“No complaints other than the fact that I NEED XANAX FOR ANXIETY!!!!! Dr. Jones said Brightside doesn't allow her to. I'm 40 yrs old w a special needs 14yr old. ITS MEDICALLY NECESSARY ESPECIALLY DUE TO MY BRAIN INJURY FROM A CAR ACCIDENT I HAD IN 07. CHANGE THAT POLICY BECAUSE ITS WRONG OF BRIGHTSIDE TO DO THAT. PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF NEED IT & DONT ABUSE IT. IM GOING TO CHANGE TO ANOTHER DR DUE TO THIS.”
“I don't like the care l have received. The current doctor took me off my ability. Luckily, l still have some.
He was judgemental,and took me off the medication that helps me the most. I would like another doctor to take over my care”
“I don’t feel like my providers were a great fit and I’m too overwhelmed and it’s too much energy and executive function to find new ones. I avoid the emails and texts. The digital format for care doesn’t seem to work well for me”
“For the amount I pay I don’t necessarily get anything out of Brightside. I can’t afford 200 dollars a month for a session with a therapist. So my plan is the cheapest and it gives me nothing in return. No point in continuing paying.”
“I have requested a new therapist. Have not received one since I started. However I do have a provider for perscriptions. This is not the desired care I wanted. Tempted to go with another provider so that I can have a therapist to speak with and a provider. I don't think i'm asking for too much to see a different therapist.”
“I’ll be honest, I got discouraged and turned off when I had a medical emergency and had to cancel an appointment. They still charged me $70 even tho I let my therapist know an hour in advance (asap as it was a medical emergency). I got the refund about a week later but that made me feel so small and uncomfortable. I want to be a patient first, not a customer first.”
“I have not had the best of luck or overall success with the app and therapist. I enjoyed working through the exercises I was first offered but they are no longer available. I have had difficultly getting responses from staff, reps or techs.”
“Made three appointments with two different therapists. The first didn't show up, twice, and the second had technical issues on our first visit and I didn't want to try again. Medication service and related communications have been ok.”
“I feel I should be doing much better and I am not sure I have the write therapist. I need to dig deeper into my behaviors, why and what steps to take to make it better. I am happy with my medication managment”
“I have now been canceled on by my therapist 3x within a few hours of my appointment. If I do that I get charged. It is not fair as I have set aside time for my appointments”
“Providers are always 10-15 minutes late or cancel last minute. As a mother it’s hard to coordinate appointments as is. I thought this app would make things easy. It’s been a pain. Might seek another company.”
“I have not had a good experience. The psychiatrist was great but the therapist pretty much blew me off. She ended our first call and then went on vacation and never got back to me.”
“I need to cancel. I can’t afford it and I thought I was signing for one month only to see how it went. Now I’ve been charged $95 for another month. How do I cancel this?”
“Frustrating that I cannot just make an appointment to refill my medication- in the "review requested" there should be an option to just make an appointment. The meds are working, I just need a refill, and that is not an option. Too many steps to make a follow up appointment.”
