If I could give a -5 stars I would. Don't bother going here. At best you will be shuffled around doctor to doctor getting substandard care because all they have are interim docs- they can't manage to keep a full-time doctor. I have been a patient for around 9 months and I have seen four doctors already, and my last one just left. The one full time guy they have, Dr. Fard, is SO BAD. My appointment with him was so bad I left there feeling like I was never going to get help and there was no hope for me. It was a very serious and sad situation. He listened to 1/10th of my story then claimed my diagnoses were wrong (mind you, 3 psychiatrists have agreed on them), that my medications were useless, that I needed to stop taking half of my medications, and gave me a really weird and unnecessary semantics lesson about mental illness terms (meanwhile I am wrecked from being invalidated and confused). He (and my husband was there and can confirm) proceeded to tell me that bipolar treatment is one-size-fits-all and that I really shouldn't need any maintenance or med adjustments after he "fixed" my meds. If you know anything about bipolar disorder you know it has many facets and often changes throughout a lifetime. My experience was horrifying and painful. PLEASE do not subject yourself to that.
