Im not really sure why it had to happen at the time of my appointment. Sadly, I had to make the difficult decision to put my pet down. I reached out to see if they could offer any leniency with their strict cancellation policy. They had already taken a deposit ($50, if I remember correctly), but then charged me an additional $100 for the cancellation. I tried to explain my situation, but it felt like I was talking to an ai robot person on the phone who kept saying the same thing over and over like a horrible broken record. This kind of response is unfortunately pretty common and probably not surprising. I did find a new friendly psychiatrist who doesn't even have that policy, or atleast after the VERY FIRST TIME. I DIDN'T EVEN MEET ANYONE IN THE OFFICE YET. anyways yeah, i do NOT recommend this place. So thankful there's better out there! :)

This was because her receptionist was unbelievably rude. I couldn't find my insurance card over the phone, and she proceeded to take a tone that came off as needlessly annoyed. It felt like I was wasting *her* time when I tried to book an appointment, and genuinely made me feel anxious. Upon finding out that my insurance wasn't accepted, she began to lecture me on what was taken - notwithstanding that I really didn't care, because I could just pay out of pocket trivially. Perhaps she was having a bad day, maybe she was swamped, maybe she has a lot going on. But her stressors do not belong in that environment. I'm giving the doctor herself the benefit of the doubt since I didn't meet with her, but this is not the first review critiquing terrible staff, and it says a lot that nothing has been done about it.

Yelp shows me a prompt, "what could improve?" Here's my answer: BELIEVE WOMEN. Treat women as if…read moreyou actually believe them. Ask questions in such a way that you signal you are willing to believe. In the early 1970s I was placed in a facility at this physical location. It has changed hands many times. The location and the physical buildings are just as I recall. The people, the management team, the corporate face and name have all changed. I seem to recall it was a general medical facility at that time, but it did have a locked psych ward. Other contemporary reviews suggest the attitude has not changed. I was punished by my mother for being in a deep clinical depression. I was "diagnosed" as schizophrenic (a catch-all back then for "we're clueless.") My mother added language that I was a slut and a liar, etc. I was kept under observation for 2+ weeks, and threatened with electroshock therapy. I slapped a smile on my face and acted like I was perfectly happy to be there, to avoid "treatment." I'm sure it would have been profitable for me to have stayed there much longer. There was another patient in the same locked psych ward, in his 40s or 50s. He had been admitted for treatment to a locked psych ward, where several teenage girls including me were housed. His alternative was jail time, because he was a convicted child molester. Somebody in management must have agreed this was a good idea, and took no precautions to avoid the inevitable. He molested me. I was not stupid. A schizophrenic lying slut would not have been believed. Institutional prestige would have been damaged, revenues compromised. My mother was hell-bent on punishing me for responding as I did to her poor parenting skills. I prioritized my own sanity over justice. I did what I had to, acted adorable, sweet and innocent, and never looked back. Sort of a secular version of "Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey." I needed to get out, and could not risk what I saw as clear signals that I would be disbelieved, and silenced for my efforts. I brute-forced my life back on track, made a number of self-sabotaging decisions that could have killed me, and managed to appear externally successful, although I could have done more in my career. There is no possible apology or remedy for the harm I have suffered. Maybe management is no longer that stupid. Maybe there are good people and good patient experiences to be had. Yelp reviews tend to skew to strongly-held feelings, either good or bad. But the sorts of things I'm seeing in the reviews here make me think there's carryover--whether at this specific place, or in the field of mental health care generally. I am writing this review partly as an amends to my 16-year-old self. This review has taken me literally over 50 years to compose. I also want to flag a possible continued attitude I find horrifying: not believing women. I want to warn people that I have read enough research about the mental health field and how they treat children. I have additional firsthand experience about the failings of the mental health field from my time as a caregiver to my life-partner. (After all the drugs, labels, and shaming for "not doing the work," turns out she was actually early onset Alzheimer's.) I know that my experience was not entirely unusual. You want to improve? Believe women. I was not able to articulate what I was experiencing at that time. But I did know quite clearly what was going on. Believe women.
