I got an appointment with a long delay and I had run out of my meds and dangerous went cold Turkey which was dangerous by all acounts . imagine my shock when after waiting , many weeks and going really bad without meds, his office called - an hour ahead ! and told me my appointment was v canceled and I was banned from the practice. then the person o. the phone said I was banned from the entire v clinic, with no justification except I expressed by dismay perhaps when he effectively abandoned me. they his representative told me my wife, who had had no conflict with polo, was also forever banned from the entire clinic. he is a cruel and vindictive man who put me at risk again, because I hat to go another month before getting the psych meds I needed from a zoom visit to an our of state Dr on sn emergency basis. he seems friendly at first but he's really smarmy and dangerous and stabbed us on the back for nothing.

No rushing you in and handing out a Rx and shoving you out the door. His office and his demeanor is a very zen vibe. He's highly skilled and articulate about your mental care journey. I can't imagine what could would make a person write him a bad review. Some people just need somebody to blame for their mental illness because they are unable to take professional advice. I was referred to him by a trusted psychologist and gave referred many others to him. Everybody I've referred have been so relieved to have finally found a psychiatrist that is more than just a pharmacologist. He is truly one of a kind in his field. 10 stars

Please do not schedule an appointment with this women, and please read the reviews which are…read morehidden. She is the most rigid, uncaring "professional" I have ever interacted with. She cares nothing about helping people except enforcing her 72 hour cancellation policy and blabbing about how she "wrote a book". When I tried to explain to her that I have a chronic pain issue and have a very difficult time traveling, she couldn't care less and was extremely condescending. It was honestly the most upsetting experience interacting with her on the telephone, and I can't even imagine going to her for any sort of assistance during a difficult time. Please stay away from her. In response to Rachel: I didn't FAIL to show up. I called with three days notice and CANCELLED the appointment. You refused to let me cancel and stated you were a professional and were going to be paid for your time. Saying I did not show up on your billing statement is a LIE. With the help of the Grieving and Counseling Services of Santa Barbara Hospice, I have reported your unethical billing practices to the Behavioral Sciences Board of California. I can only hope the other "disgruntled" persons do the same. ****For the "disgruntled" individuals, here is the link to report Rachel Aarons. https://www.breeze.ca.gov/datamart/loginCADCA.do;jsessionid=47076E95B7BA00B45535EF60592598C2.vo7 Scroll to California Board of Behavioral Health Sciences, then scroll to Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Then write your complaint The website will time-out without warning, so write your complaint up in a program and copy and paste it into the window. It is a fairly easy process, and I highly recommend you do this instead of being extorted to pay for services you cancelled/didn't receive.
