Alta View Ctr For Counseling

The office staff were always friendly and smiling whenever I came in for my appointments. I really didn't have any problems. I liked the environment. The only drawback on this was I felt as though the psychiatrist I was seeing seemed to always be in a rush and not really listening, but then I think I came to realize that he was only my Medications Manager...that made a huge difference in understanding the difference between someone managing your medication and someone who actually sits and listens to your mental health issues. Pros: Accommodating Cons: Hated the feeling of being ""rushed"" with the psychiatrist more

Although I will never return, I am giving them a two because the psychiatrist I worked with was a very nice person and very capable of listening. However, my symptoms had been under control for nearly four years, and after very slight changes in the regimen, they no longer were. It took over two weeks before they responded to my inquiries and I got a response from the doctor that basically came down to ""deal with it."" It simply is not acceptable for a physician of any kind to be unresponsive to a patient who tells him that his symptoms are not under control. This also came on the heals of nearly three weeks of getting the runaround from his office. If you are on a plan that sends you to IHC providers, I would highly recommend finding an office that is responsive to your needs. Pros: Easier to get an appointment than most IHC mental health providers Cons: Uncompassionate and unresponsive staff more
