My experience definitely did not start off good. I had someone give me the wrong information for my appt (Telehealth, was given wrong person's login), waited 5mins past my appt before I tried calling the front desk. (Providers run late) I could not reach anyone at the front desk, I called 13 times and only got voicemail. So I called the nurse line, the nurse was extremely unhelpful, sent me back to the front desk VM.

I then decided to call the BILLING department, at this point my appt is well over. I reached a lovely gentleman named Jay in Billing. He proceeded to call the front desk, when he couldn't reach he said he had emailed them and to wait for a call. Someone did call me back to R/S shortly after he emailed, she informed me she was the ONLY ONE at the front desk. no bueno! So she apologized and got me set up for later that same day for my FIRST appt w/ my counselor. (Hence why I was so agitated.

I needed this first session) Jay also FOLLOWED UP the next day to make sure I received a call back. I appreciate his kindness and his outstanding work ethic. :) thanks to him, I am content w/ services. (My counselor was also pretty cool so far)

A complete train wreck. was already anxious about coming, requested a female provider, was given a male. harassed in the waiting room by clearly strung out patients, and when I was finally seen by this male provider, he was no more than a college student completely unqualified to help me in any way. I was pressured into filling out dubious amounts of paperwork despite saying I didn't wan to come back.

They scheduled a follow up anyway. And also charged me for the visit despite my insurance covering 100% of their services. This is also the only place in Anchorage that takes Medicaid for Mental Health Services and that is shameful and disgraceful. The state of Alaska needs to do better

I wanted to update my review in hopes they kind of turned things around. By the looks of it things haven't improved with this particular clinic. The United States has some of the worst mental healthcare in the Western world, and Alaska ranks in the top 10 of the worst states to boot. Be careful who you choose for mental health care, and try to stay positive. Good luck everybody
