She has been prescribed benzodiazepines from a variety of her providers in the past. She states that she's had a Rx for them about 20 years now. The provider she saw from this office also had her on benzodiazepines, but recently moved out of the area. She refilled my mom's Rx for 60 days to bridge the gap of a provider change. My mom's first apt with her new provider was scheduled for late September via tele-health. No call! When she asked about it she was told that she had no appointment by reception & that she didn't pay her co-pay by billing. A new appointment was set & credit card number was provided. Again, no call!!! Again, she didn't pay her co-pay. Remember, they had the card # & my mom's authorization. B U T, it gets better! Billing tells her today that they won't let her speak with a provider until she pays what she owes. What does she owe? Nothing! She has already paid the out-of-pocket max, so there is/was no co-pay!! They cancelled 2 months in a row because of bad billing management. In an effort to avoid reports of elder abuse, a 'provider' called her today. If she wants to continue seeing them, he will prescribe her a new med. she should COLD TURKEY benzodiazepines that's she's taken 20 years. Please Google the consequences of that proposition. It's not good. I read their website, the CEO boasts the practice has won awards & they spearhead new treatments. I'm left wondering what award is given to providers who direct their patients/clients to do something that countless medical sources advise can cause seizures, delirium tremens (DT), catatonia, hallucinations, psychosis, suicide, & death?????? If you're looking for a new mental health provider, I encourage you to keep looking.

Me having to wait 2 months after I issued a complaint and asked to be switched psychiatrist is unacceptable. I still haven't heard back from office manager(grievance) for my complaint. I the patient should have a say of who I wanted to be treated by and if situation arises. I the patient should have my needs met and not be treated as an enemy . If I don't advocate for myself then who will. I'm still giving this facility a low rating because I only was able to switch psychiatrist because I wrote a review through yelp. Yes I love my new psychiatrist Jenna Vo but the faculty n facility in Anaheim hills need to work better for their patients and not for themselves. There is a reason to why they already have a low rating from many patients. I just hope that they do make a change to their practices n procedures.

Each time that I spoke with her on each one of my appointments she offered me a refill, but I told her I didn't need one at that time because I still had some left. But when I notified them that I wanted to change Doctors because I was not comfortable with her they told me I could still get a refill since I was down to only two and I would need them and I couldn't see the new doctor for a month. So I called and asked for a few more just to make sure I had them so I can take them "as needed" or just have them in case I need them until I see the next doctor and even though she offered me refills several times she denied giving me a refill once she knew that I wasn't going to use her anymore and told me to just go ahead and go to the emergency room if I needed help. When she knows very well that the emergency room is not necessary for panic attacks. But the medication helps. It was basically her FU to me and retaliatory. Because she was mad that I was not going to want to use her anymore so she has decided that she was not going to give me a refill and basically told me to F off and go to the hospital if I needed help. Mind you that in 74 days of having the medication I only took eight. But she basically treated me as if I was some sort of pill seeker that just wanted more and more pills. When really in reality she knows very well that I'm just trying to make sure that I don't have to go to the hospital every single day and spend thousands of dollars at the hospital for panic attack attacks. She's very cruel and dismissive

I almost got up & walked out but didn't. During the appointment she was continuously yawning & looking at her watch. I felt like saying gee, I'm sorry I'm disturbing you At the end of the appointment she made my next appointment for 6 weeks later.

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.

Got nothing but great things to say about this place and would recommend anybody seeking specialized care in this field to go. Unfortunately, I don't think Dr. Stutz has any more slots to take on more patients (reflection of how great he is) but I'm confident the other practitioners there will work all day to address what keeps you up at night.

I feel so fortunate to have found Dr. Vahidi. He is an exceptional listener who is never judgmental, and he takes the time to fully understand my concerns before discussing the available treatment options with me. In less than a year, I have seen tremendous improvements in my mental health. What I appreciate most is that he never pushes unnecessary medication. Instead, his recommendations are always evidence-based and thoughtfully tailored to my individual needs. After seeing several psychiatric providers over the years, I can confidently say that he is one of the top two psychiatrists I have ever had. Although he is the first male psychiatrist I have seen, his professionalism, compassion, and nonjudgmental approach made me feel completely at ease discussing my mental health challenges. He also gave me information about valuable resources to support my overall mental health. I highly recommend Dr. Vahidi to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, compassionate, and culturally sensitive psychiatrist. He has made a truly meaningful difference in my life, and I am deeply grateful for his care.

This review is based on a single appointment I had on January 22, 2026, with one practitioner--not…read morethe facility as a whole. I was referred to Harbor Psychiatry & Mental Health by my primary care provider for medication management. These medications are not optional--they are critical for my daily functioning, including managing depression, mood stabilization, and ADHD. I was assigned to Krista Ribota for a 45-minute telehealth assessment, and it was honestly one of the most distressing and upsetting medical experiences I've ever had. From the beginning, Krista was cold, dismissive, and visibly impatient. There was no warmth, no effort to make me feel comfortable, and no sense that she cared about me as a patient. I understand these assessments may be routine for her, but the way she conducted it felt robotic and completely lacking in empathy. Krista asked very personal and invasive questions, which I expected--but the way she asked them felt abrupt, harsh, and without any compassion. The interaction became so overwhelming that I started crying during the appointment. Instead of responding with any concern or basic human decency, she said: "What are you getting so upset over, why are you crying?" That response alone was shocking and made an already vulnerable situation feel humiliating. She should be terminated based off of this alone. At the end of the appointment, Krista told me she would not prescribe or adjust any of my medications. I then asked if she could at least continue my current prescriptions so I wouldn't miss doses, and Krista refused that as well--despite knowing these medications are essential for managing my mental health. Regarding my ADHD medication, Krista insisted I come in for a brain wave test. When I asked simple, reasonable questions--what the purpose of the test was, what it involved, and why it was necessary--she told me she didn't have any more information and that I "just needed to come in and do it." No explanation, no education, nothing. The appointment ended with no help, no prescriptions, and no clear plan. Krista told me she would follow up after speaking with a doctor. She never did. I received no call, no email, no message--nothing. Being left hanging like that, especially after she knew how important these medications are for my stability, was incredibly irresponsible and unprofessional. This experience was not just disappointing--it was genuinely distressing. No patient seeking mental health care should be treated with that level of disregard, lack of compassion, and poor communication. Krista Ribota should be terminated based on this appointment & her behavior. Please advocate for yourself if you seek care here. Based on my experience, I strongly recommend avoiding this provider. Do NOT work with Krista Ribota
