DO NOT SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE HERE DO NOT SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE HERE! I had an appointment with a NP by the name of Paul Kariuki, yesterday at 7:30 p.m., which should have raised red flags in the first place. Total waste of money and time. He wasn't interested in any of my symptoms and he claimed that they didn't treat panic disorders although the websites clearly advertises that they do. He also claimed that since I've tried other medications in the past that failed, it was pointless prescribing other medications in the same family. You could see all hope leave my eyes by the end of the appointment. I was shocked. I guess they are making any and everyone nurses and doctors these days because he didn't even try. He gave absolutely no effort or suggestions, NOTHING. It was like paying a stranger for pointless conversation. I should have read the reviews here first.

Medication issues There were some billing issues - but nothing outside of normal insurance stuff. I have only done the medication part of the site because that is what my insurance will cover. The original session was pretty impersonal, painless and quick - but it was fine. I was able to ask questions and the provider was knowledgeable. The issue is that my medication issuing has been messy at best. I first got a low dose of medication to try out for a month or so. After that I had an appointment and we upped it to a low therapeutic dose. The issue is they didn't stop the original prescription and both perceptions were issued- which could definitely be an problem with certain medications. Currently, I have a 90 day supply of medication they can only prescribe every 5 months. My pharmacy tried to advocate, but Brightside told me that their system is not perfect and I would pay for another session to get it worked out. I have been without medication for 30 days and looks like I have to wait another month to get my prescription refilled. Another thing (not a reason that should stop you from using the service, but a major annoyance) They ask a questionnaire every two weeks about your mental health status. The choices to the frequency of feelings are - every day, almost every day, several days or never....aren't "almost everyday" and "several days" about the same thing? It is a small thing, but honestly makes it hard to answer. I am looking for another provider - it is safe to be constantly on and off medication due tho their system

To anyone reading this, stay away To anyone reading this. I know you need help, but Brightside is not the answer. Please do your wallets and minds a favor by staying away. After interacting with them and seeing all the bad reviews on here, go somewhere else. They don't care about you. Only your money. Please try to find local resources that may help. They would not refund me my money after I quit considering they did not prescribe the medication I needed. I tried to message my provider that I could not see them because of this, but they would not let me message. They are terrible and are not worthy of your needs. Please be safe. <3

No show when I needed help! My appt was 9:15-9:45 with a provider and I was told to arrive 5 mins before and stay 10 mins after just incase there was a technical issue. No provider/psychiatrist No show. No text, no email nothing. Horrible horrible service for someone needing real help.
