Best Psychiatry Centers In Kansas City Near Me

Mick Jagger: Research Psych Ward is Pure Evil To Their Patients.

Gemima Rigby: Next to KU, this psych ward is the worst. The most scary and dangerous patients are placed together in an impossibly small facility. During my first time here years ago when I had a nervous breakdown due to life stress, I actually had a psychiatrist make fun of me and a nurse read my diagnosis and symptoms out loud.A woman completely lost it and got violent after being told she couldn’t have cigarettes, and barricaded herself inside of a room. On my second stay years later when I was severely depressed, another patient climbed over the nurse’s station and screamed like a wild animal.While the first time I technically got better, the meds they had me on obviously didn’t cure me as I would have to continue mental health treatment in the future. For some reason many people think that this facility is the “go to” treatment for mental health in KC but it isn’t.Sadly the mostly incompetent staff and sub-par facilities aren’t all to blame, as the type of clientele that sometimes needs help in Kansas City are often uneducated, ignorant and on serious drugs. They get thrown in here with everyone else instead of being placed in long-term facilities like halfway houses, rehabs, group homes, etc.So don’t expect to get help while you are here.

Shelly Donovan-Crenshaw: My brother is dead because of their negligence. After an overdose, they sent him home with no medication for his depression. He was dead within weeks. This place, I wouldn’t take a dog to visit let alone put a human being. This place should be shut down. Nothing but horror stories

Trudy Ferguson: My daughter got admitted in here. She called me and her husband and wanted us to bring her some cloths and see her. I don't know if she didn't know or she forgot to give us a 4 digit code. ( which we didn't know we had to have)I go to the facility and ask to see my daughter. She asks whats the 4 digit code. I said 4 digit code? She said yes. I said how do I get it.?She said only the patient can give it out that she should have given it to me when she called. .She suggested that I call back on the number she called me from which is what all patients use) I rang and rang and rang and rang.. so I got back to the lady and tell her I can't get an answer. I asked so scan I just leave her clothes? She said no because of the hippa law. .I have tried that number over and over and over and over and no answer at many different times. So now I have no way to get ahold of her to get the code.I'm hoping she doesn't think I didn't want to see her or bring her cloths.So if you have a loved one go into here. Make sure when they call they give you a 4 DIGIT CODE.She's been in there now going on 48 hours. And I still hear nothing.

Kara Lowe: The mental health pods at Research are living hell. There were people jumping on the beds and pounding on the walls they were so frustrated and stir crazy. I was so upset all I could do is cry. An older nurse, Pam, was repeatedly abusive to patients. She called one patient a “mother fucker” and was denying several patients food. I had to give them mine just so they had something to eat. This experience caused me significant trauma. Who knows how anxious and traumatized the others are. The old lady Pam needs to hurry up and retire or be fired because she’s not suited for that kind of work

Marcus: Horrible experience, definitely seems this place is made to break you down to no more than livestock. No windows in some wings, staff talks down to everyone. Food from cafeteria is 10/10 though

Kody Evans: Ended up there as a result of a medical protocol. Helpful staff and the food is truly a 10/10

Tammy McNiel: If I could give this place zero Stars I definitely would this is the most horribly ran facility I have ever seen in my life not in my total life but yeah this place absolutely is hands down the worst if anything I think they would add to your mental health not help it! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR ANYBODY YOU LOVE OR CARE ABOUT!!!!!!!!!

Jennifer Oglesby: I was here in 2020 twice. Research has a good environment, good food, good staffing and good doctors. Their was a lot of chaotic behaviors among the other clients, and the way staff handled it was VERY professional. I enjoyed my two stays here. Staff met your needs, and even went above and beyond for the clients. Staff brought in treats for the clients (even when we didn’t deserve it). This is the best mental hospital in the KCMO area. I definitely recommend this to anyone and anybody suffering from mental health issues.

