Review by Joe Plata Veteran October 3, 2025

4/5
I always attempt to have a good experience with medical providers since I have worked with clinicians in different fields in psychiatric hospitals. I feel that Dr. BROOKS failed me when she had me wait for a screening for treatment, the whole month of September and 2 days in October. She canceled my appointment shy of one week for this screening. A new appointment and again the same long wait.
