Comprehensive Psychiatric Associates's Online Review Report Card

I enjoyed my physician, Dr U was wonderful. Unfortunately I have to let go of this practice due to many frustrations EVERY time i went in. Don’t waste your time, find another practice.

Terrible practice, Staff is rude and dismissive. The doctors are too busy to return calls. There is no reason anyone should attend this facility. Trueblood is an absolute joke.

I have never waited for my appointment. Care is top notch. Having had several disorders in the family, I know a good doctor when I experience it! Wouldn't go anywhere else. .

My psychiatrist is fabulous but the office and billing staff are rude and hateful. They clearly know nothing about mental health! If they did, they would treat clients better!

The doctors are great, the woman in the front ended, specifically Shonda are extremely rude, they last empathy, and will make you feel less than human. She has changed the rules in me countless of times and has actually hung up on me after I asked for a moment to look at my calendar. Shonda is terrible

I saw Dr. Barash for many years and he is unsympathetic, curt, and downright cruel. Will overmedicate you and then take you off medicine so you go into withdrawal. If you have any problems he makes you feel like it is your fault. When I used to see him in the office, he was sometimes two hours late and spent all of five minutes with me. I waited a long time to write my review because I really wanted to think about what I wanted to say. The man shouldn’t be practicing, he does way more harm than he does good.

I see Dr. Karim. I have for a few years now, and I really like him. I do not feel rushed when I see him, and I feel that when I have concerns or questions, that he takes the time to answer them fully. The issues I have are more in regard to attempting to contact the practice by telephone. It can be tough especially during early morning or other peak phone times. While their website has good information on it, I wish they would incorporate some sort of portal, to handle the more routine non-emergency requests between the patient and provider.

Started seeing Karim around the beginning of the year as I had for many years being getting medicine through extended family from Mexico (since it was much, much cheaper, and the psychiatrist I original saw to get diagnosed and prescribed was CRONICALLY late constantly.) Anyways, unfortunately, that avenue closed, and I was starting to run low. The only provider I could find that was both covered by my insurance and taking new patients (or even bothered to be reachable) was this place. Unfortunately, the few times I've gone thus far haven't left me very impressed. I've tried to bring up a couple things, but he's come across as rather dismissive. I had hoped to finally get some therapy going so I can deal w/ my trauma, but he seems to be only interested in refilling my medications. I'd mention this to him, but considering my medications are for anxiety... (The meds make it so I can generally function w/o crippling anxiety, but they don't eliminate it entirely.)

My doctor recommended this office to me. I have been trying for days to set up an appointment. If you're a new patient you sit on hold for over 4 minutes and then get a recording asking to leave your info. Still waiting for someone to call me back.

Friendly receptionist. Easy to talk to with good recommendations for medications and other specialists.