Melanie Sage: wing, and I questioned the purpose of this until it was revealed the new room would actually be in the male wing. I'm legally female.During group I was asked if my now legal name was my "real" name. Another patient picked up on the microaggression and demanded an apology on my behalf. They were taken away and injected with a sedative.#justTransThings-endAt no point did I say I was planning to kill myself. This was an involuntary stay. This could be my final review, since involuntary stays are associated with an extreme increased risk of actual suicide. Don't do it!The website says that individual therapy is provided, and every professional I spoke to prior to admission confirmed that it was guaranteed daily. After admission I was told it was not guaranteed. I never received individual therapy.I tried to discuss suicidal thoughts in group, but I was shushed by the group leader and told not to say things that might trigger other patients.Group therapy consists of activities such as shooting baskets, drawing, listening to music, and playing UNO. I can do that at home. There are sometimes psychoeducation classes in which the provider passes out an information sheet and we read what's on it. Save yourself $6000 and just google "therapy techniques worksheets". We did get led through an exercise by a practitioner who confessed a lack of knowledge about polyvagal theory, instructing us to use methods suited for hyperarousal after all of us stated we were in hypoarousal. According to polyvagal theory, doing this will maintain the depressed state.I received an intramuscular shot (estrogen

Sarah Beard: Love the lack of information on their website. I just called two separate phone numbers to get more information on the unit I stayed in. There is nothing. If you wind up in the transitions unit good luck. Those few days were incredibly traumatizing. For those who are unaware- the transitions unit is above vine. There is no description of the transitions unit anywhere on the website. I cried for days looking out a fog covered mirror. I almost got beat up. The nurses are bad - the doctors are worse. If you care about someone or yourself- do not go here.

Anne Menoscal: All staff from the regular emergency room hospital to the psychiatric hospital have been nothing but helpful, courteous and bending backwards to help the family and patient as a whole thank you.

Stacy Fremin: Not sharing publicly.

Rob Anstine: I checked in with a bleak outlook on life and the world around me. I had a breakdown and was having ideations of self harm.When I tell you that RPC helped me, please understand that the breadth of my meaning is that I have experienced hope for the first time in longer than I care to remember.If you are experiencing any ideations of self harm, of harming other, or you're so overwhelmed that can't seem to function, please please please consider checking in here. If you put in the work, you might surprise yourself

Cheesy Habibi: Best mental hospital that I've been to and probably my favorite. The food and staff were great and they didn't treat me as a child since I was 13 and it was really nice

Jared Diehl: Overall I did not have a really bad experience here. I was in a horrible episode in November 2012 and the first time I ever went to a hospital was this place. I had lived in Kansas City for 8 years. I don't remember the name of the doctor I had but I wasn't sleeping for a couple of weeks and with some meds after 3 days there I felt better and slept. It happened to also be my birthday( nov. 13th). The staff were helpful but like I have experienced in other hospitals everyone is busy. It seems like people can only talk to you for a few minutes and this is a horrible thing to experience. When you are suffering you need connection. I went back to this hospital a month after the first time and the second time there was way worse than the first. I look back and know it was all because I had gotten off meds and the 8 month time of things being bad..I don't think any hospital would be able to help me it was that bad. Wanted to leave this review to share my story. I also did outpatient program there December 2012 and I wish I could go back and thank all the people I met in that program. The outpatient was much better than being in the hospital. Thank you!

Madison White: I have hallucinations alot and sometimes it takes me a while to figure out what actually going on in the real world apparently staff could not handle that because one of the big security guards he came in he threw me onto a wooden frame for a mattress goes and he sat on me and I told him I couldn't breathe and his exact words were "good that's what I like to hear" there are also people that made out at the end of the hall and staff did nothing about it they acted like they were blind.

ChippyDippy: The staff do seem to care and even helped me through a bad medication reaction, but overall this place felt distant and somewhat cold. I had went to Truman before and didn't feel nearly the amount of coldness as I did here. It seems like everyone just kept to themselves mostly, even the staff sort of. Not to say they weren't supportive, and they were nice and accommodating where it mattered, just felt like the bare minimum? Eh, at least they weren't outright awful so it's not bad.

KålåHōliçYT: This place was amazing. It helped me out for a while but I wished I stayed a tad longer. I just did as I was told and I didnt really heal mentally. I'm doing good now but I wished my past self cared a little bit more.Also that German Chocolate Cake was so freaking good, I miss it to be honest.

sunny humphrey: I went here for a week after my suicide attempt. Had nightmares about this place for months. It is just an escape from reality here. It doesn't help us. It just throws us out back into the world we didn't want to be in. So when you return to your normal life, your numb and don't know what to do and then you just keep the cycle of giving up because you weren't supposed to come back home. You were supposed to die. I'm just being honest. I haven't even been mentally stable sense. I struggle with depression and anxiety that's gotten a lot worse. I could literally keep going on about teens mental health. I'm no expert but I could say I am sense I am a teen and understand other teens on a pretty deep level. None of us are okay and hide it until it's too late. Society doesn't listen when ur suicidal they think you just want attention, and nobody thinks you will do it. But when you attempt suddenly everyone cares that didn't before.

