Dr. Padro was awesome. His ozone therapy was just what I needed. Also super easy to schedule my appointment and, once there, they took care of me on time.

I stumbled across the Mind and Soul Therapy on Google and after having read most of the reviews, I decided to give it a try. I have been dealing with a chronic GI/stomach issues for a long time and after a consultation with Dr. Padro, I started the treatments right away. My health in general has improved a lot after a few months of treatments. Besides the GI issues, he also treats me for my drinking problem for which I have seen a drastic improvement. The staff is caring and courteous and the clinic is super clean, highly recommend.

The therapists/psychiatrists are good but the customer service line is terrible. I just called to confirm my appointment and got yelled at by the person on the phone. She had a sarcastic tone the whole time and treated me like I was stupid. When I told her I thought I was speaking directly to the office, she said that this was the message line and that "it's not her fault I don't pay attention." When I responded "excuse me?" she basically started arguing with me and told me "it's not my fault if you have issues." It's just SO crazy how people who work at therapists offices (and often need WAY more therapy themselves) can be so rude and insensitive and think is acceptable to talk to clients like that!!! If you don't like your job just quit or get a job where you don't have to interact with anyone. We need more empathetic and compassionate humans working in this field, not rude, insensitive, and impatient people. Interactions like this one are the reason why so many people shy away from getting professional help. They're afraid they'll be treated like they're crazy or delusional by workers who need extensive training on mental health and customer service.
