Comprehensive Psychiatric Associates, LLC

I was forced to switch psychiatrists because my psychiatrist that I had seen for YEARS moved out of the state. The psychiatrist I was switched to, Maureen Anderson, was awful. She didn’t listen to ANYTHING I had to say, she interrupted me plenty of times, she was insensitive to my issues, and she sat behind her computer typing for 3 minutes straight before speaking to me again. She had no suggestions to offer me regarding my weight gain due to one of my medications, and she basically told me to suck it up and deal with it. I had my grandmother come with me to one of our appointments just to show her how awful she was, and my grandmother sees the best in everyone so she didn’t believe me. Needless to say, we walked out of that appointment and my grandma agreed with me and said I should switch. I have since switched to Dr. Brian Barash, and I am extremely happy with him. He actually listens to and takes action on any problems that I need to be addressed! So 5 stars for Barash, 0 for Anderson.

I think it’s important to remember that the most important things to review here are the DOCTORS. I've been coming here for years and yes, the waiting room is not the best but it's only a bit dull, not the terrible experience people are saying. The phone system has improved a lot recently as well, and I wouldn’t have given this practice five stars if it hadn’t. The doctors are great and the bad reviews about one in particular are only people who dislike his particular style of treatment, which is simply not for everyone but not lacking in professionalism, knowledge, or thoroughness. Don't let the low stars dissuade you.

Disappointed: I saw the Psych Nurse Practitioner twice. My first appointment she was 30 minutes late and my second she was 45 minutes late. Neither time did she address the late start to appointments. In my second appointment, I tried to bring up a subject sensitive to my diagnosis; she interrupted me and went on a personal rant for a couple minutes. I don't wish to pay for a service where my time is not respected nor are my thoughts about my mental health. When I brought up the lateness with the nurse practitioner and the office manager, they both responded with "its not our fault". I suggested that perhaps they could help set expectations with patients by letting them know if someone is running late or that they may need to schedule more time for the appointments due to the nature of the service. The office manager stated, "this is psychiatry". I ended the conversation there as I don't think this business respects their patients, their time, or their thoughts related to their treatment. If you choose to pay for services here, you may want to keep expectations that this will take longer than scheduled time, you will be expected to pay for that time, and your thoughts on the matter are not valid.

Our doctor has never, ever, been less than 30 minute behind schedule. Frankly, I'm fed up with the wait and will be looking for service elsewhere.

Always helped me as much as possible. Doctors like to get to know their patients on a personal level which is very comforting. would recomend.