Leslee Trotter: No response.

Deborah Simms: It takes 4 different people and 4 transfers before you get to who you need to talk to and everyone is so rude!

Jana Honeyball: I will just say corruption is in the staff, and an org or agencies vulgar attempt to display "power" and "control" for every single unfortunate being who placed me in the position with falsehoods, theft, and holding back my identity from the authorities, I dont waste my time or tears on those who have no heart, soul, or essence of the universal being. They stole about $300 in clothes phone and my personal belongings. Not that i couldnt replace it... Its just more damage to a mind that is protected in virtue.

j lee: Nice inpatient and outpatient faclity. Staff professional and nice treatment center

Melanie King: Worst mistake I ever made. So much so that I cannot even put it into words properly. In the middle of IOP there was a huge switch up. Changing of counselors/instructors. Mixed information/instructions on who to contact. This caused a great deal of problems. Accusations of harassment. My counselor not being trained enough that they quit as soon as they started. So there was no consistent counseling. Now to the biggest problems. I DO NOT drive far distances or on the highway. I was told my skills class would be in mission. Starting at 6 pm. I told them I would attempt it and see how it goes. Getting done work on time and driving out to mission from nkc during rush hr did not go well. Kept having panic attacks and by the time I would come down it was time to drive home. More accusations instead listening to me. Spoke to two counselors since and both said that it was wrong for them to try and force me to drive out there. Puts my life and others at risk. Another, the billing. I received my first bill on March 24th. Made a payment. The next week made a payment. On the third week I was given a piece of paper, that wasn’t even cut even, letting me know that due to my balance I could no longer attend until it was payment or arrangements were made. Not even 30 days due. They also gave that to me on a weds evening. Oh, and after class. Get that money!! Trying to get in touch with anyone is impossible to discuss anything with. Lastly, watch what you sign when you get discharged. For some reason I was listed for drug and alcohol abuse, which I was there for other abuses. Whelp, now all of a sudden I am untrustworthy!! Been on the same meds for years. Now I am treated like an addict. Thanks for all of the great help and guidance! You really did a bang up job. You best believe I filed a complaint with my insurance company and have been working on how to file with the state.

Shannon McDonald: Lilac N KC has been a true blessing to my daughter, myself, and my family as a whole. We have learned so much in our time with them and continue to do so. On top of the great group therapy sessions, we have also found a wonderful therapist for my teenage daughter. It took a long while to find someone that she trusted and connected with and she has 100% found that here at Lilac. My only regret is I wish we had found the center/home sooner. In my daughters words, "I would recommend Lilac 10 out of 10 times!"

Angela McElfish: Very unprofessional made appointment, did all the work and on day of appointment they failed us no appointment link until 15 min before appointment just to be told my child is to young to be seen there. Do not recommend.

Ian Connelly: My experience at your business was literally the worst therapy I've ever had. It was a bunch of white/affluent women telling each other it's okay to act poorly when you feel bad.

breez: had a most deceptive therapist whom my insurance wisely disqualified from my VA insurance. As a retaliation this therapist used some private information that was no longer valid to create an excuse to harass me as a client . Mis -interpeting an outdated form used to try to implicate me as a serious threat to myself . Which this woman knew better . And after Was trying to find out what the reason was that my insurance , discontinued her. The following morning after most recent appointment there .Police Crisis Intervention Unit . Showed up at my front door at her insistance , just as i was on the phone . Attempting to decypher Theinsurance problem . This was a direct cause and effect in retaliation to my having to stop seeing her . There was no issue , that reflected any concern for my well being .Phoned the of Lilac owner to try to straighten this out , owner was fully supportive of the offending shorter gray haired therapist Debra. Much to my dismay .but the Lilac center is handicap accessible.

