Psychiatric Wellness Center Reviews ( 127 )

  1. I had to wait an entire month for my appointment only to find out that it was canceled when I showed up for my session. I got no notification at all about this! Awful!

  2. I really wish I would have taken the advice of the others on here. They are not only hard to get ahold of, but don’t really seem to put any effort into their patients. If you or your loved one really needs help please look elsewhere.

  3. You guys have helped me with my depression and mental problems for many many many years now I’m finally on the right track thank you thank you and I will see you at my next appointment

  4. I was referred here after my previous psychiatrist left the network covered by my insurance. I like this one much better. “Less ostentatious; more about the patient.

  5. I have been with the wellness center for many years and have always been treated with the upmost understanding and respect I plan to be a patient for many years to come..JOSE..

  6. Dr. Doddakashi was lackadaisical at best. Had no problem cancelling appointments at a whim with no explanation. Staff is rude and lies about leaving messages about cancelling. Wait time is ridiculous.

  7. I’ve been attempting to make an appointment for the last three days and there is either no answer or I’ve been told to call back. I am going to have to take the inconvenience to go in person to schedule and appointment. It’s very …

  8. Terrible! Staff never returned my calls. Had to complain on the website to get any communication. They cancelled my daughters appointment without calling andd no one in the iffuce can reschedule you. STAY AWAY IF YOU ARE TRULY IN NEED OF HELP AND SUPPORT!!!!

  9. This place has been so great to me, I’ve been coming here for 2-3 yrs. Dr Song really does take the time to make sure I’m mentally okay and does listen to what I have to say.

  10. I am very pleased with the center’s Doctors and how they are professional and quick with what I need when I need it. I liked the way our appointments are during the pandemic.

  11. Very helpful and supportive, had ups and downs with this place but overall very positive. Recently have been getting better and faster service. Enjoy the quick in and out. …

  12. Office is comforting along with all the people I’ve met. Dr. Shafer is very attentive and put together a plan for my wellbeing. There are plenty of resources here to get yourself started.

  13. Dr. Bhugiri, new to the PWC in September I think, is the best doctor I’ve ever had in my life. He changed my life, helped give me the tools to change my life, and I’m forever grateful for being his patient. …

  14. Very helpful and kind staff! I LOVE Dr. Song, he has helped me immensely in my journey to feeling better and now I am confident that I can achieve a level of physical and mental health that I previously knew.

  15. Dr. Malik is the best! He is so kind and takes time to meet with you and help you with your needs. I’m so glad he is my doctor. Thank you Dr. Malik!

  16. I would like to first say that this is the first review I have EVER done. This is the worst facility/business I have ever encountered. I will say the doctor herself that I saw their was actually very professional and I did like her. On the …

  17. If I could give this place 0 stars I would but I do recommend you steer clear of this place. My partner went here for over a year and was diagnosed with MDD and Anxiety. Was on at least 7 medications before he left this place. Nothing was …

  18. Very nice front desk staff. A mistake was made with my last lab test and they made sure that I was able to come back in for a redo on my schedule.Suzie Keller very nice and easy to work with. Rx’s are refilled with the pharmacy in a timely manner.

  19. Dr. Shafer is a perfect example of what I want to experience when interacting with a doctor..
    He listens and asks questions to hear my concerns, then presents a plan while …

  20. I highly recommend them . Dr . Fernando is very caring and he asks the right questions. You really feel you can tell him anything. The staff is very help especially the nurses. Anytime the pharmacy gets it wrong the staff is quick to correct it and calls you to let you know . They have truly helped me a lot .

  21. The billing department here is awful. On my son’s last visit, I called and told them our insurance had expired and we would be paying cash. When I got here, I gave them the $100 cash payment they required and again stressed our insurance …

  22. I called the Psychiatric Wellness Center on my own. My counselor suggested getting some extra help for my mental illness. I was so glad I called! I got setup with Dr. Karamat and she has helped me tremendously. I was diagnosed with two …

  23. I am very glad I met the people at PWC. They encourage me to take my meds and follow doctors order
    I have come a long way through the Therapy I have been receiving and I hope others in my situation do too.

  24. Love my doctor here, but some trouble with some of the office staff. Overall my experience has been almost five stars. I highly recommend Dr. Fernando there!

