BEWARE!!! Don't give Dr. Savalia/ Get Well Psychiatry your bank card number!!! I gave him my bank card number on the pprwk he required me to complete before my 1st appt. I only gave it to him so that he could charge my office visit copays. I had my first (and only) appt with him in 2021. He sent his bill to the wrong address and my insurance company then gave him the correct address and asked him to resend it. Instead of doing so, he immediately charged my card for the that appointment. I only provided him with my card number for my copays! Nothing else! He did not notify me that he

Stay away from this place. This doctor is exhibits such money hungry, predatory behavior. I went to him for 2 sessions and he charged me almost $1,000. Then refused to see me because my insurance “declined” payment. I called my insurance and the claims were still processing. His contract says 30-45 days. He charged me out of pocket after a week. When I spoke to my insurance about this, they said it was breach of contract but he refuses to refund me my money. Our sessions were about 30 min but he charged the insurance for 45-1hr. The first 15 min were about money. He wouldn’t see me until

Just like the last guy said I gave him 1 star because I couldn't give him less.
This doctor is money hungry. My story is I had a choice between this doctor and another doctor from my insurance company. The other Dr had a two week wait time this doctor was available the next day. So I ignores the negative reviews I saw I figured I had insurance so how much could he charge me?
First he had me sign a bogus contract.
Second he charged my co pay as if we were "in person" even tho we were on the phone and my insurance waved the co pay for telephone visits.
Third he had me pay $150 for a 1 page email

As an adult, I find it upsetting to be treated as a child by someone who says they intend to help me. Since my first visit, Doctor Savalia refuses to see me alone despite having no reason he would expect for me to be dangerous, and when speaking with him I was not given a word unless it was in his favor. My relative blindly followed him because of his charisma, he seduced them to the idea that what he was giving me was right, but while on the medication he prescribed I was suffering more severe panic attacks and given no way to cope other than sleep. My relative was not accurately describing my

This doctor will not help you! All he wants is money that doesn't even belong to him. My insurance is really good and He wanted 300 dollars and cash! I needed help and a refill only since I just moved to cerritos. People please don't waste your time. He was very persistent until my insurance said I only had to give 10%. He said oh I'm not in network, when I'm covered in and out of network! He wanted me to give money and tell my insurance to reimburse me, made no sense. He seems like he doesn't care for your well being. Paycheck doctor

I give him one star because i cant give him less. Money hungry doctor. All he cared about was payment. I have a $100 yearly co-pay for individual and $200 for family. My daughter was going to be the only patient and he kept arguing with me that i needed to pay the $200 because there were 3 of us coveted under the insurance, so the co-pay should be $300. I pointed out that only one family member was going to see him so only the $100 deductible applied. After much arguing back and forth, he conceded that it was only $100. Then in his office he insisted on payment before tretment. When i handed him