Linda Drozd: Total waste of time!!! Took my insurance info, spent over an hour in an intake interview...only then to be shuffled off to person #2 who left a msg with # which was always busy...weeks later...I speak to them to only find out there are no openings..omg!! Why? I could have been dead by now!! Why waste my time!!!!! Smh

Soapz Yt: Very unprofessional never called for my phone appointment amongst various other things like never receiving the materials from the last appointment. Called Lee’s summit office to see what the issue was and to possibly speak to a manager. Susan was very unhelpful did not listen to my concerns and just wanted to reschedule and said that the manager is NEVER available for phone calls. These services are entirely to expense to conduct business like this for mental health!- Response to Lilac center I should absolutely not have to make a Google review to get management help that I needed. Also I keep receiving a billing invoice for services I never received just bad business and money hungry

Angela Munoz: My experience with Lilac Center has been life- changing.The skills I have learned in DBT group therapy coupled with the individual therapy that I have received have allowed me to transform from a state of high reactivity and emotional dysregulation with no will to live into a functional member of a family, a workplace and a community who looks forward to living every day.Transformation like this does not happen overnight or without committed individual effort. I have been with the center for 2 years now and have utilized their services for teenage family members, extended family and couples counseling.The staff of therapists have always been responsive and caring and realistic about services available and potential individual outcomes. During lock-down, the staff went above and beyond setting up virtual spaces for clients to continue to receive services uninterrupted.I see the commitment and dedication of the owners to work to expand services and reach as many in need as possible. I have found the staff at the center to be highly empathetic, genuinely compassionate and firmly committed to restoring balance to unbalanced souls in an unbalanced world.The Lilac Center did not save my life...they provided me with the knowledge and skills necessary to save my own life.

Jenna Lord: I have been going to the Lilac Center for years and it has really helped me get through a lot of painful times.

Chasity Krueger: Very slow response time and counselors do not send requested information to doctors offices. I have been waiting for them to fax information since March and they still have not sent it over a month later. I was also approved for visits with my EAP but was then told by Lilac they do not accept those as form of payment. Good luck trying to reach a live person in the phones!

Brenda Lebsack: This facility is a disappointment. My daughter has attempted to seek counseling there since April/May. Took 6 weeks for just an intake interview. Facility failed to call so we attempted another phone interview which took another 2 weeks. Finally virtual Counseling appointment scheduled 3 weeks later. On day of virtual session, no phone call/no email/no nothing. I followed up with email to counselor who did intake survey. No response, so emailed again to hear she would call me when she had time. Heard back only to be told “sorry this happened, counselor no longer works for us, doesn’t look like there’s any openings in the near future, blah, blah, blah. I told them we would seek treatment elsewhere. Very unprofessional. Waited 3 months for nothing to happen.

Jacob Shively: Dr. Trueblood does not care about her patients. She stopped seeing me without a reason and dropped me after only seeing me for 3 months. I do not recommend anyone to see this woman. Extremely untrustworthy

Alejandro Y: I booked an appointment to have a consultation with someone about using there services. Front desk was unattended and after waiting a few minutes someone finally showed up to get me checked in. No apology and i had to ask about new patient paperwork. I didn't feel a warm welcome from the start. They were friendly, but I had this feeling like I wasn't welcome.The woman I had the consultation with said she would contact me about setting up an appointment with one of their therapists but I never heard back from them. I even had my girlfriend call and ask, but they never got back to her either. Asking myself if i seem too healthy should not be a question i contemplate. Finding help should not be this difficult or shameful.

Brooke Hass: Unorganized. Set up an appointment, went through the (very brief) consultation only to not be followed up with with an appointment with a selected therapist as promised. I called after a couple weeks of never getting that follow up. The receptionist took down the info and assured me there would be a call back. A few days later and I have yet to receive anything. They clearly do not care about mental health. Disappointing.

Shelly Ratzloff: Positive:Communication,QualityExtremely helpful. Ive finally come a long way on the road of true healing, still a ways to go.Amazing.

Angela Bond: The staff are always pleasant. The only down falls are having to reschedule often and the medication refills from the pharmacy. It takes the pharmacy trying to get refills response a long time to get the RX refilled. I have to call the RX line to get the refill taken care of and sometimes that takes a long time to process.

Leah: This place is extremely unorganized. I haven’t even seen an actual therapist yet and I’ve decided not to come here. I asked over the phone and in person (and even checked my own insurance) to make sure I would be covered if I came here. I drove all the way up to their North KC location (also told the receptionist that location is too far) for a 10 minute consultation to actually set up an appointment with a therapist that could’ve been done over the phone. Then I’m told at the end that all of a sudden my insurance will not cover my visits. Then they want me to schedule another appointment. They tried to bill me $115 for a consultation, and when I called, they didn’t even have my insurance on file anywhere even though I gave them my card to copy. Do not come here, they obviously don’t care about your mental health, just your money.

