I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! My family member saw Victoria Walter for the first time and in 20 mins diagnosed them with depression & anxiety. She also prescribed medication. We wanted a second opinion due to the short time frame of the visit and cancelled the follow up. I requested documentation with the diagnosis as there was literally nothing in the patient portal. Victoria Walter then claimed she did not diagnosis my family member. The diagnosis codes were literally the only things on the chart summary. How do you file for insurance and prescribe without a diagnosis??? This is not only shady but very unprofessional. I requested & paid for medical records and was told it would take 2-3 business days. It is now 2 weeks and they still have not provided anything. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!

Great place to get back on your feet and back to work! Fantastic!!! Karlette is awesome as a IOP group leader. Beth was great at finding me the in person IOP group sessions and Karen is a great psychNP. Natalie helped bring it all together. The in person group are all very communicative and actually meet outside of therapy hours. I feel much better starting the process and probably will be able to get back to work so much sooner instead of just languishing at home the every day. Would recommend to all my coworkers.

ZERO STARS! ZERO STARS! As others have said, RUN. I have been trying to get a billing issue resolved for TWO MONTHS. I only got one billing phone call finally, after prompting from my therapist and that was a month and 1/2 ago!! They were supposed to escalate and have a manager call me. I have sent TWELVE pt portal messages, sat on hold for extreme amounts of time, never reaching a live person. At one point I had a patient advocate from my insurance company trying to reach them and even they couldn't!!! An insurance company advocate not able to reach them either?! Two months of this! My mental health is now in shambles with ongoing anxiety and high blood pressure because the bills keep coming anyway and I've had to continuously attempt to reach them unsuccessfully, along with my advocate. They sure can manage to keep sending bills. It's sad because my therapist was wonderful. You will be fine until a billing issue arises and trust me, it will eventually. I'm distraught that I have to find someone else because there's no way I can risk ever going through this again. And I know they're just going to send an automatic copy and pasted response just like all the other responses to the bad ratings, that they truly care, yada yada and please email or call them. I have!!! That's the problem

COMPLETELY INCOMPETENT This company is completely incompetent in every area - My son first saw Dr. Gulley. She's pretty kind initially, but she clearly isn't a strong note-taker. I had to repeat myself countless times in our appointments. One example; she requested me to obtain letters from my son's teachers, and failed to send the school the necessary request form. His teachers wouldn't release any letters until they received a note from her (this required a lot of coordination on my part mind you). I attempted to contact her multiple times, and by the time I was able to speak to her regarding it, it was during his appointment, and then she had no idea what I was talking about. These types of situations happened all the time. We originally came to her to re-evaluate my son, and she never did. We saw another psychiatrist who was completely baffled on why this wasn't her first plan of action. The billing department is just as awful. They overcharged me and to this day can't justify their charges. After sending 5 messages and complaining to the regional manager, I finally received a complete printout of each charge, but they don't list what each charge is for. The last item, and the most serious - My son was receiving automatic refills on his medication. They suddenly stopped, and nobody notified me. I called immediately to get my son seen asap, (my son's psychiatrist already quit Life Stance at this point), and they notified me that nobody was available until 3 weeks out. I asked if they would prescribe enough medication to get him through until he could be seen, and they said "they aren't allowed too". For those who aren't aware, this is legally considered as medical negligence - If anyone is on a psych medication, it's incredibly dangerous from them to suddenly stop taking it. They could experience a severe psychotic episode and many are committed because of it. Many even become suicidal suddenly. It's EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! I'm not someone to leave bad reviews, but this medical establishment is VERY ALARMING in how they practice. PLEASE PLEASE do your research. Don't entrust your loved one here.

BILLING DEPT SUCKS!! BILLING DEPT SUCKS!!! My insurance tells me I owe one amount and then Lifestance sends me a bill for a huge amount that is incorrect. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY. You CAN'T EVER get someone on the phone and the VERY RARE times you can, you are always given an Excuse their phone system is being fixed, they have new management, etc.... It's always Something! It's just all Truly Unprofessional and a Headache to deal with! I Like Meah McCray alot but I can't afford being over billed and then getting letters that my account is going to collections! This has been going on for a few YEARS now and I am DONE. YES, I SAID YEARS! The only people that can possible be happy are the ones with Medicare, Medicaid or Commercial insurance with No Copay. If you have a Copay stay FAR AWAY from this place!
