Recently moved to the area and called to establish as a new patient for continuity of care. Over the phone they said they only do walk-ins for new adult patients. Weird, but OK whatever. Then they said they require me to go through testing and diagnosis even though I’ve already been diagnosed and been under care of my current doctor for several years. These are huge red flags. Avoid this place or any place that operates in this way.

Impossible to get an appointment with. booked for weeks out. I call, get directed to the correct place, then it goes to voicemail nearly every time. Then no one calls me back, ever. it has been MONTHS since i’ve been able to get an appointment. The person who manages my medication and the nurse and receptionists are always helpful, but that’s where the help seems to end.The very few times people have answered i’ve been told “call back at a later date we’re currently full” (i have been told th...

I was always intimidated to go here or any counseling period. I showed up on an emergency type situation without going into details. I showed up as a walk in early in the morning went through the process and was told I would have an appt in two weeks. The young lady at the desk seemed quite concerned when I asked if there was anyone I could talk to or a crisis number she immediately got me with a gentleman that talked to me and got me into a safe secure place where I couldn’t harm myself. I w...

As if getting help isn’t already difficult, WACGC has made it nearly impossible to be treated or even schedule an appointment. I’ve continually left voicemails and calls that go unanswered for weeks at a time. The one time I have an appointment, it was confirmed I would see my provider face to face as requested and not through telehealth. Instead, they had me show up in a dingy room and log on to their computer to speak with my provider through a webcam while she sat in her car… I had ran out...

DO NOT do business here. If you are wanting help, go somewhere else. This place is awful at taking phone calls and you can’t ever get a hold of them. I’ve been trying to get help with my issues for DAYS and when I get transferred to the department I need to get ahold of, it goes straight to voicemail. The receptionist were helpful in getting me to the right place and understanding my urgency and gave me a time to call back and I still cannot get a hold of them. The ONE time I got in contact w...

If you are experiencing PTSD ask to see David as your therapist. He specializes in EMDR. I only wish I was introduced to David much earlier after my traumatic forever life changing event occurred. Every day can be a challenge, but through techniques taught by David along with EMDR therapy each day becomes more manageable through David’s specialized technology of EMDR. He has great listening skills. I’ve worked with previous therapist throughout the years and I swear, I would listen to them ta...

Not all are bad here But adults be careful of being proscribied medications because they will not validate adults before proscribing it. If you go manic then it's your fault for taking it as proscribied from them. They are not at fault because it's your job to validate yourself and know if the medicine is going to make you go stupid, ect. Some of them don't pay attention to you because their in other people's carts or they take a call in the middle of your appointment and someone else's iss...