  25. I wish that Psychatric wellness center would bill me at the time of the appointment it seems like the last 2 times I have arrived for an appointment I wasn’t sent a bill until a month later. I have been seeing Joan and for the most part the …

  26. Dr Susie Keller is the best she listens to you and works with what you explain and she’s always open to try something else just to see. She’s been helping for 6 plus years and I respect and value her help with our autistic grandson that we …

  27. Dr. Bhugiri is amazing. He’s by far the best psychiatrist I have ever seen. He’s so patient and understanding. He takes his time to explain things and really makes you feel like you have some control and say in regards to your treatment. He …

  28. We have always had a wonderful experience and this new doctor was very unprofessional. She had her head in her hand, rolling her eyes, and taking deep breaths while she was listening to my husband (while he was sobbing) like she was board or bothered. Not a good experience for someone who has high anxiety!

  29. The staff at the psychiatric wellness center are caring, friendly, and professional. When I was at my lowest, they were pivotal in helping me to overcome the problems I was having and I am grateful to them for all of their support. I would recommend them to anyone looking for emotional and cognitive wellness.

  30. You have an incredible organization. Rose at the front desk is incredible. Rosemary who I have been talking to lately is very good. Doctor Fernando and doctor mazzulla are great people that you can tell they really care. Steve Phillips

  31. It was hard to arrange an appointment for months on end, and there was a lot of paperwork. They are good about cancelling, and rescheduling 24 hours ahead of time though. The receptionists are capable, and informative, too. When I finally saw a psychiatrist, she was very through with her work, kind, and considerate.

  32. Doctor Fernando is amazing! He was extremely kind, understanding, and left me feeling like he really listened to me and cared about my individual situation. After seeing him I have been on a regimen that has changed my life, and I’m very …

  33. Making an appointment here is a waste of time. Waiting a month for an appointment as a new patient was ok with me and the implementation of telehealth office “visits” does seem like a safe way to “see” your doctor BUT there is a good chance …

  34. I love Psychiatric Wellness Center. The staff is friendly and helpful! They get you scheduled as quickly as possible. They send you reminders through text and have video sessions which is convenient for me. I really enjoy going here.

  35. I have been going to Psychiatric Wellness Center on and off for the last 10 years. They take care of me and my health conditions very well. I have been stable without any huge issues for years due to their knowledge of proper medication. …

  36. I found this place to be very instrumental in the recovery stages of grief, to me, mental health is so fragile, and extremely temperamental, in my case it’s a pendulum that always swings one-sided, I just never know in advance which side. …

  37. Dr. Song showed up for the tele health appointment even when he was very very sick. Very impressed with this doctors dedication, just thought it should be noted. The staff is friendly too 🙂

  38. Quick to respond and very helpful with setting you up to join their staff. To be fair I already knew the therapist but if the rest of the staff is anything like him I’d highly recommend.

  39. I am, for the most part, satisfied. There was a technical difficulty with a video appointment. I sent messages to the person I was supposed to be talking to during this time, advising them I was there and asking if they were there. …

  40. I am always treated with kindness Susie is so caring patient and kind I have been with psychiatric wellness center for almost 10 years I wouldn’t go to anyone else thank you love sonia Turman

  41. I’ve been seeing Dr. B for a while now via zoom and he’s been so helpful. The staff is also wonderful and I’ve had an overall great experience. Would highly suggest!

  42. I had an unfortunate meeting with an LVN that works there. Nurse Ratchet. How do you not follow the law at all? She told me to adjust my dosage on a medication ( make it last) until i can see a provider and no appointments are open. I wonder what would the AMA think of that? I will tell you when they get back to me.

  43. I have so many complaints with this place. First off, one of the case managers was so disrespectful, demeaning, and condescending that I no longer feel this is the right place for me. I nearly have to take anti anxiety meds just to deal …

  44. From Catatonic episodes and bipolar disorder mania, Ashhar Bhurgri helped me every step of the way in a professional treatment that has made me feel like myself again. I am off anti-psychotics and am living my life happy and healthy with his continuous support.

  45. Dr is great. Office staff is terrible. They don’t answer the phone and when they do they put you on hold and then hang up. Try calling back and it just rings. I’ve left several messages for the billing department and they never return my calls.

  46. Shout out to Dr. Bhurgri I’ve never had a psychiatrist understand bipolar disorder as well as he does Completely changed my experience with medication when he told me about the difference between ssri’s and mood stabilizers After many bad previous experiences with other places/doctors

  47. My doctor, Dr. Bhurgri, is truly the best! I recommend him to anyone because he helped me heal my mind when it seemed impossible to me. He works wonders.

  48. Dr. Ashhar Bhurgi is an amazing doctor! When I met him I was struggling to find a reason to move on. I felt there was absolutely no way foward. Life felt bleak. In less than 6 months of treatment he changed my life. I am moving in a …

  49. Joan, my psychiatrist, has been very wonderful and supportive in my victory over mental illness. The staff is kind and professional and schedule my appointmentss around my busy work schedule. Thank you for all your help..

