Report
I have tried a few times to schedule and reschedule appointments with the associates at this firm with negative results. Yet every tiime I ask about scheduling a future appointment, the office staff states that only the psychologist can schedule appointments and that they never schedule appointments ahead of the current week. Although I think they are probably good psychologist, I have to say that either they or the office staff exhibit poor business practices towards clients. I finally gave shouldup and am currently looking for a more client oriented psychologist.

If you value your family, I would stay away from this practice. This practice has destroyed my family. They encourage lieing to parents, they encourage children running away. Since my daughter ran away,and been staying with family. I now have to file for custody. This practice has compounded the situation 1000 times worse. If they could get negative stars ,they would. STAY AWAY!!!

From Joanne Buda to Andrew McGinley, I have had positive feedback and a more productive way to work through some things.
