I've struggled with mental health since I was 9 years old, and joined this program for the PHP…read moreprogram after being at BBHH in the psychiatric teens ward 2 days after I turned 13. 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. :)

The experience of the current director is not sound. ASB claims to foster an intimate and…read morecompassionate environment, yet hugs are prohibited. 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.

My 5 stars are for this amazing man. It is so, so, so sad to hear Dr. Mendoza passed away. He was…read morean amazing doctor and an even greater person. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He has helped me for over 20 years and I am forever grateful for his care and friendship. I saw him just a couple months ago and his sense of humor always made his visits great. He certainly has his angel's wings. Prayers for his family and his amazing wonderful assistant Christine.

She continuously tries to prescribe medication ,every single month ,that has a known cause for tartive dyskinesia, who wants to experience uncontrollable movements due to their mental health medication, and this tardive dyskinesia is irreversible. however, she still continues to prescribe these things for me.recently she told me she was going to start a forced taper on a medication that I have been taking for years that I have not had any problems with, when I contacted Samantha Gort regarding this. She told me that my psychiatrist did not put this in my chart,that is a no-no,that needs to be charted when you tell your patient you are going to force taper them ,on top of that Samantha made judgment calls about me without even knowing me or my situation. I am going to see a different provider with the organization, but I am very unhappy with the way I have been treated and have lost trust in them. I will update as my treatment continues until I decide not to go there anymore which I have a feeling is where this is going. Update: I just had my appointment with my new psychiatrist and what a world of difference. I feel so relieved and I feel like I finally found someone who cares about people and not just money. He actually spent 10 minutes with me which is much better than what the previous provider did he also assured me that decisions about medication whether it be tapered discontinued or changed would be a decision made between the two of us, which is the opposite of what the previous providers said she was trying to force taper me, if you have to go to psychiatric wellness ask for Jacob Rosales he is the best. I'm changing my rating to five stars because of him.

Note that they don't have immediate appointments, most are two weeks out. Which was a bummer. The lobby wasn't the most luxurious or clean, but I didn't have to wait much longer than 10 minutes so I was fine. I ended up seeing a Nurse Practitioner, which was sort of a bummer too, but she was nice and thorough. In the end none of my medication changed. I do feel like she could have suggested more options. For now it's just fine.

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 have Addison's disease and was told this is the best endocrine center in town. Unfortunately, my experience did not reflect that reputation. I had a scheduled appointment canceled after I arrived because lab work had not been done--lab work that was never ordered or communicated to me in advance. Between January 20-23, I called the office repeatedly trying to obtain a doctor's note to return to work and guidance on emergency injection protocols. I was placed on hold, disconnected, or unable to get help multiple times. I have call logs documenting these attempts. For patients with adrenal insufficiency, timely communication is not optional--it is a safety issue. The lack of responsiveness and administrative coordination was deeply concerning. I hope this office reviews its processes, because patients with complex endocrine conditions deserve far better.

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.

When she left the room she didn't explain anything to me she just blurted out that the drug test better not show drugs or alcohol and walked out. I had just told her everything I had been taking and I would stop everything to get help. I called the office to find out what I was supposed do next and I told them how she treated me, they told me that she can be difficult. They charged me to a different Dr. if you need help she is not the person to go to!!!!
