Michael Lara is a wonderful psychiatrist who has helped me tremendously. It pains me to write this review, but I am super mad and hurt at his office administrator. She is very heartless, crude, and very, very unempathetic. For full transparency, I missed my appointment, but I called about 30 minutes later to reschedule. I asked if there would be a no-show penalty, hoping that, for being a patient for more than two years, there might be a consideration, but no, a $167 no-show charge. This is so unfair because they also cancel... read more

I initially had a great experience with Dr. Lara, but working with his wife/office biller-May- has been a disaster. She is harsh and doesn’t seem to care about the outcomes of the patients. After my experience with Dr. Lara for 2 years, however, he decided we can no longer work together due to a misunderstanding and his desire to bill me for an appointment we never agreed to. It seems Dr. Lara had installed a new policy that he will not continue to provide medication management unless he can bill you/your insurance and make ... read more
