Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Understanding and compassionate
She was very helpful and compassionate. I was able to get stabilized. She knew exactly what I needed and listened to me. I recommend her for all psychiatric needs.

Poor communication
Telehealth
Dr. Pizarro is very nice during visits and seemed focused on solving my problems, but I felt like I was simply being pushed out of the door with a new prescription in hand every time. I was seeing her for mood stabilization, and while I was taking the drug, she was not responsive to refill requests, leaving me to go multiple days without stabilizers. I eventually gave up on medication and tapered myself off with no assistance. Would not recommend going to her unless your needs are very simple

No Communication
During times of my worst medication side effects she was not reachable at all via phone or email. No follow up to get back to me. She agreed to write an ESA letter on my last visit and nothing was sent my way. When I followed up with Mindpath they said they'd pass the message along but I received nothing new.

she is great, but the office staff at community psychiatry is horrible. There is a certain demeanor that should be considered for working with people who suffer from mental health issues. The receptionists who gather and give information over the phone DO NOT have it.
