I am so happy that I am now receiving psychiatric services and medication management at Orange Coast Psychiatry with Sara Esquihua, NP. She is such a wonderful psychiatric practitioner who has literally changed my life in just 2 sessions. Everything about this practice is very modern and seamless - the Headway app they use is very good and helps with efficiency, communication, easy payment, and schedule reminders. I am so happy that I found this practice and my particular practitioner, Sara Esquihua. 5 stars for everything. I do go in person, but telehealth is also available. If you are looking for a great psychiatric practice, try Orange Coast Psychiatry. I was assigned to Sara, and am so happy I was! I really think God helped me find her.Google rating score: 4.9 of 5, based on 252 reviews
