Reviews of Comprehensive MedPsych Systems - Venice (Psychiatrist)

Cayla

I went in for one appointment with these people and they are completely unhelpful. When I showed up for my appointment there was no one at the front desk. When the receptionist did decide to return to work she looked like she had just rolled out of bed. The therapist was off-putting. She seemed snarky and stuck up. They wanted to see me 3 to 4 times a week, which I do not have the time nevermind the money for. When I told her this she said “ohhh maybe get a self help book then” and shuffled me out the door. I have been trying to cancel my next appointment that they scheduled me for THREE DAYS and NO ONE will answer the phone. Keep in mind if you don’t show up they charge your credit card. AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS. I’m dropping by the office today to cancel my appointment and let them know how I feel.

Having struggled with depression most of my life and that having affected my marriage, I decided I needed to go to counseling to address my depression and my marital issues. A friend recommended Comprehensive MedPsych Systems and I am finally feeling like I am working toward a good place.

In our work together, patterns became apparent and I had many life changing realizations. For the first time in my life, I feel as though I can be my authentic self in a relationship.

When I think of how far I've come because of therapy, I feel so, so grateful and amazed. Thank you, Comprehensive MedPsych Systems!

Daniel Maloof

My therapy has helped so much with my self-esteem and assisted in changing my patterns in relationship with women. I am now in a new relationship that is loving and respectful that is leading to marriage. I recommend Comprehensive MedPsych Systems highly.

Gale Ridgley

Before my first appointment at Comprehensive MedPsych Systems I was petrified. I was a person who never wanted to seek therapy, and I had done everything I could to avoid it. Now, I know that going to therapy is the greatest gift I have ever given myself.

I love my psychologist, Dr. Simpson. I could never have made the progress I have without his expertise. He is kind, compassionate and explains thoroughly every time I have had a visit. He is a definite asset to your business. He has helped me tremendously! Your billing system is another matter. I have the first 20 mental health visits with no co-pay and yet the receptionist continues to tell me I have a $25 copay. I have called my BC/BS twice to verify my coverage regarding mental health. It’s not the receptionist’s fault, it’s something in your billing system that continues to show I owe the copay. It would be nice if your IT Team corrected this as I already having enough things on my mind I don’t need to have to worry about this as well. Thank you.

We've had only five sessions so far, but they have been phenomenal. That is no exaggeration. The level of comfort and ease with which my wife and I have been able to open up lines of communication with their help has been amazing.

My doc is great so is my therapist. But the supporting staff such as Secretary....assistant...etc. Horrible and rude

Kristy O'Leary

Wonderful and kind staff and doctors. Doctor listened to me, and addressed all of my questions and concerns. I felt as though my voice was being heard, and that the doctor was very supportive and responsive in regards to what I was sharing. I would highly recommend this office.

Candace Glisson

I believe the techniques my counselor used coupled with a kind and compassionate nature really transformed how I think and feel about myself in a positive way and I feel very empowered as a result.

Riley Nash

With the guidance from my sessions at Comprehensive MedPsych Systems,I found the strength, the courage, and self-respect to change myself and fully realize the life I wanted to live. Thank you.

Maria Booth

I wanted just wanted to thank you. After six sessions with you I feel as though I am having my first adult relationship. After a decade of dating men that were wrong for me, this is a huge accomplishment!

Katharine Reigeluth

Honestly I am shocked at how I was treated by this so called psychiatric facility. I was discharged without so much as an opportunity to speak with my actual doctor, the decision was based on some ludicrous and untrue reason brought to my therapists attention. I walked into my weekly session with my therapist and needed an actual session. Instead I was yelled at by a doctor Gregory Kantor whom I've never met and who wouldn't allow me to get a word in edgewise. Kathryn Blyss and Dr. Desantis are both excellent mental health professionals but to tear someone from their medical facility without so much as an actual discussion with MY doctor was disgusting. I am scared about my medication and I honestly wouldn't reccomend anyone go here.

David Parkinson

Thanks to therapy, we are learning things from one another and about one another, some so very basic and simple and others that are incredibly deep and personal. It's embarrassing to admit that we couldn't find a way to communicate to one another without this help.

Darcy Dunn

Dr. DeSantis is a wonderful psychiatrist. Very intelligent, kind and thoughtful. The staff is always very friendly and helpful.

Craig Hinshaw

Very professional and caring staff.

Esta Newton

Instead of feeling powerless and confused, I now feel a sense of peace and acceptance. The tools you have taught me have enabled me to have a healthy relationship with someone who is right for me.

Heather Bond

I was in a lot of emotional pain due to trauma I had experienced as a child. My therapist showed me invaluable resources and methods to not only to end the painful cycle, but to flourish, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Gary Hartman

Lately I feel genuinely happy and feel counseling has contributed greatly in helping me to grow as a person, both spiritually and emotionally.

Madeline Brien
