  Very difficult to get nurses attention when they're at the desk. There could be six of them standing there and you come up to the window and they all ignore you. Female nurses tend to not come out from behind the counter where as male nurses are seen on the floor all the time. Male nurses also seem to be more friendly. I felt the doctor I had with pushing me to go home before I was ready and I was just charged before I felt I was ready. Overall not too bad replace some activities to help keep you busy. Food was good.

  Hard to rate a hospital... if you are there as a patient that sucks... if you are there as a visitor that also sucks...

  Poor living environment. Grounds and buildings haven't been updated or properly maintained in along time. Security is an even bigger joke. Staff don't appear to really care too

  The reason you don't get honest reviews here is because noone who was humbled there and learned quickly when it was a minor disorder, fixed the rest of their life in 2 months and can live an entirely sane life because of the place, a lot of it is who we voted in and the dropped funding and the laws we chose to place. I am not going to speak out on those now. I will speak out on the positive as mine was a short stay because I'm sorry, I wanted to ****ing understand why I couldn't sleep for 3 days at an end and they fixed it because I study the medical field and brain mapping works. It makes it easy and a safe place to medicate someone exactly to the T without the chance of permanent side affects nor death. A lot of medication thrown onto people not put into a hospital visit account for the deaths we don't hear calculated often. Instead, let's hold back and be enlightended. K wow, within a 2 weeks I slept like a normal person just because I was tough enough to go yeah and stay there to get help to sleep normal. Okay got everything diagnosed but the reality is if you are nice to everyone, all the nurses and doctors are nice to you. They are there to help you. That's why I would rate 5 stars. Also, they are the only hospital I've attended who actually has a really good kitchen staff, helping keep patients a lot saner on a bad day. Simply put, they have to make sure they safely figure it out for sure before they throw medication in you. That's why so many people review poorly and reject it, because of the stigma and what they think is a tv drama that's not actually happening. Its not like tv at all. They even have floor hockey at this place. Yes, I played floor hockey there when I was young getting diagnosed and yes they actually kept it safe and fun. Result? it was part of the fitness program among other programs. Its all about helping people. Also, the amount of successful volunteer work that goes through that place is baffeling. I'm amazed at the volunteer staff. Personally now, I can achieve my goals and finish Medical transcribing among anything because I can sleep to do so. Forget if you think people will judge you for having an easily fixable problem by modern science. If medication helps you, take it the same time every day and make use of what helps you today.
