I'm so thankful this program was even open considering it was peak COVID days, and let me say: this program saved my life. Not only did it save me then, I'm in group again now that I'm an adult because I had another attempt and was hospitalized for that. It's saving me yet again. Everyone who works there is so kind and wise and really makes the lessons learned stick. Even the other attendees help me so much since I'm not alone. Finally, I just wanna say, if you put the effort in, you can change and make progress. You will get better and heal. You can't do it alone, which is why I recommend aspire 100%, but you gotta help yourself, too. :)

Most all participants are comforted by hugs and readily accept them as they need them as all humans do. Respect for their boundaries is observed. Yet , one can get removed from the program for a hug or a peck on the cheek. On top of this, the "rule" is not enforced equitably, or randomly. We are adults and can ask before we hug, and can vocalize whether or not we want one. There is no peer pressure.

If I Could Give 10 Stars and a Hug, I Would…read more Let me tell you about the absolute legend that is Dr. Bhurgri ..a.k.a. the modern, progressive psychiatrist who actually gets it. I'm not sure what kind of magic he's working, but thanks to him, I'm no longer lying in bed Googling "can a human live under a weighted blanket full-time?" and calling it a life plan. Spoiler: I feel so much better now. Like, shockingly better. When I first came to Dr. Bhurgri, I was in a very, very dark place. I had been in psychiatric care for years seen more providers than I can count and always left feeling ignored, rushed, or herded through like cattle. Cold check-ins, short appointments, and treatment plans that felt copy-pasted. Other doctors just threw different medications at me, constantly tweaking dosages or switching prescriptions, while completely ignoring the fact that I was experiencing terrible side effects , even when I said they were just as debilitating as what we were trying to treat. But my experience under Dr. Bhurgri care has been the complete opposite. From day one, he treated me with genuine kindness, respect, and compassion. He listened really listened ,and saw me as a whole person, not just a list of symptoms. He worked with me, not around me, and took the time ,years, in fact to fine-tune a treatment plan that actually works for me, not just "most people." His approach is thoughtful, modern, and collaborative -- I never feel talked down to or brushed aside. He creates a safe space where it's okay to be honest and vulnerable, and he makes the hard parts of treatment feel manageable and human. There's no ego, no rush -- just real care and the sense that he's actually in this with you. Also: TMS. I was skeptical. It sounded a little sci-fi. But it ended up being a total game-changer ,like my brain finally got a hard reset. And he guided me through it with patience and clarity every step of the way. I truly believe that between his support and the treatment itself, I was brought back to life. Now? I laugh again. I show up for my life again. I'm present. And I honestly didn't know if that would ever be possible for me again. Dr. Bhurgri ,you've had a profound impact on my well-being, and I'll never be able to thank you enough. You've gone above and beyond, consistently and sincerely, and your work has truly changed my life. To anyone considering making that first appointment: do it. Your future self will want to send you a thank-you card -- and maybe Dr. bhurgri too (but we'll keep it professional) TL;DR: I've seen enough bad psychiatrists to know a good one when I find him. Dr. Burguhri is it. If your brain is being rude and uncooperative, go see this man. He's like emotional tech support with actual warmth and the patience of a saintp

I have written several not-so-favorable review/s of my personal experiences with medical…read morefacilities/offices in the past. But NOT this time. Oh no. NOT. On several occasions, I missed appointments purely unintentionally, at this office. "My bad" - without question or excuse. So, my conscience being my guide, led me to go to Dr. Duggal's office to hopefully explain the extenuating circumstances regarding these missed appointments. I was very hesitant, thinking that I might be kicked out of her practice! And rightfully so - if that were the case...but it was NOT. I was permitted to speak to Dr. Duggal's Office Manager, "Summer." She allowed me entrance in to her office, quietly closing the door, and I began by apologizing profusely saying that in no way do I ever want to miss an appointment because that would have been someone else's spot. "Summer" listened intently to the extenuating circumstances I shared, explaining that I was not there to tell her my life's problems, but that these truly were the prevailing circumstances. With aplomb, she sat quietly and with an open mind, allowing me space to share this unfortunate life circumstance that is prevailing, continued listening. I was so overwhelmed by her professionalism, kindness and caring that at one point I became a tad weepy. In her kindness, she offered me a tissue. Where on this planet would any patient be afforded the opportunity and TIME to be heard? WHERE? No where that I know of...no where. I will never forget this as long as I live. This office is a gift to the medical profession in this town, and Dr. Duggal's entire staff is as well. Always welcoming patients with tender smiles, kind nods, and lending ears. Such an example to other medical offices here...I absolutely cannot THANK Dr. Duggal's office staff enough, and in particular, "Summer" for who she is...a true, caring professional in the medical field. I like to think of YELP reviews as presenting experiences that lend themselves to the readers' own mind of discerning the "right" or "wrong" of a situation. Often times readers "get their panties in a wad" over an experience that is not shed in good light. Why? Let's all seek to be the SOLUTION to a problem or "one-off" experience that is not good...instead of crucifying the reviewer for sharing a problem - further demonstrating the truth of the review and of their inability to accept constructive criticism.

I explained to her that I never got the link for my appointment and no one was at the office to correct the issue of the missing link. She was still angry at me for something that I had no control over. The link finally showed up about 20 minutes after I had spoke with her. Not a very good way to keep a client.

My experience with this business was wonderful until Carmen Fischer walked in the door of the exam…read moreroom. Just as she was entering she was adjusting her facemask to cover her face almost entirely..which was okay I guess..Upon her taking her seat i could cut the tension in the air- this was going to be a diabolical appointment. For years I had been prescribed 1 mg of lorazepam, 1mg daily. She saw this in my chart and took the opportunity to lecture me about the hazards of pain medication and benzos as if I were a strung out drug seeker..I assured her my doctor was informed and many times did not need to take the dose daily- she immediately perked up and stated "well it better be in your system then we're about to find out" (um, where else ma'am) at this time she noticed my purse buzzing, got extremely wide eyed and wouldn't hear of the fact that it was indeed, my phone vibrating in my purse. All phones were supposed to be off. Once she got through with THAT lecture too she ordered a X-ray of my NECK (for pain associated with my rotator cuff and lower back) further labs, and reminded me not to forget my urine test on the way out. Honestly never had such a poor doctor ever. Ms Fischer might be going through something we know nothing of, so I tried to be kind. But this is my health, and if I can save another the exasperation of the merry-go-round this woman obviously likes to put her patients thru I've helped! I voiced my concerns over EVERYTHING upon leaving, even with the nurse upon leaving the exam room, they all know Ms Fischer's temper and lack of bedside manner well. All they can do is offer the services of another doctor in clinic.
