Scott Fish was my therapist for approximately seven months. I've had therapists on and off…read morethroughout my life. And without a doubt, my overall experience with Scott Fish was the most disappointing, the most souring I've ever had with a therapist. It wasn't until months into our professional relationship that I finally caught onto Scott's true agenda. Let's just say I, the client, was never the number one priority when it came to my own therapy with Scott Fish. It truly blows my mind that there are people in this world who'll justify their actions and abuse their position of power to get what they want, however they can get it and betray a client's trust/confidence in the most abhorrent, despicable manner imaginable. And at the end of the day they're still able to look themselves in the mirror, pat themselves on the back and tell themselves, "What I did was not out of malicious intent!!!" It would seem unfair that I'm leaving a one star review for an entire establishment such as Hope and Healing Counseling Services, due to my experience with one therapist, but I stand behind my rating. This is because I reached out to Scott Fish's manager Vanessa and asked to speak to the owner about my grievances with Scott Fish. I was basically brushed off. I made it crystal clear I wanted to speak to the owner Ramon Hernandez. It's been months. Ramon never contacted me. What Scott Fish did with me has got to be the most damaging thing I've experienced in decades at the hands of a clinician, or anyone for that matter. It has significantly impacted my ability to trust in others. When I finally confronted Scott Fish about what he did, he snapped back real quick and said, "Well....! I didn't record anything...!!!" with a big shiteating grin on his face. All I can say to that is, when Scott Fish's same laptop he had open and active during every session, a "record" button doesn't need to be on in order for information during a confidential therapy session to be accessed by another entity. And curiously, he switched out his laptop to a different one when I confronted him again for our final session on December 2nd. I filed a formal complaint against him through his licensing board (Board of Behavioral Sciences).

Calling to cancel my future appointments due to death in family and switching to a counselor closer…read moreto home. The receptionist first takes all my details asking me to spell my name and provide my birthdate. That should be sufficient, right? Then, after a wait, she says she is transferring me to the scheduling person, so I wait. When this scheduling person answers, she AGAIN takes my name with spelling and my birthdate, says "please wait," and I find myself on hold again. Then it appears she has transferred me to a third person to handle what should have been a simple task by the FIRST individual. This person doesn't know why I'm calling, hasn't been briefed and starts querying me as to whom I already talked with!!! I was so angry that, while dealing with this recent death and all other matters, they made me play phone tag in trying to get me to someone who could simply cancel all my appointments. Will definitely tell Desert Oasis Healthcare that THIS is not a healthy provider to have as part of their behavioral therapy, since I do remember now it took them almost a month to get back to me initially to schedule my FIRST appointment. What a circus!!

My experience with Dr. Dimple was extremely disappointing. I found her to be unprofessional and…read morerude. Every time I tried to explain what was going on with my health, I felt like I was interrupted and not allowed to finish. I left feeling unheard and dismissed. She had no bedside manner at all. I did not feel respected, cared for, or treated with compassion. Instead, I felt like my concerns were brushed aside and not taken seriously. I also had a negative experience with the office staff, who came across as just as dismissive. I felt that because I am younger, my concerns were not taken as seriously as they should have been. During my visit, I noticed an odor that concerned me, which added to my discomfort. Overall, this was one of the worst healthcare experiences I've had. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this provider.

Do not waist your time. Waited two months for this appointment. The office bum bards you with…read moreunnecessary calls and emails. Especially after confirming and completing the intake forms online. Over the start of the weekend (before the date of the appointment), I received calls asking if I can move the appointment up to an earlier time. I said no I set the time for a specific reason. Today the day of the appointment, I'm 15min away and receive a call that the doctor just left and had an "family emergency." The person who called me says the doctor would can call within the hour (3-4pm). Not so much a family emergency when you can call within 30min of my original appointment time (3:30pm). I specifically asked for in person only, NOT a phone call. I find that super suspicious, it seems this doctor does not care or value her patients health/time unless you're on her time. I specifically told the lady not to charge me any cancellation fee since the doctor was the one to not be there. I can definitely see why she has a bad reviews.

I was…read morediagnosed in my 40s with ADHD and PTSD, and for years I always knew my "noggin" worked a little differently, not wrong, just different. I struggled with focus, task paralysis, and things I didn't fully understand until I finally had the right guidance. Dr. Torban has helped me better understand how my brain works, adjust my medications when needed, and navigate my mental health in a way that has truly improved my quality of life. He has also helped my family better understand and support me through the process. The entire office is wonderful as well. Claire and Ms. Christina at the front desk are absolute gems. They are always kind, helpful, patient, and welcoming. I'm very grateful for Dr. Torban and his team and would absolutely recommend his office to anyone looking for compassionate and thoughtful psychiatric care.
