I was advised there was not a female provider that I could see. When I mentioned scheduling elsewhere with a female provider, I was advised that I could no longer see the provider I was scheduled with at this clinic, and would need to pay $200 for canceling my appointment that they made me cancel because I was uncomfortable. The receptionists are very rude and unprofessional. Once you mention going somewhere other than to their clinic, they treat you terrible. I would advise going LITERALLY anywhere else.

I decided to switch to a dr in Des Moines after being with a fantastic dr in Ames's but I made a…read moremistake by choosing this clinic. I went for medicine management. I did not feel listened to. The second time I saw Brian, his shirt was inappropriately unbuttoned and untucked, he seemed hungover maybe (?) and the final straw on the camels back was that he got my doses incorrect. He read my medications out loud and the doses he had were totally incorrect. I corrected him but when I recently went to pick up one of the meds, the dose was way off! What should have been 10mg was 25mg!!! The front desk staff is friendly and really easy to work and schedule with. I chose this clinic because of their hours but I will not be going back. I have found a different dr in DM who is an MD. Maybe Brian is good for one or two meds but if you're case is more complex, I do not recommend. I cannot speak for the therapy staff.

After complaining several times we learned that she left due to conflicts with staff and apparently it's a common occurrence, Des Moines is a small city and here we are ! she is not engaging, not prepared and is by no means an expert in any type of mental health treatment, what a joke!

Well, I had ran into Thomas the man that runs this program a couple days ago and he had the nerve to ask me to remove my one star rating to make him look better to make his program look better. This is unacceptable. When I met Thomas, I explain to him how important my sobriety was and he put people in my path That actively drink and use marijuana. This is not acceptable from the outside. This looks like a wonderful program. I'm telling you be cautious. My sobriety is the most important thing to me and I was better off on my own because I had control over who was in my life this program put people that were actively using in my path
