I don't know what to say to urge you to look for a different dr or make you believe me but I would never steer a person in the wrong direction that is in need of medical help. The positive posts about him are bogus. When I would go to his office, other patients had complaints about him too and were currently looking for another Dr. He had an office in Palos, when they switched over they asked him to leave bc of the patient complaints about him. You don't have to listen to my opinion of him but if you are in this site looking for reviews if you listen to any of them be aware of what I am posting. Please, for your own sake

I believe my niece, who is 50 years of age is a patient there at Madden Mental Health Center…read more My oldest niece has a car so she drove out to Madden Mental Health Center and after giving the staff her cousin name; she inquired about weather her cousin was there, she was told that by staff, that her cousin was not there. I have heard that if the patient doesn't know you, then you will not get in to visit. There is a black woman who is a Reverend, my brother got involved with this woman and her two daughters they are or was doing, Voo do doll (witchcraft) on my niece. This black Reverend woman she took the Stimulus Check ($1,200.00) that my niece had, this reverend woman, she had my niece prostituting my niece she saved up $500.00 and gave that to this Reverend woman and her daughter a total of $1,700.00 that this Reverend woman and her daughters have taken from my niece this Reverend woman and her daughters said that my niece own her for baby sitting for her. My nice has two boys who need their mother, she has a 10 year old son and a 21 year of age son. This black reverend woman is trying to keep my niece from her family. They have been doing Vo do doll (witch craft) on my niece since the year of 2003. They are trying to control my niece life with drugs and sex. My niece mother was killed by this Reverend woman and her daughters they told people that my niece mother (deceased 2016), was or had a mental problem to make them selves look good, but they were doing Vo do doll (witchcraft) on her and they are doing witch craft on my brother; this Reverend woman has said they she is only waiting to get read of me. I believe Madden Mental Health Center; there should be more concern when a family member is looking for a love one and then they are told merely that that person isn't there at the Madden Mental Health Center, but my oldest niece said the staff told her that some times they come and go and come back again. This Reverend Woman and her daughters they come out to the Madden Mental Health Center to see or visit my niece but they don't tell me any thing. My niece have a cellular phone in her name I have called that number and text my niece at the number but no answer. It is my niece out going voice on the voice mail. I know that I should go to the police or put a missing person out on my niece. My niece is not crazy they are making her to use drugs, and trying to control her life with witchcraft. This woman got my niece saying that she don't like me. That she can't stand her son, nor me. I know that my niece loves her children. and I know that she loves me and her other family members. Thanks for listening to me. PS. My niece only need this Reverend woman and her two daughters to leave her along. I know my niece is there is there at the Madden Mental Health Center.

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. I know it's a state run mental and rehabilitation…read morefacility, but it's worse than what you imagine. Let's start with arrival. You have to do the full naked inspection and wear a gown totally nude until someone can bring you clothes. You sleep on a stuffed tarp with a stained sheet with no pillow. The units are coed, but bunks and restrooms are separated by a common room. The place is unsanitary. They mop daily, but don't sweep, the floors are sticky, the chairs are uncomfortable, the showers are moldy, the phones are never cleaned, the rooms are filthy, and while I never saw any rodents I certainly heard them and saw evidence of them. The food was horrendous, cold turkey sandwiches on stale bread was a staple, and it never got much better. Now let's get to the staff. I saw 1 psychiatrist in the 11 days I was there for what was supposed to be a 5 day hold, we had a daily group session which was usually good, I ment my social worker a handful of times (she recommended my release days earlier) she was one of the few bright spots, the panel that was supposed to meet me to approve my release NEVER met with me, the nurses and cleaning staff were on their phones, I saw nurses just fill in previous numbers from blood pressure and heart rate rather than actually taking them, the group counselors were nice but a 1 hour once a day group session doesn't do much, and I saw staff antagonizing some of the more vulnerable patients. To kill time you had limited options. You could play cards with other patients, read the news paper, read out dated terrible books, color, or watch tv. I was lucky to have a group of 4 people to talk to and play cards with. The people ironically were the only thing that kept me sane there. When trying to get to the panel to start my exit plan I was told I was still restricted despite the 1 psychiatrist that I saw saying he recommended my release, and my social worker recommended my release, my family and wife calling and visiting and advocating for me. They keep you there because bodies on the unit mean money. The man who ultimately made the decision for me to leave told me he only did so because he was tired of my wife calling him. I have PTSD from this place. I grip the steering wheel tighter when driving past this place. I feel sorry for any person that ends up there especially those who were extremely vulnerable and in need to real help. Please if you have a relative, friend, or loved one in this facility do everything you can to help get them out.

Having different wellness services available in one place makes it so much easier to prioritize yourself and your overall well-being. Whether you're looking for support, trying to take better care of yourself, or simply need a space where you can breathe, reset, and focus on YOU, I definitely recommend Astute. It's honestly such a beautiful addition to the community, and I'm so glad I found them.

I was also so grateful that the intake team was able to get us in immediately, as so many other places had waitlists (especially Lurie's...OMG - the waitlist is literally years!!) The therapist we were matched with was such a great fit that I was willing to do whatever it took to make it work scheduling wise, and I am so glad I did. Your child's mental health is worth prioritizing and trust me, the parenting side of the support for you alone is worth moving your/your child's schedule around.
