Brad and his staff provide an understanding and professional environment which allows one to have the medical support needed in order to achieve both short and long term wellness.
Having a dependable, dedicated and educated staff has directly contributed to a positive and productive relationship.
If there was a 6th star, I would have checked it!

What I found really frustrating was that I would often have to wait very long for my appointment to start, but it didn’t seem if it was because he was taking a long time with his patients—my appts always felt pretty short and impersonal. For example, he would spend long stretches just looking at the screen seemingly reminding himself of his notes, something I wish he would do before hand so as not to waste time. He also did not seem to collect very good notes since I had to on several occasions remind him why I was getting off my particular medicine. He also contracted his earlier treatment

I called to make an appointment for my son. Dr. Bradley was highly recommended by the mother of a teamate of ny son. The lady at the front desk was rude wouldn't let me get a question in and i was told he no longer sees children. I go with first impressions a lot so thank you for saving me future agony. Also find yourself a new job there are others like myself that would take that job in a heartbeat and give people a reason to come back.

I have been seeing Dr.Brad for many years and I can truly say that before I was his patient other doctors couldn't figure out meds for me. He turned right into what I needed and shortly after I began seeing him I was ok and actually happy and good for the first time in a long time. The receptionist is a little rough around the edges but once you get to know her shes actually quite nice and great with my son who now comes and sees brad.

I've been seeing Bard Why for almost three years. Before coming to Bancroft I had not been able to get the right meds (most effective) with my previous doctor. His ability to identify the appropriate medication for me has given me peace of mind and PEACE of mind.
Brad did great job providing me with vivid and realistic behaviors to help me identify my particular mood. His sense of humor and relatability are refreshing.
I recently brought my son to see Brad. For many, many years I believed that ADHD was the cause of his pervasive attention struggles. After 15 minutes of discussion Brad identified

The doctor overall was pretty nice but the woman at the front desk can be extremely rude. I missed my first appointment due to me forgetting which has a lot to do with what I'm being seen for. When i called to reschedule she gave me an attitude and got in my business asking me why i missed my appointment and saying "well i gave you a card."
...what exactly makes her think everyone keeps appointment cards in their possession at all times? People have lives, the last thing theyre gonna think about is an appointment card.
Fast forward a couple weeks to a month for my next appointment

I love this office and would recommend it to anyone. If you know how to keep your appointments, you will never have a problem. I’m usually in and out. Unlike any other office they have moments when patients are late but other than that I’m still seen. Since my referral, they have called to remind me of my appointments and I always receive a card to remind me as well. It’s a positive environment for me to release my tension. Thank you Karen and Brad! Many blessings!

I originally called this location and was able to have an appointment scheduled. Upon arriving to the appointment, I spoke with the receptionist who seemed like she was in a rush to be somewhere. I filled out the appropriate paperwork and waited a great deal of time to be seen by the mental health person. He was very pleasant, and the appointment was short. It wasn't too bad of a visit, and I was able to make another appt. I did have to reschedule my appt to another time, due to some financial issues that I ran into closer to the date. The lady at the front desk seemed annoyed that I had to

Good Day:
I had to let myself calm down from I thought the most unorganized and unprofessionalism I experienced on March, 21st. So, here it is. I called this office in January to schedule for a consultation. The Sunday before my appt, I received a call that the office would be closed that Monday because of the weather. I called back a few days later, and was not able to get an appt until March 21st. I get to the appt at 10 go to the secretary and stated to her, "this is my first time here am I checking in the right place"? Her response, "what is the name"? Once it was established
