Yesterday, Monday April 20, 2026 I had appointments scheduled with Coleman on 527 W. Market st. Suite 200 in Akron - 44303.
My first appointment was with a young woman at 9 am TODAY for counseling.
When I had my first time in take with her we discussed I could have tele health calls if needed. & text Alerts to remind me (that was proven to be a lie) cos I got neither
So when I scheduled with her AT THE DESK UPON LEAVING I asked for TELEHEALTH AT 9 AM with her for today...she said no problem and added me in for telehealth at 9am.
This was because the same day at 1PM I had another appointment scheduled with a new doctor. A MEDICATION PRESCRIBING DOCTOR... which I needed
I don't drive, so I decided I would find a way to the 1pm with the med doc, cos I have been unbearably depressed & unstable for months and finally found the courage to get help before crisis hit
Well, 9 am came and the therapist I requested for tele-heath never called.
I don't know why but i made sure to get up and get ready for my 1pm appointment
Again-Not one text reminder either, which I DID SIGN UP FOR
We left to head out and went to the wrong Coleman building, the lady there said she would call 527 Market and let them know I was on my way. This was still 10 min prior to my appointment so I felt I had time & I was calling to let them know I'd be there within 5 or less (I really needed to see a doc yesterday)
At the same time the whole ride there I called about 9-10 times with no answer
I got there at 1:04 PM so only 4 min late, with no one at the desk to help me, I had a panic attack while I waited
again I tried to call to let them know but no one ever picked up. Also the lady at the other Coleman tried to call as well..
I then waited for the desk girl to get back from her lunch, which was almost 10 min past 1PM- which my appointment was scheduled for 1PM
I then had to wait 15-20 min in line behind others who inconveniently waited too
when the front desk girl finally got back from lunch, she arrived back almost 10 past 1pm which was my scheduled appointment (why do you schedule appointments for people when your one and only desk girl is on a break? Make it make sense )
When I was FINALLY at the desk to speak I told them what happened and that I really needed this appointment today
It's almost 1:30 now...
I was turned away, feeling stupid and full
Of tears, as the desk lady rescheduled me to yet another week... I already waiting 2 for these appointments
I was then Told by the girl at the desk who arrived back late- it was because she was not at the desk, instead she was "on her lunch break and that's why I can't be seen" essentially...
and why the phone was never picked up and in turn why I ended up having delays
I don't understand how this is my fault.
the doc even came out and said he didn't have time for me... not even acknowledging me, just eating a snack while talking to the desk girl ...incredibly rude and unprofessional
But because the desk girl missed my calls and I had to wait for her to eat her lunch, I missed my appointment...Again, rude and unprofessional..
Why is this place running like a 1 star Burger King?
This is why people don't want to ask for help cos when they do, they have to wait and then they end up in crisis or worse.
I've been in this broken mental health system most of my life and this is the worst treatment I've ever received
I feel like I don't matter
Even the doctor said he wouldn't have time to see me based on things that weren't my fault. Clearly understaffed snd too many clients so I'm sure the care is low
However I did do everything I could to make it and still was turned away
I feel like the service would have been terrible based on this interaction alone and how the staff shows no empathy but apathy to people who truly need help.
Again, I don't drive so this makes getting to appointments hard. I am a disabled person living with cptsd, & depression currently that when bad can lead to severe depressive episodes that at times can turn to psychosis. I suffer from OCD and the thoughts seem to never stop these days causing constant panic and anxiety attacks. I hardly leave my
Home so this was like a slap in my face.
So Thank again for the awful service and making me feel so much worse
I hope maybe in the future you can get your staff on the same page and treat the clients like humans maybe instead of an inconvenience
