I checked in there as a patient because I was suicidal. The psychiatrist, Zhang, released me because he said I was making things up just looking for attention. He asked me the same question 5 times in a 10 minute period. I honestly would not recommend anyone checking in or allowing friends or family to check in. The staff was very rude & inconsiderate
As another reviewer said also - Dr Zhang almost killed me as well! He took me cold turkey off a high dose of one medication and overdose me on another. I had to have a family member sneak pills in to me so I could take doses of the one I was taken off cold turkey so I wouldn't go into seizures.
The staff is indifferent at best and downright hostile at worst. Group therapy is almost nonexistent and most time is spent coloring or watching TV. Any display of depression is met with the staff ordering you to go to your room or they will inject you with medication.
They lied to us and said my son would get immediate treatment for suicidal thoughts. We all agreed he needed help ASAP. He was admitted late on a Friday, saw a doctor for less an hour, given 2 pills and left in the "overflow" ward. This is a place with a constant running tv and 2 jigsaw puzzles. No therapist or doctors visited him on Sat or Sun. To leave a person in severe mental anguish with no treatment is cruel, but apparently profitable.
Really bad.
Best mental health inpatient ive ever been to, but do not go if you do not have insurance. Doctor zhang (or however it is spelled) is the only doctor that doesnt take insurance and is constantly doing malpractice. Because of him i could have died if i did not see the fault in the medications he perscribed to me, and he sent me home even when the night before i said i would kill myself given the chance. He does not care about people, but most of the staff there do.
They asked me three questions for evaluation, lied about what I said, and clearly did NOT care about anything I said. They just want to make money. Go to CenterPointe for anything else instead.
