Alpha Psychiatric Associates

“I have read lots of bad reviews here and feel like I should speak to at least make sure folks know about Mary Spencer. She has been my clinician for 20 years and I have followed her to every practice. She is kind, knowledgeable, and always gives me helpful strategies for my OCD. She is wonderful and I want to make sure everyone knows that!!!”

“It was only after jumping through all of the usual hoops to see a new provider that they informed me that ackshually this clinician isn't licensed to treat people with my insurance. "Oh, interesting...I'll pay out of pocket then" "...unfortunately we can be fined for that."”

“When Dr. Miah was with the clinic, I absolutely hated coming and making appointments, but my insurance left me with limited places to go. She was rude, condescending, and cut me off every time I tried to speak. She never took my concerns seriously. HOWEVER. DR. MIAH IS GONE! (thank goodness) and Dr. Ada has been absolutely wonderful! She always seems invested in your life and how you are doing. I no longer get anxiety any time I have to make an appointment to get my medication refilled. It's a nice change and I think the right one to turn things around here. Give Dr. Ada a chance.”

“Their office staff needs some serious training. I wasn’t being confrontational at all and was talking calmly to Kim Harris explaining that I needed to cancel the future appointment I had, and she hung up on me immediately without letting me finish what I was saying and why I needed to cancel the appointment. I can understand if someone is being confrontational, but that wasn’t even the case, there was absolutely no reason for her behavior. So it did catch me off guard, because my previous interactions were good with the clinic. I saw Dr. Rohima and I tried to explain to her that I am struggling with finances right now and that I can’t schedule appointments back to back to back. To me, it did not seem like she listened at all and invalidated everything I said. She seemed very condescending. She also seemed like she had a total lack of empathy, and seemed very uncaring. When I told her that I could not afford all of the appointments, she just stated “I think you can”, and went on to have another appointment scheduled right away with barely time in between. She did not work with me either about prescribing me a cheaper medication after I called the clinic to tell them I could not afford it and asked if I could be prescribed something cheaper. She prescribed a new medication that just hit the market, so it is expensive as hell. I ended up hospitalized and almost died from a suicide attempt after leaving this clinic and trying to call them at the pharmacy. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone and I will be searching for a clinic that hires caring professionals. I am updating my review. I just received a bill but it’s late because they incorrectly put my address down in their system. I saved all paperwork I filled out and I entered everything correctly. This is a piss poor excuse of a clinic. They operate like a community mental health clinic. Bare minimum, no effort with patients, incorrect data entry, and unprofessional employees. I would recommend finding a psychiatrist elsewhere. Best Day Psychiatry and Counseling PC is a very good clinic. I would recommend going there for psychiatric services.”
