Douglas Gardens Community Mental Health Center

“Five star operation at Douglas Gardens. Special thank you to John-Paul for being an excellent case worker. Very professional staff and prompt replies. Helped forward my records with ease.”

“I was a patient at Douglas Gardens for over 10 years. Although they do have very dedicated and helpful front desk staff, case managers who go out of their way to help patients with a variety of challenges, an on site pharmacy that provides low cost medication, you still get what you pay for which is doctors who simply could care less about your welfare, will spend an average of five minutes per visit asking the same questions and will follow the same routine without ever questioning if perhaps a patient who is not improving needs a different approach. I was treated by a psychiatrist who simply decided that she was right, she knew better, she was not to be challenged, did not welcome any feedback that contradicted her diagnosis. When I express my frustration regarding lack of improvement and side effects she eventually made it a personal matter and decided to terminate me without notice, with no plan B, no refill, thus leaving me at risk of severe withdrawal syndromes. She refused to honor my last appointment and basically washed her hands of what might happen to me. This is a typical case of ego over duty that endangers patient's lives. DO NOT GO THERE. The savings are not worth the risks. I am filing a complaint against this doctor.”

“I go to their drop in center, and they let me do all kinds of exciting art work on their post boards for the Fall season.This kind of Creative Therapy does wonders for my soul. A very pleasant, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment to make meaningful and friendly social connections with other like-minded people! If you have unreasonable and distorted expectations, then surely you'll set yourself up for disappointment and feel left out. With the help of psyche medicine and talk therapy, I was able to put myself together with their guidance. Time heals the scares, and so, also the people there assist you with help to heal from warped and distorted realities! Thank you D.G.C.M.H.C. for making my life livable again!”

“Helped to heal from major Depression with psychotic features through the monthly regimen of prescription medicines. I have been a client with them for years and their Social Rehabilitation program gave me the self-love and knowledge to put my shattered life back into a function and self-respect. My younger life brought me a lot of distorted thinking and loneliness. Through perseverance, I arose above the pain and set-back of a divorced and dysfunctional family. thank you Douglas Gardens for putting up with me, when I could not even put up with myself. They really care!!! James W.”
