they don’t prescribe controlled substances

i’m a non-practicing mental healthcare researcher associated with a lab at Hopkins. I’ve been in the field a long time. They don’t prescribe controlled substances and they don’t announce that in anyway I had to search for it in the information before my first appointment. I also have long Covid or post. I’m a post long hauler with post-covid condition and I fallen under 100 pounds. so they took my money, onboarded me, had me fill out many forms, wasted my time and they expect me to consider this healthcare…that I would simply not get any controlled substances if the medication was considered that in the state, but they don’t have to tell me that until after they get my money, that’s not how healthcare works. That may be how some of the healthcare system is working right now. The healthcare system is just one tiny part of healthcare. now I’m gonna be sharing this with my network of colleagues, both digitally and in person this is not appropriate and they have violated consumer rights and patient rights. I am also now forced to call my bank and let them know about this and get a refund that way.
So shout out to anyone who’s looking for care that will not leave them sicker I recommend that you walk in the opposite direction immediately. ✌️🙏💜

Total scam.

They don’t even bother billing your insurance or sending a claim they just auto-charge you the full amount for everything and claim ignorance. Go ANYWHERE else.

Good service

Dr cordado is responsive, intelligent and helpful.

It changed my life

I love this app! I found here help and consistency! It’s been 3 years and I can’t even imagine why i would switch to offline appointments.

Therapist

Very upset bc I’ve been going through some things and looking forward to talking g to my therapist and she didn’t show up for the session! Please get therapist that will show up or at least let you know they have to cancel! Hopefully this new therapist is much better.
