"Dr. Baez is extremely dangerous. I scheduled an appointment to try and get medication to regulate my severe ADHD. I went into her office with my diagnosis papers after paying $500 to get this diagnosis I gave her the paperwork and she looked it for a second and instead was asking me questions about my ADHD symptoms, she started asking questions that alluded to me having bipolar. After we talk for 45 minutes she prescribed me 60 mg of lithium for my “severe bipolar“ which I am not diagnosed with. Prescribing someone in extreme mood stabilizer at the age of 21 after only meeting with them one time is extremely careless and dangerous. I have already had someone in my family prescribed a mood stabilizer like this the first visit and weren’t told the actual side effects and they ended up severely harming themselves, I did not take the medication and instead I found a doctor that provided me the help that I needed and now I have regulated my ADHD with medication for it. The only side effects she told me about taking lithium was dry mouth, but when I went to the pharmacy they had a booklet because of how severe the side effects of this medication actually are. It was very disheartening and very scary to walk out of there knowing what she is prescribing to her first time patients, especially young people that don’t know any better. It’s also very sad to see that in this day and age with all of the research, there are still people wanting to label women with ADHD as things like bipolar or another mood disorder instead of doing the research to know that severe ADHD can cause extreme mood dis regulation . Will not be coming back. Please be safe and do more research than I did. The front desk people were very nice but the scheduling department was always very rude, going as far as to ask me in a condescending tone “what do you have PTSD from”, which in general is extremely unprofessional and very private information."

"Called this morning to make a new appointment and was turned away because of type of insurance. No other options given by receptionist other than can't be helped. So are you really looking out for mental health???"

"This facility is brand new and very nice. The staff is superb, from the security guards when you arrive, to the receptionists and the medical staff. The medical care staff are compassionate and kind, and treat their patients with dignity, not as society's outcasts. It is never easy leaving a loved one in a medical facility, but knowing how well cared for they are there definitely made it easier."

"They didn't provide me with a therapist. Booked for 3 months."

"The staff is incredible, everyone is helpful and the kindest group working together I have ever met."
