Very Excellent experience here! Everyone is friendly and really makes you feel important while being there. One of the bests places with the best people I’ve seen in a long time. Andrew Johnson is very involved and makes you feel heard about symptoms or concerns with medication. Felt heard and understood when i left my appointment!

The physical office itself is beautiful and clean. There was relaxing music playing, and the receptionist was polite and patient. I saw Dr. Jennifer Sebastian, and she was great! She was easy to talk to. Very understanding. She seemed to actually listen to me. She was professional and super helpful. She explained my plan of care very well and made sure I was on board and understood everything. She also explained the new medication she was prescribing for me very well and answered all my questions. I’ll see her again in a month and I look forward to it. I really appreciate her services.

Sheena Patel is professional, friendly and caring. I get the feeling she values my input and that I am an active participant in treatment of my depression and anxiety. She is prompt with medication as well.Luther, her assistant is wonderful. He does all he can to assist patients/clients with setting up appointments that are convenient for them. At least, that has been my experience. Im glad I got a referral to PNS a couple years ago.

Dr. Alva and his team of medical professionals provide excellent services for a wide range of behavioral health issues.The main thing that sets PNS apart from other providers is that everyone on staff genuinely cares about the well-being of their patients.The office staff was very responsive to my calls and emails. Excellent customer service.

Dr. Alva has been a great help to me. By really listening to me (so important!), he has determined which medications I could most benefit from, as well as the just right doses to prescribe for the best possible results. Additionally, the support staff is always courteous and professional. I highly recommend Pacific Neuropsychiatric Specialists!

PNS is awesome. Dr. Alva is not only incredibly insightful, patient, and caring, he is funny and personable, as well. His demeanor puts you at ease and you can tell he cares. I also see Jennifer Sebastian, who is also wonderful. The office staff is always nice. A bonus. Been going here for a little more than two years. Life changing.

My wife sees esperanza, she is very nice, patient and non judgemental. She seems like she genuinely cares about her patients. We also saw Jennifer Sebastian for a second opinion, she seems like shes knows what she is doing, she is nice, upfront and honest, we showed her medications that another phsyciatrist had prescribed. She was honest and said she felt like the other phsyciatrist was doing a good job. She did not try and convince us to switch to her. Also she is laid back. The office smells really good, its clean and peaceful

Hello, this is Angel, Angilinas son. I would like to say that Sheena Patel is a very good psychiatrist, and that she is awesome. On that note, this place made a good choice of employing her. She is helping a lot of people. She is really good at being responsive and she listens to what we have to say.

This is my first visit to the office as I was a new patient. I very much appreciated Dr. Mule he took the time and listened to what I had to say (not like most? doctors who already have their preconceived notions about what you are or are not ) he was patient and personable and took as much time as I feel I needed. Thank you for the great service and Im looking forward to continue working with this office. I have already referred the office to some of my friends. Thank you for your time and your service.

I was very happy with my visit at this location. I mixed up the time of my appointment and instead of forcing me to reschedule, as I was willing to accept they managed to fit me in for an appointment with a promise from me to be more diligent next time. Couldn’t feel more welcome as a new patient

The front office staff was SO caring. It was my first visit and I had just gotten some bad news. The Latina office staff member was beyond kind and said she would pray for me. That kindness is rare in our present world. In addition, Luther Tolbert is beyond amazing! He explained the gene sight test and eased all my worries which included personal and spiritual. Please ensure you acknowledge these two priceless, genuine, caring, and amazing human beings. I would not hesitate to drive out 30 minutes away to your wonderful office. God bless, guide, give all of you patience, compassion, perseverance, and continued knowledge to help individuals like myself who are having difficulty finding the right medication. Like the statement you have in you office says, Not all diseases are visible. That brought me to tears because I found the right place where no one gives up on me. Thank you from the bottom of my ❤.

Jen Sebastian is a God send to my life. Our monthly check-ins to manage my adhd and anxiety medications helps me tremendously to prevent forgetting or delaying getting my much needed medication until its too late and I run out, which I used to do all the time in previous years. Im also battling and searching for proper diagnosises and treatment for a lot of really difficult, chronic physical health issues. Jen listens to my progress updates every month with compassion and offers me invaluable support and encouragement that helps me so much to keep a positive attitude and brings so much comfort and confidence that Im at least in control of my mental health and able to manage my ADHD and anxiety in the best possible way. I know shes always there if I need her and the office is very helpful and patient with me as well, when assistance is needed.

Good experience with the doctor but Ill be glad when the Covid pandemic restrictions are lifted.What do you know? It was written for me. It was good to see Jen face to face. The temperature taking, weight and blood pressure was no big deal.Well, what do you know ? My thoughts exactly. Love Jen. And its Jen not Jennifer.

Review №58

YVETTE ELPIDO HAS NEVER DICTATED MY TREATMENT, INSTEAD LISTENING TO MY CONCERNS AND FEARS OF PAST EXPERIENCES, THEREFORE UTILIZING A PERSON CENTERED TREATMENT PLAN. SHE HAS SHOWS COMPASSIONATE, INTERESTED, AND HAPPINESS OVER MY PROGRESS. SHE HAS NEVER PRESSURED ME TO TAKE MEDICATIONS I FELT APPREHENSION OR TREPIDATION OVER, INSTEAD GAVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO WAIT UNTIL I FELT READY TO DEAL WITH POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS.I THINK ITS IMPORTANT FOR A PATIENT TO FEEL THEY HAVE A SAY, AND CONTROL, IN THEIR TREATMENT.YVETTE HAS BEEN VERY PATIENT WITH ME, AND AFTER A NUMBER OF MEDICATION TRIALS, OVER SEVERAL YEARS, WE FOUND A TREATMENT THAT, WHIILE STILL IN THE EARLY STAGES, HAS DECREASED MY FEAR AND LEFT ME FEELING HOPE, FAITH AND BELIEF, 3 FEELINGS IVE BEEN WITHOUT FOR FAR TOO LONG.I ONLY WISH OUR SESSIONS COULD BE LONGER.

Review №61

Meeting with Alex Mule has been a blessing because hes very down-to-earth, gives me an opportunity to share what I need and listens to me and values what I say. Hes flexible on appointment issues even when I forget to dial in and connect to Zoom . He still gives me a call and we work it out. Once there was a problem with a medication he prescribed that made my blood pressure high and my primary doctor put me on HBP against my request. When I told Alex we sat together and he verified what I had researched and realized it was true so he changed my medication and brought my blood pressure to normal again. His humility, honesty and apology for that made me realize that he was for keeps. Any other doctors or Physicians assistants would just ignore you as if you dont know what youre talking about but he actually listens and if its valid he works with you on it . I recommend him to anyone except just make sure that you save time for me. LOL!

Review №78

I was never seen by the leading psychiatrist for the whole 6 months that I went there. I was always seen by an assistant (Jennifer Sebastian) without knowing that she is NOT a doctor simply because she didn’t introduce herself with her credentials or her position. Moreover she never corrected me when I called her “doctor” during my visits, she never mentioned that she is not! She increased my medications dosage tremendously and when I got into complications, her answer was “I don’t know why, ask the pharmacist” which put me and later the pharmacist in shock. Obviously no supervision by Dr. Alva, only he banks the moneyThis place deserves zero star, never will go back