Elizabeth Reiter: Wonderful experience with Amy and looking foward to working with a therapist....so glad I found a place and felt comfortable and safe to Express my thoughts and feelings with Amy...

Jeran Anderson: I have been helped tremendously through group and individual therapy at the Lilac Center. Amy is a very loving and supportive therapist. I have felt constantly supported through my journey with mental illness. I can not recommend the Lilac Center enough.

Jeffrey Jans: For the last 2 years I have Learned and used the skills. Family and friends notice much improvement. Amy is not only an expert she is a patient and excellent facilitator. She is also authentic with her concern for us all. She has a great sense of humor

Breanna Bunch: I am beyond upset with this place. The paperwork is OVERLY repetitive and asks the same questions way too many times. It has to be filled out by hand and taken in to them in person. Fine. Whatever. Done. Over the span of a month and a half or so I have called several times trying to get the status of my paperwork. Until today I'd remain on hold for 10-20 minutes until they answered and hung up on me or they sent me to voicemail. I finally got a person on the phone today and THEY SOMEHOW LOST MY PAPERWORK!? WHAT!? How does this even happen? If you all cant keep track of paperwork allow people to send it online? Like what the heck? I will NEVER recommend this place.

larry meyer: I had a great experience compared to others I’ve been too!

Entertainor: Very happy with my doctor, but abyssmal customer service. Won't respond to messages left by the pharmacy or patient.

terri fletcher: I am a new patient of Dr. Karim's and I have been thoroughly impressed by him and by his staff. I like the telehealth visits which are great so I do not always have to go into the office. Dr. Karin has a great bedside manner and is very professional and caring.

Susan Pullan: I will say, she got my son on the meds he needed so that it was actually pleasant to be around him again. However, this is the worst provider I have ever dealt with. The email with the link to the meeting is never in my email. I get a call before every appointment (sometimes as it is supposed to be starting) saying that the email they have isn't working. I tell them again, magically it goes through.This latest appointment I was scolded because after waiting for 10 minutes I told my son to go finish his school work and I would call him. "He just needs to wait because the same thing would happen if you were coming into the office to see me." Is all she would say. My time is no less important than hers and that was so disrespectful.We were changing the pharmacy to sent the prescription to so I was looking up the address to make sure it went to the right one (we just moved here so I still learning th area). She just kept saying is it north of the river or in independence. I don't freaking know lady that is why I'm looking up the address! She would not just wait while I double check and let asking over and over.. The moment we find a new clinic for this we will be transferring his records for sure.

Brad Hixson: Patty McCoy is an awful counselor, the office staff and customer service is worse. You and especially your child will leave with more problems than you came into with.

RU: This place should not exist

Tiffany Rhodes: I wasn’t going to even waste anymore of my time or energy on this place after my phone experience with the woman who I spoke with. I can’t remember her name, but I’ll refer to her as the “I can’t be bothered lady.” I had called 5 days prior and had to leave a voicemail. Same as my 2nd attempt to call a few days later. She called me back and here’s how the convo went:Her: (Cold, short, I can’t be bothered tone. Entire convo.) Stated her name and basically just asked why I was calling.Me: I’m calling looking for a new psychiatrist.Her: What’s your name?Me: I gave it to her 2-3 times while she did whatever she had to do.Her: Have you been here before?Me: No.Her: Stated she had demographics on me. Asked me again if I’d been there before.Me: No. I don’t recall. Maybe my son.Her: What’s his name?Me: Gave her his name. She went about to rambling about their new computer system. This took up several minutes.Her: (Finally) Well, the first thing you need to do is go online on our website, print off paperwork, fill it out & drop it off here. She never specified which forms.Me: I don’t currently have a working printer. Can you mail it to me?Her: No. You’ll have to come by and pick it up then.Me: I don’t have a vehicle right now. Can you please just mail me the paperwork?Her: (snotty) Then how were you going to get to your appointments?Me: My car tire is flat. It’s a temporary situation. Can you just mail me the forms?Her: Oh, that always stinks (or something very fakey). Well, since it is a temporary situation just come by once you get your tire fixed or ask a friend to print it off for you.Me: I don’t have any friends or anyone to print your paperwork off for me. You can’t just mail the paperwork?Her: No. We don’t mail the paperwork. You have to either print it from our website or come by and pick it up. Her voice trails off in the distance as I keep saying “Unbelievable” out loud.Me: Says nevermind & hangs up.

