Sullivan County Department of Community Services Mental Health Clinic

“I was A little skeptical at first I started off Dr. Hamilton who helped me get off of Xanax after I found my mom dead in my bed. When she had come to vist to go Christmas shopping December 12 she arrived and then she watched my children, so me and my husband can go the following day. I had a feeling something was wrong, but I didn’t know what because she lived in Long Island and I lived in Connecticut she would take the ferry, but my daughters with her happy place and I know in my heart she knew where she wanted to be because my mom is never the one to play with kids outside all day. The only time she would go outside was to go to the beach by herself by 7 AM and she would stay until about 1130 because when it got crowded she had annoyed and went home , I had cameras and she was outside all day with my one year old who was her pride and joy who is now five and my other two playing baseball me and my husband left around 12 and got home about five we ate Wendy’s. She went upstairs we had conversation , and then I had the monitor in my room. She slept with my daughter because of the time she had her little toddler bed. She wanted to stay with grandma so we pushed the bed together and she was snoring. Funny and woke up the baby which never happens from then on , I knew something was wrong. I should’ve called the ambulance but I called her fiancé and he explained to me that she was put on medication and told me to just let her rest when I knew I should’ve called the ambulance. Her last words to me were it’ll be OK I promise , I love you and that was around 1 AM at 6:45. I want to wake up my older daughter for school briefly check the monitor, and her hand was hanging off. The bed went to check on her and she was dead. four years i was on xnax because I couldn’t deal anand I feel like 1 million bucks not having that handcuff after setting up a specific goal that I started with Dr. Hamilton in November, I saw him three times and I went to make my fourth appointment in January. He was gone now I got thrown with another doctor and let’s just say not what I signed up for and it’s not fair with these people do, not even tell me the doctor started with who took me off medication. I was on for four years too help me and then just leave and throw me with somebody else who knows nothing about me. Try to tell me they want me to come every week, not happening I didn’t do anything I’m being mistreated and it’s against the law.”

“I usually dread going here, because of the atmosphere. For someone who suffers from mental illness, I get very anxious when I have to call a week before I need an appointment. The only person working at the front desk, that will truly help make sure you are seen when needed is Sunny. I had a horrible time today trying to get an appointment, a woman that must be new, with a spanish accent could not help me. All she said is they were full on the two days I am able to be seen before running out of my meds. Now I get to sit here more anxious and worried. The only bright side of having to be seen here, is Nurse Michelle. She is the highlight of my visit. She is very warm and welcoming, and always makes sure my needs are met. Dr. Salgunan is a very hard working doctor, that I feel is over worked. I always feel bad for him. He tries to see everyone around there appointment time, but because of back to back appointments, the wait is long. This is not the doctors fault, because he wants to actually hear how everyone is doing, and make sure they are feeling their best. Now I will sit here for the next couple of hours trying to control my mind.”

“I really appreciate all the services I have been provided so far. I was not in good shape emotionally. The support services., such as...therapeutic counseling,, medical and treatment plans have helped me with my history of severe anxiety and depression. It's true, at times, I've had to wait to be seen; or the doctors have occasionally need to respond to mental health crisis. It's sad to have so many of their employees leave us. My therapist resigned. Hopefully, they will assign me to someone else. Under the different circumstances that happens, I will recommend this place to anyone that is in need of mental health. Out of five stars, I rated them with four stars.”
