Neurobehavioral Medicine Consultants

I was referred here by my therapist after I completed an Intensive Out Patient program and in my honest opinion their incompetence borders on negligence and malpractice. I was told after establishing care that they didn't want to make any changes to my medications until I spoke with Dr. Ali, which WOULD be reasonable if he could keep an appointment. It took me two months to actually talk to Dr. Ali. I made an in person appointment with him and he didn't show up for an hour and a half and at the hour and half point I was told they didn't know if or when he was planning to come in. After that I suggested we do a telephone appointment since it seemed difficult for him to keep in person appointments and I don't even know how many times, at least 6 or 7 times, I made an appointment to talk with him over the telephone and he did not call at the scheduled time. Typically he would call 5-6 hours later if at all. In that 2 month period NO progress was made on my medications and I felt like my mental state got worse from going to an Out Patient Program where I was seeing a psychiatrist weekly to inconsistent appointments and constant back and forth just to be stood up over and over and over again. When I finally spoke to Dr. Ali we spoke on the phone for about an hour and some change and I was shocked. I have been diagnosed with C-PTSD and I feel like that barely came up in our conversation. He told me he believed I fell on the Bipolar spectrum, which I don't feel is accurate at all and looking through these other reviews it appears that they are quick to diagnose people with Bipolar, and that the meds that I was given in my out patient program were making me worse. Prior to my program I was having memory nightmares and panic attacks every night and after starting them I was able to sleep and only occasionally have a panic attack. These meds saved my life and he told me they were making me worse and to stop them cold turkey. I want to caveat that the receptionists and LPN's here are very hardworking, communicative, and lovely but under Dr. Ali's stewardship that gets wiped away. And if any of them are reading this I want to urge you to seek employment elsewhere. I was initially not going to leave a review and was just going to change practices but when I thought about how much I've struggled with my mental health, passive death wish, suicide ideation and how my mental health did and could've potentially gotten much worse by continuing to seek help here I felt I had a duty to warn others. If you are struggling with your mental health and it has gotten to the point where it is preventing you from functioning normally DO NOT GO HERE. Seek services from literally anyone else.

This rehab saved my life its a great program the people who work there really care about us as humans but as it is said the program works if you put the work in without this place I would be dead I wouldn't choose another place I give this place 100 stars if I could

I’ve only had one appointment so far, but I found the receptionist and the nurse practitioner extremely friendly and helpful! The nurse practitioner took a lot of time to really get to know me, and had some very good advice about my medications. Very little wait time also.

Now that I’ve read other people’s reviews, I’m going somewhere else to get another opinion for a diagnosis. I don’t think it was fair to be asked everything I was diagnosed with and what one I disagreed with. I feel like this influenced the person to say bipolar II. I have tried those meds before due to a psych ward stay where they talked to me for 15 minutes and slapped that on me. I’ll be going somewhere else and hope that someone actually listens to me for once and actually knows about ADHD in women. I’m not even saying it is that, but I really do not believe I have bipolar. The place was an old building on top of everything. I don’t trust these people. I’ll be canceling my psychiatry appointment. Oh, I also went in for an ADHD assessment and that’s not what happened either. Disappointing.

Wouldn't recommend the doc calls you when he feels like it am switching providers first thing

I would avoid this place at all costs. I scheduled an appointment for adhd treatment. The doctor ran through my whole previous history of things. Asked several clarifying questions about my past. They asked very few questions about my present mindset or issues. After hearing things from 20 years ago they decided I needed abilify first before anything else. Knowing rhe side effects of abilify it would only I crease my symptoms not help them. The building is absolutely disgusting. I would rate 0 foe this place if I could. They so t actually listen to what you day. Thankfully I have received help for my mental health in the past I and was able to make and educated decision on rather or not they were following a valid treatment plan. Find another place don't risk your mental health to this hack job.

Would give 0 stars if I could. I made it aware that I had never been to therapy or a psychiatrist before and, before the doctor even made an effort to hear or understand anything about my issues (10 minutes into the first visit), I was prescribed a bipolar medicine. I was already hyper aware of their “treatment” failures as these reviews pretty plainly state all the issues with this facility, but I was desperate. I started taking the meds and it quickly was apparent it was not working. I called back with my concerns and the doctor upped my dose of that medicine. I was walking around like a zombie, not sleeping and felt like I was in a haze. I called BACK to let her know and she suggested upping my dose again. I immediately denied and stopped any further communication with them. They are not interested in actually helping people. This facility seems to push for bipolar diagnoses, not even “entertaining” anything else. Not to mention the staff are so unbelievably rude, it doesn’t feel like a safe space at all. You feel like a burden the entire time. Please do not go to this facility. It has hindered a lot of progress for me because I felt so defeated for so long after.