Bobbi Crockett: It has been 2 years since we were here, i should have made a review then but clearly I can see things simply have not changed. Do NOT see PATTY McCOY, as she acused my daughter and I of lying about her symptoms and medication and kicked us out of the facility. Which apparently come to find out I have since met 2 different sets of parents that attended there and experienced the very same thing. 1 I would NEVER EVER, LIE about my childerens pshyc health or any health for that matter and when we are coming to you in a confidential, vulnerable matter how dare you belittles my child doing it to me is one thing, and mind your she was 7 almost 8 at the time, any age thats wrong!!! It only creates more issues called trust thanks for making here moving on and trusting a doctor again so hard..... Fortunately my daughter has grown greatly and developed an amazing relationship with the same dr she's had for 2 years funny huh, its just sad because there's is several other Dr in this office that is so very friendly and the front staff receptionists work so hard and its usually the front faces that have to face the heat from the ugly heart in the back! I recommend if you got here, see anyone except her!

Traci Bruner (TRA): Don't go to this clinic!

Demon Summoner: i was here 2022 when i was 12 and it was the worse thing ive ever witnessed. they were so nice to me while admitting me in, but as soon as my mom left they yelled at me and told me to stop crying. i was having a really hard time with food and physically could not eat due to anxiety. they weighed me and yelled at me to eat until i threw it up and made me clean it up. the quarenteen room is disgusting it looks like an actual jail cell and the person sitting outside my door told me to stop having an anxiety attack when they told me id be going in an ambulance to a medical hospital away from my mom. they didnt care about me and they are not good at creating a welcoming inviornment. they put me in the same room as a girl not even close to my age who was yelling and cursing. they threatened to give me a feeding tube while i was crying and had no idea what to do with me and said all the wrong things. i was starving and they couldnt do anything to ease my anxiety like they were supposed to do. i was only there for a couple days before i was transferred to somewhere much better but it was the scariest thing that ever happened to me. all they did was make everything worse, they used scare tactics on me and were completely rude and unprofessional..gave me more trauma than when i admitted. extremely trauma uninformed. not to mention that they allowed me to see my weight when they knew very well about my eating disorder.

Ariel Ladesh: I came here back around early 2013, early 2014 I was around 13 at the time and it was a mandatory 10 days day for suicidal thoughts and ideations and self harming. I had to sleep in the children’s area because there was “not enough space“ on top of that in the first three days I watched a girl get tackled and injected with a sedative. Another girl was sobbing uncontrollably, and we were forced to physically look away from her, not interact with her, not talk to her, nor attempt to console her on top of that we were given paperwork multiple times a day, ignoring what our actual difficulties were that put us in there in the first place, getting angry when you pointed it out and making the environment devoid of any sort of positive feedback. This facility put me in a position of genuinely believing I did not have a single person in my life that cared about my safety and especially not medical professionals that were there to make sure I felt safe the food was undercooked and I can sincerely say that for the rest of my life to the point that I am at now, which is 24 I would rather kill myself, then go back to a facility like this one ever again, if you are wanting to send somebody for help take them somewhere else it is not worth the time and energy or money and risking your loved ones safety.

nevaeh. e: if i could give this place 0 stars i would . the staff their really don’t like their job and it’s so obvious . the only staff that i could tell that actually likes their job is ms shelly. the rest of them are so draining and weird . the therapy sessions are so pointless they don’t teach you coping skills that are actually beneficial for yourself. the food their is terrible i lost like 20 pounds just being their for 8 days. it’s pointless if your trying to send your child here i promise you. The video they show on their website is nothing but lies, they show kids going outside and playing when you literally aren’t even allowed to leave the unit half of the time. they overdose you on pills that you don’t need as well . find a place that is actually caring & cares.

Samantha Raymond: I'm abt to go here so

ruby morgan: This place is a nightmare. My son has endured so much emotional abuse in this facility. The staff deprive them of food, call them names and even attempt to attack the children. I think this place needs shut down permanently

tierani smith: I was neglected and abused in this facility. They broke my foot in 3 places, my fibula and made me walk on it. Neglected me when i voiced i was about to pass out, no one helped me, gave me water... nothing, in fact a man stood and watched me do it with not a care in the world. A staff member talked about and made fun of me while I was there as well. Terrible, absolutely disgusting. This was 2 almost 3 years ago, i'm crippled/disabled to this day.

