Collaborative Care of Abington Review

I have received wonderful compassionate care from Dr jayraj. The office staff as well have been very professional and kind. Highly recommend.

This place is not equipped with any of the modern tools that therapists are using to treat patients. Working with Robert Katof for two years, he was unengaged in any meaningful capacity and never made an effort to try to help his client fix problems. I never once learned anything or was able to cope better in any situation, because the "expert" was tuned out, always forgetting what I said, being late to appointments, and generally just being a friendly enough guy to be forgiven repeatedly. Best of all, three years after I stopped coming here I received a bill for a missed appointment from 2017. Knowing I had moved states, they mailed my old address a bill for years and never contacted me. When I called they didn't even apologize. Good riddance. If you want practical therapy practices using modern techniques, look up CBT Skills, DBT Skills and Somatic Experiencing. I can't even recommend this place for basic counseling because of the shocking misdiagnoses I observed with clear data.

Just a garbage place with garbage employees and ownership

I m not going to lie when I first arrived here I was terrified because all of the lights were out downstairs and there was dust on all of the chairs... but Bob H. is an awesome counselor. He seemed to actually care and didn t make our meeting feel anything like business transaction. Highly recommend!

Wouldn't return my calls to try to set up an appointment. Therapists probably shouldnt make you feel rejected before you even walk in the door and I'm not going to be delusional and try to call back for a third time.

I could write a novel on the terrible care I received from Sharon Katz. If only Yelp would let me give NO stars... God complex. Better than thou attitude. Rude. Unyielding. Abusive. Having extreme anxiety disorder made it difficult for me to take the leap to leave to seek out better treatment. Misdiagnosed from the start. Would not take me off meds that gave me extreme side effects. When contacted her about this (latuda - side effects, extreme tightening of leg muscles, constant teeth clicking & grinding) - her response was, "teeth grinding is a dental issue. Contact a dentist, don't contact me about dental issues". I was floored. Forced to stay on harmful med for another 3wks until our next appt. During that appt, she still fought me & did not want to lower my dose. Told, "don't agree, go find a diff therapist". Anything at all I ever tried to disagree about or give my fact-based opinion on, I was continuously told too many times to count to, "well, if you don't like this, feel free to leave and seek care elsewhere". It was her mantra. Mom passed away and within 3 mos time while still struggling with it, was told to "get over it". Straw that broke the camel's back was me seeking gastric bypass surgery, going thru the entire process for 10 mos, last on the list was to obtain letter from her stating I haven't had a manic episode in 1 yr. I hadn't & my medical records can confirm this. Of course I hadn't since I was misdiagnosed in the first place and am NOT bipolar. She refused to write letter, belittled me, blocked the surgery I had worked so hard for, and was again told to go somewhere else if I didn't like her way. Arguments like, "I want you to lose more weight first!". I responded by informing her that my surgeon directed me to lose 13 lbs, yet I had lost 26". Response? "don't like me, go to someone else". I finally left after that. She was borderline irate at that meeting. Went in to transfer med records from her practice to new therapist & one of her therapists under her (Sharon owns the entire practice, several of them, is not even a psychiatrist according to the state medical board I spoke to. No superior to report her to, since she owns this practice). While transferring records, HER employee literally said to me, "you didn't hear this from me but GOOD FOR YOU. RUN & RUN FAST". New therapist said had worked with her in the past and literally quit the job within 4 mos. because couldn't deal with Sharon's attitude. Stay away from her, she is toxic. Also informed by new therapist that Sharon also diagnosed me with Borderline Personality Disorder. I had NO CLUE about this! Of course, that was another misdiagnosis - laughable one, at best. I have tried to report her to every psychiatric agency that exists but she is not affiliated or a member of any of them. Why? BECAUSE SHE IS NOT A PSYCHIATRIST. Nurse practitioner with some psychiatric training. Not on ANY board. American Board of psychiatry finally directed me to report her to my state's board of nursing, because that's ALL SHE IS. An abusive nurse posing as a psychiatry god. If this report sounds bitter, it's because it is. My stomach issues are getting worse (were discovered during tests for bypass surgery - which would fix stomach issues) as time goes on...all due to ONE person who decided she had the power (and did, at the time) to control my very well considered & thought out life decisions. I could tell more stories than you can imagine, but I'll leave it at this. Not a good human being. As her own employee said...run & run fast...

This is an unprofessional facility that does not set patients up for success. My family member was set back for many reasons and they connect to the lack of concern, lack of care, proper medications, and overall belittling behavior by this facility.

They talk down to you and act like you're a terrible person for needing therapy. The one doctor refused to prescribe me medicine for my attention deficit, how ignorant!

My savior in my time of need, no one else would return my calls, or guide me as to where to go. They have been a constant support there after.

It took a long time for me to find a psychiatrist that I was comfortable talking to and who is both knowledgeable and empathetic. Dr. Jairaj is an amazing professional!! She listens, is very insightful, and really works hard with the patient to find a treatment plan that works!! The staff at this location are very sweet, super nice, and I never get uncomfortable going there because I do not feel judged and they are genuinely nice people. For someone who has severe anxiety, I absolutely love going here and feel 100% confident and comfortable when I go here!!
