    Absolutely do NOT use this medical facility for your mental healthcare. My daughter is an adult…read moreand I cannot legally manage her care. However, I am a nurse and I made her appointment with Dr. Young. Dr.Young saw her and diagnosed her with a multitude of complex mental health illnesses. The problem: my daughter's care was transferred to a new graduate Nurse Practitioner without a mental health background. None. So basically, it was video visits for monthly medication reordering. Yes, they will not give you a prescription with refills. Only by seeing them monthly. 5 minute phone call. No further therapeutic intervention. Taking advantage of the vulnerable patient population group. Complex cases require monitoring, in office one on one counseling, and I strongly suggest urine tests to verify no illicit drug. Nothing of this way done. Nothing. Dr.Young you are FIRED!

    I was referred to RCBM in 2022 for my son, who was 11 years old at the time. I want to emphasize…read morethat my son has never been seen by a psychiatrist--not even once. We have only ever met with a Physician Assistant (PA). While I respect the role of a PA, I believe that when prescribing powerful medications such as antipsychotics to a child, a psychiatrist should be directly involved and meet the patient at least once to oversee treatment decisions. To provide context: A psychiatrist completes approximately 12-14 years of education and training, whereas a PA typically completes 6-7 years including clinical experience. Psychiatrists are trained to diagnose, prescribe, and manage treatment comprehensively. PAs, while skilled, generally assist and have more limited prescribing authority. Given these differences, I expected a psychiatrist to be involved in my son's care, especially considering the complexity of his case. My son was diagnosed with ADHD, depression, and anxiety by RCBM. Over time, he was prescribed multiple medications, yet we saw little improvement. Eventually, a therapist from another organization suggested that my son might be autistic. When I raised this with the PA, he disagreed. I sought further evaluation from a neurologist, who confirmed that my son is autistic (high-functioning). This experience has left me questioning the accuracy of the initial diagnoses and the appropriateness of the treatment plan provided by the PA without psychiatrist oversight. I recently reached out to RCBM to ask if we can schedule an appointment with the doctor himself and here is the correspondence: "Dear Aleshia, After a thorough review of Blake's clinical information, our team has determined that, unfortunately, we are not able to meet his current level of care needs at this time. We believe he would benefit from a provider or facility that offers a higher level of support to best address his treatment goals." I responded: I'm truly surprised and confused by this situation. All I did was request that my son be seen by the doctor. Is the doctor not qualified to work with minors who have depression and anxiety? This is very concerning. For over two years, my son has been treated by a PA "under the doctor's supervision", yet now it seems the doctor himself does not know how to manage a child with these conditions. Does the doctor only prefer to work with patients who do not have mental health challenges? My son is not non-verbal, difficult, or a special case--he simply needs appropriate care. I find this situation deeply troubling. It appears that individuals who may not have been fully qualified to manage my child's mental health have repeatedly prescribed medication without ever informing me that my son might need a higher level of care. This lack of communication and oversight has caused significant distress for my son and our family. I am seriously questioning whether this constitutes negligence and whether legal action may be warranted. I will be looking into this and would hope that you guys are prepared to answer back on this because I WILL fight for my child and someone will answer to the hell that they have put my son and our family through.
