Latest Review

“The office was neat and clean. I liked the fact they had different choices for drinking. The receptionist was well mannered and cordial. She politely answered any questions I had. Dr. Tun was comfortable to be with. He was relaxed and made me feel at ease. He was nothing like the therapist from hell, the late Joyce B. Tretick, who ruined my life. She was a cripple who had crutches strapped to her legs, and she would stifle me from talking by pointing her crutches at me. She would interrupt and talk to me arrogantly. Such a horrible therapist!!! Hard to believe she went to Columbia in New York when she was 15 1/2 years old!! One of the first few times, she was picking her nose while in session. Oh, one negative thing I could say of the visit, was that It was hard for me to find the place. I would suggest that for new patients, you let them know exactly where you are located!”
