Abelist Policies After filling out the long intake forms, I was given an appointmemt for roughly two weeks away. I thought that was pretty great turn around timing and was super excited. Then three days later, after I had already secured an appointment, I was emailed and told that they actually can't treat my conditions because "they don't have specialists in those areas". I was trying to get help with depression and anxiety, two of the most common mental illness struggles there are. I really wish they would have told me up front that they wouldn't treat me instead of giving me false hope and an appointment and then later canceling it on me. A lot of their policies feel really abelist and odd to me.

I booked my initial appointment on… I booked my initial appointment on ZocDoc, only to be told that appointment would not kept as I did not book on the Lavender platform. I ask then while allow for booking on Zocdoc at all. Then, my appointment was cancelled again as they stated that they not have my intake forms yet I had submitted the information 4 times. Then my appointment was cancelled again, on the day off due to connectivity issues of the provider. Most recently, my provider was 20 minutes late for the appointment and the she cancelled in the middle of my appointment has she again was having internet problems. She assured me that I would not be charged as we only had a brief visit, yet my card was charged $300 as a no-show fee. As always, I cannot get in contact with anyone when I call, it simply rings out. There is not even an answering service. In truth, the customer service at Lavender is disgraceful. Please do not book with this company.

Contacting them/setting up appointment… Contacting them/setting up appointment was super easy. The "concierge" service is nice and the person I emailed and spoke to on the phone is nice. They were very informative and answered my questions. I am looking forward to my appointment after this initial interaction!

awful I initially chose Lavender because I found the provider and liked their background and specialties. I liked that I could book online, and they took my insurance. Then so many things went wrong. My provider repeatedly canceled sessions last minute. When the concierge called to cancel a THIRD appointment in a row, I was given a reschedule date for over a month away. I was for some reason no longer able to book online and got no reason as to why. I work night shift and booking online is very helpful for me as it is challenging to call and schedule during business hours. They also were prescribing me medication that I had to stop taking since I had no one to help me determine if it was even working. When I emailed them to let them know I was no longer interested in continuing my care there (since they were canceling my appointments anyway) and that because of the situation would likely not try to find a new provider at all, I didn’t get any response other than a document shared with me that I was “discharged from service”. I feel like as a MENTAL HEALTH SERVICE, they should be much more concerned about their patients’ mental health.

pestered me to make a new appointment… pestered me to make a new appointment and then want to charge me $100 because I tried to cancel within 24 hours due to an emergency. The care is not good, if you just need pills its fine but dont try to utilize their care team.
