Alissa Fodor

Positives: May lean toward a wholistic approach to health. Eg: when I told her I was vegetarian, she showed me a Vegan Protein Poster specifying sources of protein for vegans. Negatives: 1 No Welcome Letter-Info about this practice. Only when I tried to reschedule did I learn that she’s at that location Thurs & Friday. 2. Imposes personal, not professional, perspective. She asked about my spiritual goals. I explained I am not a believer in religion or god. Her response was uneducated and tactless: Most people have spiritual goals. Had I returned I would have asked for an example of spiritual goals. 3. No pre tx instructions given for Ketamine (eat or not beforehand? Drink water or not? What room would I be in? Laying down or upright?) No information emailed in advance of the apt date. 4. The Alta team - whomever they are, communicate through wecare @altamh. How do patients know who receives or reads them. Wondered whether this was HIPAA compliant. Poorly managed practice.

Dr. Fodor is a godsend. I have been to many therapists and psychiatrists for years, and finally I found her! It is just not about prescribing meds. There are plenty of other ways to approach your mental health. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Ketamine Therapy Treatment and more. Alissa Fodor takes the time to really get to know you and has many resources to make effective change for you. After 30 years of going nowhere with my depression and anxiety I am finally on the right path. Her office is in Salem MA on Highland Ave ALTA Mental Health
