Dr Howard really took the time to get to know us as a couple, understand what were going through, and provide new ways to look at and resolve our conflicts. In particular she used the Gottman method in a way we could understand, and through this approach we have definitely moved forward with a much better relationship and appreciation for each other. We are now very much optimistic about our marriage and looking forward to the future. Bottom line: It was hard work, but with Dr Howard's guidance we were able to work through our issues and are very happy clients!

I have more quality of life and fewer flashbacks. You are amazing, Carol.

Instead of just giving me a few things to do and sending me on my way, we problem solved together. She took the time to explain why specific interventions would work in a way that was easy to understand, what I could expect and how to implement changes in a way that worked with my life. I left Meg's office after our first visit with a sense of renewed confidence and an easy to prepare recipe for dinner that night! As I continued to work with Meg, she uncovered the source of health issue that had bothered me for years and coached me through making a change I didn't think I could make.

My wife and I went to Carol for help with our marriage a few years ago, and she made us both feel very comfortable, listened to everything we had to share, and helped us find solutions (we're still happily married!) to our issues. Since then, I have seen her personally, and sought her professional opinion and assistance regarding a range of people and relationships in my life. She has always gone above and beyond to help us, and help me, find resources and solutions to the challenges life has presented us. We are very grateful for everything she has done for us!

This crook kept me for an additional day at the hospital because he said a Dr. had reported they heard me making statements indicating I was homicidal. I was not even suicidal much less homicidal. He was trying to railroad a mental health nurse to inpatient care because I guess maybe he was behind on his car payments. He asked me three times during the first interview what I did for a living. You think he would remember if someone told him they were a mental health RN but not this genius. I was in for pain and CMH did a mental health screen and cleared me. Then the NP later told me since Mark assessed me he could override the CMH recommendation. Of course they did not tell me this prior to seeing this liar. I will never step foot back in a McLaren as a patient. I will be going to Munson in Gaylord or Traverse city. I find it hard to believe this guy has so many good reviews, I question the veracity of these reviews. They cannot possibly be real. He provided substandard clinical performance with clearly questionable medical judgement and honesty to be frank. He was dismissive of my statements and he talked at me more than to me trying to build his BS case for homicidal ideation. He lacked professional conduct as his approach to medicine was highly questionable and unprofessional, he actually called me a liar when I denied homicidal ideation and told him he was a quack. He yelled it as the nurse was pulling the monitor away from my bed. His dismissive attitude and unprofessional conduct compromised the patient-physician relationship. It was all BAD, it is as simple as that. I honestly cannot say one good thing about him. I only saw him twice but he made and cancelled multiple appointments throughout the day and I saw him LATE. UNACCEPTABLE! Even my nurse said he was horrible. The NP that was caring for me overrode this MOMO's recommendation and I was discharged to home at the end of the second day on the trauma floor. I have patients on the behavioural health unit I work on tell me that ER nurses and doctors as well as psychiatrists and CMH screeners lie about what they say all the time, I was skeptical regarding this possibility but now I know this definitely happens. What is way more common though is the patients telling me that ER staff tell them they can either get out after 72 hours or they can leave whenever they want. Then once they get on the unit they find out the truth. This is exactly what happened to me. I was told I would leave the next day after a MRI was performed but this was not the case. This experience has made me change my specialty in nursing as I refuse to work for a behavioural health unit, I do not want to be any part of the broken mental health system in this country. You have been warned.
