“If I could leave 0 stars, I would. Do not use this Psychiatrist. They make us drive all the way to the office, make us wait 45+ minutes past our scheduled appointment... ONLY TO TALK TO A COMPUTER SCREEN. The doctor is either, not in the building, or genuinely cares so little about his clients, that he doesn't even bother to see them in person. We had to walk out of our scheduled appointment without being seen, because we had other engagements for the day. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere”

“My doctor retired and the doctor(thuppal) who over prescribed me trazadone (a sleeping medication) when I was a kid was telling me the most rude comments about Dr lecesa, I have been going here for 14 years. I switched doctors due to my past as a kid and him not listening to me, I found Lecesa to be a caring, understanding and knowledgeable person, he would genuinely talk to his clients. After Dr lecesa had just changed my medication three months prior to him leaving, which I found it to be helpful given my diagnosis and mindset, Dr thuppal was trying to cancel my appointment but I needed to see him for refill… I left work early and flew to the last appointment he had cause I cried and I was about to send myself to the hospital so “he squeezed me in”.. he didn’t even ask me ONE question before trying to switch all of my medication around. This is dangerously bad practice. I now have been fighting for three months to find a new doctor and can’t. So I’m hoping I don’t end up in a hospital. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone anymore and his comments about Dr lecesa … giving me his information of where he moved jobs too seems a bit illegal ? I don’t even trust them with my records at this point since that. So take this information as you please, a warning.”

“This saddens me because I was a patient there for several years. When they lost my psychiatrist, Dr. Lesaca, the level of care plummeted. This is what happened to me. It's a little embarrassing but I need to let it be known. The nurse practitioner, Deb, changed my medication and when I had seriously bad side effects (numb in the face, dizzy, nauseous, anxious and having intrusive thoughts) I called worried. I was told she'd call me back, days went by and she didn't. I had to call again because it got so bad I wanted to end it all which I expressed to the secretary. I was brushed off. They told me she'd call me back, again, she didn't. I ended up in the hospital because of this. I asked while I was in the hospital if I could see a different provider and because of this they discharged me while I was in the hospital without my knowledge. I showed up for my next appointment and they told me I didn't have one. While I was in the office, the women in the office were talking about my personal business with each other and loud enough for people in the waiting room to hear. I couldn't believe it. When I asked to speak to a higher up, they gave me a wrong number. At this point, I'd suggest you try anywhere before here. They lack compassion and your information isn't safe there. If this review helps one person from going through this, it was worth it.”

“I highly recommend Dr. Lesaca five out five start rating! One of my children has been a patient of his for almost 10 years. He is very patient, kind and considerate. Dr. Lesaca, unlike most doctors, takes the time to actually listen to the medical issue. He then follows through with an accurate treatment plan and continued genuine care.”
