    As much as Dr. Eden told me that she took an oath to "do no harm", she clearly doesn't apply that…read moreto her own behavior. I'm not sure what kind of psychiatrist allows a distressed person to just walk out of her office with no suggestions, after denying treatment, but I would avoid Dr. Eden. I was her patient 20 years ago, and I recalled her being cold but good. Now it seems that she has forgotten what she set out to do. People really have a hard time going into counseling anyway, but her office did not help.

    It's been about 16 years since I have been here but I wanted to add onto the reviews with my own…read morehorrible experiences. Although I did not see Dr. Eden, I saw the associates, one of which was still there. These people have caused lasting damage to my well-being. My experience here is the standard by which I measure the entire system now and my distrust of it. Let's just say you will get through the gauntlet of cold and money-ready receptionists to get medication thrown at you within five minutes, then have all your thoughts shot down. The doctor was always late and there was always a very uncomfortable feeling just being in that lobby - because it was a horrible place where I never felt respected as an individual or as a client. One time, my doctor was gone for the day and I had to see the other doctor for some reason. I brought some ideas and he immediately shot them down to recommend some horrible diagnosis that clearly is not true, given that the disease (CDD) would have killed me by now if it was. He did not know me, but he felt comfortable just throwing this out there and not explaining it. Awful. They don't care about what they do to people. This is on top of my regular doctor recommending her diagnoses. One time, I had to do an ADD test. The tester said I didn't have it, but that didn't stop her from pushing it. Other than that, there was no explanation of why anything was done or how things were supposed to change. You are just there to pay money and get drugs. You wait 30 minutes for a late doctor to give you drugs after five minutes. Then, she threatened to have me imprisoned because I wouldn't answer a dumb question she asked... at that point, I was fed up and knew I was done with this place, so I started laughing at her question, which she did not take kindly too. Whatever. These people weren't listening, anyway. Do no harm? I no longer believe psychiatry is capable of that. I have had enough bad experiences, but this is by far the worst. This place sucked then and it looks like it still sucks now, so don't risk your sanity here. I regret it to this day.

    After waiting over 1 month for my initial appt the VA told me that this office is now closed. I'm…read morenot sure if that is true or if they simply don't want VA patients. See text message thread from the Fairlawn office.

    Gave the very strong impression that they were much more concerned about getting paid than helping…read more We saw Dr. Molina in their Akron office. Their video conference software for the $350, one-hour psych intake appt failed, and we ended up doing that call by phone. Dr. Molina was in a huge rush to get off that call--even though it should have been an hour--that it was disconcerting for us. He hung up after half an hour, leaving a lot our questions unasked and unanswered. The followup appointment was supposed to be in person. We drove 45 minutes to get there, only to learn that Dr. Molina had cancelled his in-person appts for the day, and no one had bothered to notify us. We had even scheduled it further out than desired so it could be in person, if I remember correctly. In the end, they sat us in a grubby office with an old laptop, and we did the appointment that way. On top of which, Dr. Molina's medication recommendations were neither useful nor evidence-based. Would not recommend. There are psychiatrists out there who are in it for the people and (not just) the money--find one of them.
