I have been a patient here for over 10 years. I have been…read morewith multiple different Provide providers over my time here at Stanbro. Please heed this warning, This is not somewhere you want to go if you are actually looking for help with psychiatric care. this place is what I would call a "pill mill". Here are the following reasons why I will be leaving: The front desk staff has been highly unprofessional over my entire 10 years of coming here. It is quite literally impossible to reach anybody by phone. One time My visit payment was declined, despite having a working card on file. the card somehow "disappeared" and I wasn't made aware until I was trying to refill my prescription. I was told that they would not refill my prescription, despite me re-giving them my credit card and them charging it, I still wasn't able to fill my prescription until I had another appointment. I reminded them that the Medication I was refilling was a high risk medicine to discontinue abruptly as side effects Include seizure and death. whoever refills prescriptions told me that they could do nothing about it and I just had to wait for my appointment. THIS IS ILLEGAL. A psychiatrist cannot legally withhold life-saving medication On the basis of nonpayment. This is called PATIENT ABANDONMENT MALPRACTICE. that did not matter to them. I had to wait for my appointment and suffer through intense and scary withdrawals for three days. When I had my appointment I brought it up and all that was given was a dry apology and "I'll look into it". -(PA, William Sims) Another reason I am leaving is because once after starting a new medication, I started experiencing hallucinations and extreme euphoria. I brought this up to my provider and despite having a diagnosis for bipolar disorder he literally said "I don't think this is something we need to address now, let's just focus on the increase We are doing today on your ADHD medication". And then it was never addressed again. I lost a significant amount of weight And went into what I could only characterize as a manic episode. -(PA, William Sims) Final reason why I'm leaving is because I was put on a medication called Cymbalta. The company that Manufacturers Cymbalta, Eli Lilly, has Undergone multiple lawsuits for failing to disclose to patients about severe long lasting withdrawal symptoms. As a psychiatrist this is information you would have knowledge to and are ethically required to inform a patient you are prescribing a new medication to of the risks and dangers of that medication. I was never warned or even told about the risks involved and I am still suffering to this day. Instead, my psychiatrist overtime has put me on the highest allowable Dosage of 120 mg, Despite me raising concerns of the severe withdrawal I experience and vertigo. -(PA, William Sims) If you take anyone's advice please take mine. Due to my condition, It has taken me far too long to reach out and find new psychiatric care but I finally have and it is a world of difference from this place. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE. This has been malpractice and unethical care over the entire 10 years of my being here with no improvement in sight.

The quality since variety took over is a putrid mess of ineptitude, script delays, non comms, and…read moreradio silence. It can take a day or 2.5 weeks to refill a medial prescription. With no information as to why it takes so long. You just have to run with the risk of not having mediation. Even if you call well before. I miss this place when it was Stanbro, as it's now variety.
