he prescribed me and paper trail. Very upsetting and embarrassing. I paid btw. I do not recommend this facility you will not get the medication you need.

    I am incredibly disappointed with my care here at alliance psychiatric group…read more I have changed doctors over the past few years. My last doctor was impossible to get ahold of if i had any issues outside of an appointment. Which tends to happen when you are new and trying new medications. The office doesn't answer the phone. They only talk over text. Over the past year I have been very consistent with rebooking my appointments at the end of my appointments to avoid the front office. I must have forgotten to rebook an appointment because I was nearing the end of my bottle of anti-depressants and noticed that I didn't have an appointment on the books. I tried contacting the front office and I asked them if i could get a short order to hold me over and they refused and told me that the only opening would be after my prescription ran out. They offered no solution to my issue. They ended up squeezing me in but not until a lot of back and forth. Last week they send me this text: hello Stephanie, your insurance is currently returning as inactive! I just got married and ended up having to change insurance. When i told them it was Tricare and asked if they took it they replied, "We do not accept Tricare!" I am fine with finding another doctor because I cannot stand the incompetency of the front desk. Why are you texting me? Why is there an explanation point at the end? Why do you have absolutely no customer service etiquette at all! You are dealing with people with anxiety issues. 3 years ago, when i first came here these interactions would rile me up into tears. Thankfully I've grown but after telling them I'll have to find another doctor the response was, "I'll cancel the appointment!" My last appointment was pretty serious. Does Dr. Niko even know that I am no longer a patient due to insurance issues? Isn't there a process one needs to go through to leave a doctor's care as I find a replacement? I'm pretty upset I'm not even getting a last check in to make sure that I am okay due to the nature of our last appointment.

They both are super knowledgeable, helpful, and have the best interest of the patients in mind in everything they do. This isn't a scripted review or anything, these are my honest thoughts about a great psychiatry office; I've had a few bad ones before this, and there's a reason I've stuck with Allied Psychiatry for years.

Reaching out for mental health support can already be difficult, and being met with that kind of treatment made the experience even more discouraging. I decided that my mental health would be better served elsewhere rather than having to go through someone who treats people this way. It's simply not worth enduring that behavior when seeking help. By the way receptionist I am so easy going and unproblematic.... all I said was I'm a little late about 10 min (because my sister just got in a car accident) which I didn't share because regardless I'm late & whatever I need to do next is fine...so I say.. I'm in the waiting room online & she said "UMMmmnm NO! you need to reschedule because Sabrina is already with a patient right now!" she had a very ugly tone and by all means no thank you that was the nastiest attitude I have ever received and I rather get no help then have to be spoken and treated like that by the receptionist working 7/16/26 around 2:45-3:00pm Thank you Sabrina for all the help even though our time was short!