April Lewis: My daughter is only in intake they are very rude horrible people they smart mouth don’t even know what they are talking about they are very disrespectful and they are very rude telling you about your kid they know nothing about they try and make you keep your kid her for the Medicaid do not send your kids here this place is horrible he told me that 50 people are lying about the same reviews says they all mad about the same things that happened with differently people no it’s this place don’t send your love ones there I have conversations between us they are horrible

CJ Johnigan: Miss Celeste, miss grace and miss Carsen really helped and took care of me throughout my stay here. So glad this is where I went

Cs Nasty: The treatment I received here caused me permanent developmental damage. I can say this confidently after 10 years.I was a straight A student athlete before I was under St. Luke's treament.If you need someone to spell it out for you: This is NOT the place to take your children if you want them to get better.These people are still in the metaphorical hacksaw stage of their field of medicine.

Sarah Leslie: Terrible experience all around. I've basically wasted two months of my life for these people to jump through all their hoops only to have problem after problem after problem. And good luck getting a call back.

Haley Fudge: This place was terrible. A blurry nightmare.

Abby: dont go here. just dont…

Luna Headphones: Spent 3 years here from 2016-2018 this place accepts many foster kids and then keeps them as long as insurance will cover for money. Me and almost every person who I knew at the hospital still talks about the trauma we experienced here. From belittling and threats to full on bullying and neglect from the staff and nurses. I was overdosed on almost all of my medications including ones that are dangerous for children (Depakote and lithium) effects of which i still deal with including a autoimmue disorder gang behavior is encouraged by staff a d when I tried to hurt myself while in residential the doctor threatened to ask the cort to approved shock therapy. The only reason I was released was my bio father showing up (which anyone could have known was not a safe place for me to be discharged to.

Shaina Harris: Horrible.... don't help with the kids at all.

Audrey Patterson: Please don't send your kid here. Send them to center point or whatever its called

Ashton Valentine: This hospital traumatized me. I lived with flashbacks everytime I heard sirens for years. I had an attempt on my life and then was sent to Crittenton. I was on max doses of three different meds before I went. They took me off all of them cold turkey. I could've died, and I was very sick...couldn't walk, throwing up everything I ate. They would take patients clothes and put them in gowns when they were misbehaving. A trans girl on my unit was misgendered and told they'd call her a girl when she acted like one. They planned my discharge without talking to my parents, the only way they knew I was going home was when I told them on the phone. Please, PLEASE do not send your children here. It is the worst childrens psych hospital in Kansas.

Kanga: I was in unit 9 in december of 2016 when my all girls ward had to accept a male patient who was beat almost to death, completely unrecognizable in the face, because the hospital would not send him to receive actual medical treatment. I have not been able to truly think about this experience because it was so traumatizing to think about. only saw a therapist once in my 5 day stay, the hospital "nurses" just sit on there phones all night at full blast while everyone was trying to sleep at 8pm, making abusive comments towards any patient having an actual crisis because of the disgusting abusive conditions we were put in.

Jason Hiddleston: I can't remember if this is the place or not but I was admitted here when I was 9. I tried to run away and got taken here and my mom had no choice in the matter on whether I would go or not. I was taken by ambulance. I kept telling them. "I'm not supposed to be here!" And I kept repeating "I want my mom" over and over while crying in the corner of the room. I never stopped crying for one moment when I was there. I was so upset that I was there that I vowed to not eat until I get to see my mom because I hated being there with a passion. I don't remember how the staff team was but I do remember one thing. The only person who actually listened to me was this really kind black lady that was just so sweet. I'm pretty sure that she was the reason I got out of there in a day instead of a week like it was supposed to be. So for that I thank you. Whoever you are. I have nightmares sometimes about this place. It was truly traumatizing and it always lingers in the back of my head.I hate this place with a passion

/ᑕᒪᗴᗰᗴᑎTIᑎᗴ: No💖. For one their food was horrible and one time they MADE someone talk about their trauma in front of everyone and were denying the person's feelings because the staff didn't understand what they were saying and when they said exactly what had happened they were crying and they got upset as a normal person would be and got put on this thing called restart which probably made things worse and there was what looked like a camera on the mirror pointing right towards a shower so yeah i wish this place would just close down oh also sharing your social media isn't a hippa violation a hippa violation is sharing personal information of other people stop giving more trauma to people who come in here

