While better than other facilities, better does still not mean good. My family member, and other Hispanic patients they interacted with, where treated with less deference than their other patients. While they might be the minority in this facility, they still deserve the same respect and ability to participate in group discussions. My family member also recalls that the staff kept encouraging a vegetarian patient to eat meat to raise a vital of hers. Our first visit we were allowed to keep our personal belongings on us. On our second visit we were told quite brusquely that we were not allowed to keep them during our visit. Visiting hours are strict, a staff member goes down and any time they dawdle going down the elevators is deducted from your visiting time. While 15-20min might not mean anything to them, it could mean a lot to someone who has to take 2 buses and a train or a $20 Uber to be there on time... and for them to just waste your precious time with your loved ones. That is not fair. Make sure your children are aware of their rights in this facility, that they review any paperwork they sign. Ask if there is any way you can minimize their stay at this hospital. Report any trouble with their roommates, lest they be blamed for causing trouble themselves.

My daughter went for behavioral issues. The staff there was very courteous and professional. The place was clean. I liked this establishment, though I have a few issues. 1. How is a doctor to diagnose a child when they have not spent enough time with said child. 2. The doctor prescribed my daughter medication and it was stated by 5 different pharmacies they didnt carry the medication, I contacted GPH and no one seems to care that my child has not had her medication. The hospital is great, but when dealing with medication issues, this hospital need to be more caring, concerned, the only thing said to me is they havent seen the doctor, and they will give her the message.

I am leaving this review for my brother who spent a week there recently. My brother entered as a minor case of depression and this hospital clearly does not help. Staff are not cooperative and are often rude and absurd. You are let "outside" less than prisoners. And severe isolation can drive anyone insane. To add to this, outside is a small playground with 15 foot high wooden fences treating patients like dogs. Anything and I mean anything that the staff does not expect from you gets you injected in the ass to make you drowsy. Warning! Staff are not afraid to show sass repeatedly and will try to manipulate the patients psychological behavior with ass injections.

NEVER coming back here. Joseph S. was extremely rude to me and spoke to me like I was stupid. Hospital are supposes to be filled with caring people... I guess Joseph never go the memo.

My daughter was in this hospital for 8 days. She left as a new person. She felt better and happier. Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. I love the waiting room.
