Dr. Alfafara stands out as the best psychiatrist I’ve been to. She is patient, knowledgeable, and most of all, actually cares. She went out of her way to see me during an emergency. She is ethical.
A 50 min Zoom telehealth visit ended up costing more than $1,000! I'm still trying to understand why, but to no avail. No wonder why they don't tell you about pricing before any services are rendered. Doctor seemed dismissive of parent's insights about a daughter condition. I'm changing providers.
I saw Dr. Alfafara for the first time yesterday after moving to this area and needing a psychiatrist for medication management. She was personable, very thorough, and didn't try to change medications that were working for me. I've noticed some people have criticized her for not "doing therapy," but in general psychiatrists in the U.S. don't do much of any therapy, just medication management. I appreciated that Dr. Alfafara took the time to go through my extensive medical history with me.
Dr Alfafara knew right away what meds would help me. She patiently listened to me and was so kind and understanding. I highly recommend her. Unfortunately I had to change to another psychiatric Office because her office group doesn't accept Medi-cal at that time. My care hasn't been as productive since. If I could I would have loved to continue seeing her. She is a bright spot in this city!!!
She misdiagnosed, made the diagnosis without even really talking to me about my life and how I was. Was very cold during all our visits and seemed like she just wanted me out of her office the entire time.
I would never recommend her to anyone. She nearly killed me. I would go in and the way she spoke to me was cold and it never seemed like she cared at all. Anytime I brought a new symptom or complaint to her she would just add another medication and not alter any other ones. Not only that, but she never properly diagnosed me, which made the medications she gave me very dangerous. DO NOT SEE HER. It's been a while since I've seen her, but trust me I've been better off staying away.
Caring and thoughtful. Does a thorough job.much more extensive first visit than any other dr I've ever gone to in my life.
I don't recommend this office because of the rude staff member named Monica . I was 7 minutes late because there is no suite number listed ( huge building). I called twice going to voice mail. Finally she answered and gave me the suite number and said because I am 7 minutes late I can't be seen. She booked me out 2 months. Just mean and horrible.