Tziporah Schefter: I was there twice years ago, when I had no choice. It was a disaster. Staff would expect you to get better but then make fun of, belittle and shame you for anything they didn’t like. For example, hurting myself and talking loud. It was impossible to sleep because staff would be on their phones and computers all night without headphones. The second time I was there, we asked for me to get tested for mono when all the other blood work was done. They said they did and I was negative. Months later, found out I DID have it and had it for months before. That spiraled into a massive slew of health issues; all from their negligence (Epstein Barr virus can very rarely mutate and cause things like autoimmune diseases). The doctors were incompetent, just threw random meds at you. They put me on one that is not safe to take with a med I was already on and I had massive neurological issues while on the medication. When I was ready for discharge, they never notified my family and just waited for them to call. Intake process takes hours.Horrible facility.

Steven Finell: My wife just completed a 30-day "stay" at KU's Strawberry Hill mental "health" facility. Last night, with freezing rain, they gave her a taxi voucher and discharged her, without a "safe" place to go. Despite the fact her trauma stems from childhood trauma resulting from growing up with an angry and abusive drunk father, that's where they pushed her to go, without any pre-arrangement. She ended her cab ride at his house. He wasn't home or he chose to not answer the door.Despite an Order of Protection keeping her away from our house and family, she believed she had no place else to go.With no money and no working phone, she walked 11.5 miles from Merriam to Western Shawnee, in the freezing rain.She walked in the door hypothermic and with bleeding blisters on her feet. Coming home was not an option and her "case manager" at KU Strawberry Hill was well-aware.I patched her up, let her sleep on the couch and took her to the ER of a real hospital.KU Strawberry Hill kicked my wife, the mother of our children, to the curb - without any regard for her safety.My children are traumatized, to say the least. Any progress achieved over the last 30 days of her hospitalization has been entirely eviscerated. She's actually more suicidal since she was kicked out yesterday. She just uses different words to express that.Her "case manager" at Strawberry Hill, Stephanie Mayberry, said she tried placing her in a long-term mental health nursing facility however, was unsuccessful as she doesn't seem to be familiar with the necessary steps to qualify such an inpatient arrangement and get it done. She told my wife she had a place lined up only to explain there was a "miscommunication."KU Strawberry Hill and her treatment team is incompetent and seemingly incapable of addressing serious mental health concerns such as my wife experiences. This was her third "stay" there.Despite having a DPOA for my wife, I was left almost entirely out of her discharge planning (no meeting, just a phone call threatening to discharge my wife "to the street" if I didn't pick her up). They were acutely aware of the Order of Protection, as her "case manager" was present on the video call court appearance. The "case manager" told the judge she had a transfer working and anticipated it would take a week for the transfer.KU Strawberry Hill's, and their staff's, willful negligence has traumatized my entire family and left my wife more unstable than she was when she was admitted.Their actions are unconscionable and reprehensible.

Nicole Coon: Stayed for five days. Fast responsive complete care.

shawn Boelter: Excellent, professional and caring staff. Saved my life. I give it 5 stars and highly recommend.

King_Of_The_Clouds_Fin High: Mean nurses good nic patches 👍

A. Keylon: We have been trying to get ahold of a nurse to find out about my bro and no one will call us back!!!!! a little upset to say the least.

Fin High: Honestly pretty cool thanks for keeping me alive for three days and two nights 👍🙂

40 Hwy Auto Plaza: I had to visit this 1 time and I got some things out of it I just think they rush you to get out of there to fast if you can change mental health in 5 to 14 days then everyone should be fix it's impossible to fix anyone that quickly it takes 21 days to break a habit.and that's a none fact.

Rainor Shine: Unfortunately I CHOSE to go to Strawberry Hill over returning to another facility. This was one of the worst decisions I’ve made. The staff always seem annoyed , they talk badly about the patients, they’re lazy and they mix dangerous people with those who aren’t. And it’s dirty!! How can your mental health get better when you’re feeling afraid, intimidated and threatened by violent people?

Jenni Nelson: NOT a hospital with ER. I went here for an injury but found out this is a psychiatric facility. DONT go here for an ER because there isn’t one.

Rob Zee: Excited for the new hospital. Definitely going to provide the necessary help for people need and care.
