John Romano, if you get wind of this, listen up! I was brought here involutarily!!

The "helpful staff" are supposed to answer any and all concerns directly from the patients. Let me tell ya, it's
extremely difficult to get their attention. It's like they are talking to each in their own little world most of the time.

The doctors are quacks, prescribing LETHAL medications to any and all patients they see fit!

The doctors ask the same 10 questions EVERY TIME!

The medication line smells like DEATH. It's extremely unhealthy to breathe in!
It's right near the dinner/breakfast/lunch line.

Very, VERY poorly designed institution!

The "spell check" on this website is as if it were written by a SIMPLETON!

Overall

Completely dissatisfied, horrified, disgusted, frustrated, regretful to have taken our child there.

Our 8 yr old. girl , with NO prior behavioral problems what so ever, was medicated with a sedative in spite of our request she not be medicated in any way without our written permission.

We were told that upon admittance her urine would be tested for drugs, which didn't happen until two days later and at our demand. We feared she may have been slipped a drug that had caused auditory hallucinations. The "reported" urine analysis came to late to prove anything.

At 8 years old she was subjected to group therapy and free time with teen age children and exposed to their dramas. Very unprofessional. Not much more than a lock down facility sucking off insurance companies. Not deserving of any star.
