You will regret this. Your insurance they don’t care nor will they care about you. You will get a very minimal interaction with the doctor who seems overly eager to hide his credentials. Other people have complained about the same thing but his staff is rude, never a straight answer. You’ll pay more money for nothing. Go elsewhere. There are so many who are in this for the people not the money they people are crooks. Newspapers will be notified as well as others. Do your part of you care for someone with mental health and heave this place.

If you're looking for pills, this is your place. If you're looking for therapy, go elsewhere. He flat out said he won't provide it because insurance doesn't pay him enough to do so, and he has to keep his business afloat. The fact that they promote this office as a place to receive therapy services is abominable. He saw a new client every 10-15 minutes, and I'd be very interested to see how he's billing these sessions, and what the insurance companies would say if they saw how he conducts business.

I have been seeing Marylin for 9 months now. The front desk girls are always very courteous and Marylin has been awesome and understanding. I have never had to wait longer then 5-10 minutes to be seen. I am so glad I found this office because my prior experiences with a different office were not great.

Dr Lilath Tissera was not only unprofessional, but also rude, insensitive, And insulting to say the least. When I originally called for this appointment I made it a point To let them know of my current insurance that had just changed, causing a lapse in my medication as well as a provider that could see me to distribute it. When I got there I was not only told that the provider isn't contracted with my insurance, but also when I was seen I was immediately rejected for my prescriptions that I only had a 2 week refill for until I was able to be seen for this appointment. Not only was it the

I wish I could rate zero stars. After being released from the hospital after 5 long weeks for severe panic disorder I met with Dr. Tissera. He spent 4 minutes with me and wrote a quick RX and dismissed me. The next 3 times I went for my appointment were the same. The reason why I feel it's important to write this review is so patients know this man could leave you in a dangerous situation. I went for my monthly appointment in the beginning of December and left with my RX for both of my medications (not a controlled substance, Zoloft, Lamictal). A few days later I called to make my appointment

This "doctor" abandoned my son after prescribing HEAVY meds to him and having him involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital. Of which, the hospital released him in less than 24 hours (they wanted to release him sooner, but a social worker spoke to the hospital on our behalf.
How do you abandon (he said he didn't want to treat him after he prescribed and committed him) a patient??????
BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think this might be a pill mill. It is not a resource for mental health!!!!!!

Dr. Tissera changed my life! With his prompt diagnosis my ADHD has been finally addressed, allowing me to escape from the darkness ADHD threw me and live a normal life. I am 43 years old and I have been able to be successful in my profession. (I am an engineer), at the price of struggling with my health and my private life. Now I know that my ADHD was responsible for my struggle. I have never been aware I had ADHD, and not because I did not show strong symptoms of the disorder. I believe this was due to a mixture of lack of education and misinformation on the subject, both from my side and from

This Man is Psychiatrist who is SO timid GOD FORBID you're in anything but a good mood. First meeting he treated me poorly because he thought I was late so he made me wait an other hour before he saw me and chastised me for being late, which I wasn't . Beware you may think you are having a conversation with him but he ain't listening. Second meeting - had to run to 3 ATM's because the office hasn't quite come into the 20th century as far as paying goes. He had no idea who I was. He had no idea he gave me updated medication plan. I got upset and he accused me of insulting
