“After 15 years of driving to my psychiatrist office and paying $75–$125 for a 15-minute appointment every three months, this is so much more reasonable! My doctor genuinely cares. When I need medication, he is available (with notice). Brightside also has immediate help on a hotline 24 hours a day(I think, haha.) He sees me more often if necessary. I just love the service. Thanks, Brightside/Dr P!!”
“This is my first time ever having anything like psychiatry or therapy in my life and I have nothing but good things to say about Brightside and my psychiatrist Sarah Parker. I’ve enjoyed the app, the check-ins required and being able to see your own progress. I like that I can set later evening appointments to fit within my work schedule and that the process of things are easy and streamlined and being able to be seen frequently.”
“Brightside is extremely convenient for those who don’t have time for in person appointments easy to reach the doctor and they’re quick to send prescriptions to pharmacy.”
“I hate your messaging that “It’a time to check in” “check in now” and “Your provider needs to meet with you this week.” You don’t tell me what to do. Dial it back. You ask me to check in. My provider requests a meeting. I don’t take orders from a freaking app. Also, I feel like all I can do is check that everything is great all the time because the one time I was honest about symptoms my provider jumped down my throat about meeting with me, demanding that I drop everything to meet with her on short notice. I’m a flipping attorney and these unilateral demands for me to schedule things on short notice are not well taken.”
“I would give 10 if I could my psychiatrist is amazing she listened and put me on meds she knew would possibly help me and it has been working great for me”
“After years of struggling to find local therapists, I was put in immediate contact with multiple options I could attend electronically and now have a wonderful therapist that I meet with weekly. Absolutely awesome and much needed service. I’m just glad Brightside exists.”
“The learning platform is great I love it and both my psychologist and psychiatrist have been amazing. The best part, the app makes it all so easy to get enrolled and moving forward positively. In addition, while I don’t need suicide prevention, I appreciate the intentional thoughtfulness around that within the app and with the medical professionals to ensure patients stay safe between appointments and know what to do when they’re not safe.”
