Addiction Therapists - Fallbrook, CA

"What stands out most when I think of my experience with Dr. James A Carter is his lack of concern and empathy. I did not find him to be very helpful, professional, or compassionate. For instance, he had a 15 minute phone call with his wife while I was sitting right across from him, in the middle of my appointment! (This only happened to me once but it really shouldn't have happened at all. At the time it made me feel disrespected and very uncomfortable.) He promised and reassured me he was committed to working with me long term (as in years) and said he would be there for me, but a month later abruptly terminated my treatment with no prior warning leaving me in a very difficult and unsafe situation that I would not wish upon anyone (which is why I decided to write this review). It's a really horrible experience to be abandoned by someone you truly believed would be there for you. :( If you are looking for quality care with a reliable, skilled, trustworthy, non-judgmental therapist then take your business elsewhere. I would not recommend Dr. Jim Carter; he ended up causing a lot more harm in my life than good. P.S. He may want to update his picture as he looks considerably different now in 2012. "

"Unfortunately Dr. Love did not show for our confirmed appointment. Her system sent me a confirmation text for a specific time, I confirmed but she did not show and said she had written down another time. Dr. Love was late for our 2 prior appointments and was sick with a cold. She had someone call me later for payment. I called back two different days and it forwarded to their fax so I gave up. Originally I had found their website and submitted a contact form but never heard from her. The website is old with outdated info and a very old photo of her. Unprofessional. Office in a basement that is in a creepy building. Just not a good fit for me personally."