  50. Dr. Burgri has been working with me to resolve my mental health problems and I’ve been very happy with the results so far. Now I’m looking into TMS treatments and hoping they will completely help my depression from debilitating me. Dr. Burgri is a wonderful physician and cares very much.

  52. Dr. Ashhar Bhurgri is a pleasure to work with, a true professional with high expertise in his field. I am very happy to have had him oversee my treatment. He is patient, encouraging, and always pays close attention to detail to ensure that …

  53. Came into the psychiatric with anxiety/panic attack problems. Dr. Bhurgri was a huge help and very understanding. Slowly but surely, i’ve been able to manage my anxiety a lot more than before. Big thanks to the Brimhall wellness center staff for being professional and kind.

  54. I have been seeing Dr. Bhurgri for several years. He has been a light during some of my darkest hours. He is a compassionate listener kind and thoughtful. He is clear and concise and I have made considerable progress due to his guidance and mentoring. I consider Dr. Bhurgri to be a trusted freind I am grateful beyond measure.

  55. Dr. Bhurgri has been instrumental in helping my son. He is kind and very easy to talk to. My son has gone from D’s and F’s last year also not wanting to continue schooling post graduation (which we weren’t even sure he would graduate on …

  56. Great staff that have always been incredibly helpful any time I needed documents, had a prescription issue with insurance or pharmacy, and have been great on the phone or in person. I’ve felt incredibly cared for and hope I can continue to use them indefinitely.

  57. Dr. Ashhar Bhurgri has been the best doctor to work with. He is well trained and remains up-to-date on current research and treatment strategies, therapies, medicine, etc. He takes the time to hear your concerns, offer solutions or …

  58. I have been seeing Dr. Bhurgri for a few months now and with his help, I have finally been able to manage my symptoms. He listens attentively and he is very genuine and easy-going. I’d highly recommend The Psychiatric Wellness Center and Dr. Bhurgri to anyone in a difficult spot.

  59. I’ve seen Dr. Bhurgri for the last two years. I’ve always felt comfortable sharing everything with my Doctor. I’ve never felt judged for the things I have felt or done. I would recommend him to anyone wanting help with their mood or bad habits.

  60. Dr. Bhurgri has been an excellent provider since I began seeing him a few years ago. He is genuinely compassionate towards his patients, actively listens to concerns, and is collaborative, supportive, and knowledgeable in the process. Dr. …

  61. Dr. Bhurgri is amazing, caring, compassionate, and understanding. He listens to my concerns and answers questions clearly and in a way I can understand. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a physician in his field.

  62. I have had nothing but the best care from Dr. Bhugari and Suzie. Dr. Bhugari is very easy to talk to. So is Suzie. They are very prompt in getting you your medicine. Office staff is busy but nice.

  63. I’ve been going here for many years. Probably the best psychiatrist office I’ve ever been to. Very clean and friendly! I feel embarrassed sometimes because I’m there so often about medications, but they’re doing a great job. Shoutout to Dr. …

  64. Dr. Burghri has been working with me to change medications that are contraindicated and prescribe meds that are more appropriate for my diagnosis. I really appreciate his sense of humor and taking as much time as needed to explain how our …

  65. This place is terrible. They have cancelled and had to reschedule every appointment I have ever made. I take time off work to meet with them and they cancel the day before nearly every time. I understand things happen but every appointment …

  66. My therapist recommended me to Dr. B and referred to him as “the best”. I have been his patient for 2 years and he has drastically changed my life. He takes the time to listen, evaluate and care for his patients. I refer everyone I know to him.

  67. I have never been disappointment with the service at the wellness center! they’re always willing to go the extra mile to make sure that you get your appointments your medication and to speak with somebody when you need help even an emergency! I owe them so much for taking good care of my mind and body!

  68. I have been a patient of Dr. Bhurgri for several years, and I really appreciate him! I know that Psychiatrists should be somewhat personable and positive when dealing with their patients, but that has not been my experience in the past …

  69. Was great at the beginning, and I never missed an appointment. Now a year later, I missed one, payed the “no-show’ fee and have left 4 voicemails to reschedule. Nobody has called me back in the last 10 days, and I have not been able to talk …

  70. I met Dr. Ashhar Bhurgri who many call “Dr. B” 2 1/2 years ago. For the first 6 months of seeing Dr. B even though my problem with alcohol was obvious, Dr. B was always very kind, patient and always made time to listen to me. I never felt …
