Elizabeth Roberts is the best of the best. My 16 year old daughter was diagnosed with Bipolar I about 5 months ago, and has been in the throws of depression for about 2.5 months now (after being manic). Recently, Dr. Roberts, who came highly recommended by two of my colleagues, spent 1.5hrs to uncover the root of Jackie's depression and provided her with solutions.
Millions of parents are struggling with the decision of whether or not to medicate their children for psychiatric disorders from depression to ADHD to bipolar disorder. Now physician and psychiatrist Dr. Elizabeth Roberts explains the risks and benefits of medicating and not medicating children and demystifies and simplifies the process of separating psychiatric illness from the other more common behavioral patterns in children, particularly defiance, or willfulness.Dr. Roberts clearly explains what she discusses every day with the parents of the hundreds of children she treats.
Q: How can I tell if my child needs to be treated with psychiatric medications? A: If your child appears unhappy, fearful, excessively angry, failing classes or is struggling to get along with family and friends, to a degree greater than what you would consider normal, you need to seek help for your child from mental health professionals.

Incredible doctor. Prior to seeing Dr. Roberts, I was hopeless, anxiety-ridden, and had been addicted to drugs for over a decade. Dr. Roberts put me on a medication combination that fixed every problem I had suffered from for decades: OCD, social anxiety, depression, and the drug addiction to harmful substances. For the first time in my life, I accepted that I didn't have the solution to my problem and I listened to the expert and let her take control.
The results were astoundingly amazing. If you want a doctor that will prescribe you addictive/harmful substances (I.e., amphetamines, benzodiazepines, painkillers, ambien, etc.) then don't go to Dr. Roberts. If you want mental stability, happiness, and freedom from harmful substances, please do go and see Dr. Roberts as she will pour her heart and soul into helping you on your path to sobriety and a great life free from addiction.

She's helped me a lot through my depression. I've realized a lot through her appointments on where I need to improve. I respect her greatly. As I've seen, she only wants the best and does her best. I've had depression plus anxiety for five years. I made a lot of progress when I went to her office. High recommended.

My grandson went to see Dr. Robertson. In the initial visit, she did zero assessment testing and diagnosed him with Oppositional Defiance Disorder. She put him on a medication and it made him worse. His school psychologist did a complete battery of tests and came up with ADHD. He was taken back to Dr. Robertson and she just changed his meds. This medication made him way worse.
When my daughter called to get her advice, her receptionist was, once again very rude. After I spoke to him, she did call my daughter. The call was just to quit being his psychiatrist. Never did he get a full visit $100 for 30 minutes. She has got to be the worst doctor on this planet. We plan to report her to the medical board. STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM HER. SHE IS A QUACK.

SHE IS THE BEST PERIOD. You will not find a more appropriate Addiction Medicine Psychiatrist ANYWHERE. I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Elizabeth Roberts, M.D. at Balboa Horizons Recovery Services; a Substance Abuse and Mental Health Detox/Residential Treatment Center in Orange County, Costa Mesa, California. Dr. Roberts truly believes in helping clients maintain long term sobriety.
One of the things I love about Dr. Roberts her belief in safe and healthy non-addictive alternative medications. She gives clients as much time as they need with her. She is extremely thorough and detailed in her evaluations. She respects the patients preferences. I have witnessed countless Dr Roberts patients maintain abstinence from addictive substances. She is truly a gift!

What a mistake it was to take my son to see this woman. She was rude, dismissive and snarky. She told me in front of my son (while snickering) that he was just an angry child and that you "can't turn a ship on a dime". To which I told her that I didn't expect to "turn on a dime, but we have to start moving the wheel now or the 'ship' would never turn".
She wasn't interested in offering any type of help or advice. This was several years ago and I've thought about that experience a million times. That was when my son was about twelve. When he was in High School, he close him to suicide too many times to not replay those important conversations over and over. Now he is twenty-one and is in a MUCH stronger, happier place.
I am so elated to hear him laugh these days. But in the days when I needed help, this woman, Elizabeth Roberts, was NOT a person that I should have EVER taken my son to. She is, in my humble opinion, an uncaring fraud.

The staff is rude and condescending and all the office cares about the your 200.00. It's the first thing they mention and the gentleman who answers their phone is so rude it's unreal. I wonder of its just the staff or if Dr Roberts condones this unprofessional behavior. Either way we will be going elsewhere. I suggest you avoid this Dr and staff.
