Unfortunately my girlfriend is still in this armpit of a hospital and i can only tell you of things that i have seen and what she has told me but today took the cake at the "probable cause" hearing. First off after the 3 day hold they chalked a 14 day hold and then I believe they were trying for a 30 day hold when her writ finally went thru and she was released unfortunately her judgment is off and she is back. Anyway back to the reason this Grayden fellow is a putz, i started doing some reading about these patient advocates, what i read was even if they dont agree with the patient wanting to leave they are to help in anyway possible. Because my girlfriend seemed to be getting no where i asked her who i should talk to and she gave me this advocates name, I think it was Gretchen (not sure). She asked me who i was and did my girlfriend have anywhere to live if she was released, I said of course she could live with me etc etc. I asked her what sort of diagnostics is this Dr. doing to justify him wanting to keep her in so long, she told me it was because of what he had read on a report that was given to him by another outpatient program she was in that he made this decision. So basically he did nothing, it was because of a report he had read. She says she was going to talk to the Dr. and would call me back on Friday if she had any other questions. I hear nothing. So on Monday I call my girlfriend to see if the advocate was moving anything along, she said no but said that the advocate had talked to her on Friday and they could just release her to me but lets see what happens at your Writ court date. First off what kind of advocate is this? That's 6 more days in that armpit, it is my observation that if you have a mental disorder basically they (the government) say that the patients have rights, but this is false, my girlfriend is limited to a 5 minute call, they are complaining that she is depressed and want to keep her longer, NO DUH! Look where the hell shes at. If they dont tie their shoes, color on coloring day or even brush their hair (which was mentioned in the Grayden report) then thats a symptom of their disorder and need to be held for another 14 days. The report says that she sits in her room and doesn't socialize with her "peers", the first room mate she had was deaf, hmmm communication might be a little limited there. They keep them all half asleep so they don't have to deal with them, most the time when i visited her, my girlfriend was obviously drugged and half asleep but she would come out for a visit anyway, usually i cut the visits short because she could barely keep her eyes open. Like i told this advocate, i have spoken to my girlfriend on 3 separate occasions and i know when she is having issues and there is no trace of that currently, its my accusation that these so called Drs. keep these patients in or longer because if they dont have patients then they dont have a paycheck, because they are "doctors" they must know everything and everything that they say must be true. They could never be so dishonest especially against a person, many of which cant speak for themselves or even want to cause look, this crazy person is trying to battle with this Dr. Where does it get them? No where. Like I even told my girlfriend, do whatever you have to and get your insurance to cancel you. Its seems to be mostly about to much power being given to individuals that want yachts and job security and to live the high life at someone else's expense. I realize that some are seriously impaired and need care but not as many as you think. Anyway, so today i'm sitting sitting in the lobby for 3 hours waiting for her turn on this hearing, the bald guy Mike comes out to get me. he says he is the patient advocate for the hearing, know what he says this whole time? Asks me what my name is? He's some advocate alright. This judge or commissioner is the same one that works doing the hearings at Anaheim Global, I gave her the name of Sea Hag, I wont waste another 20 minutes of your time with that story. Let me just say that we had only one good experience with that lady and that was when she was being audited by a supervisor. But the same thing happened, i sit in the lobby for 3 hours to only say my name as some social worker reads this Dr. Grayden reports that are just repeats of a police report and a report from some outpatient program. They get no therapy in College Hospital at least not in the West where my girlfriend is at. He does no diagnostics of his own, just copies reports from other government offices. They just give them pills and by all mean's dont pace or anything from being confined in your room most the time cause if you do they'll strap you face down on a bed and put a shot of codeine up your ass. Your Brothers your Sisters, your Mother's and father's, your Aunt's and Uncle's etc etc that are in these places and being held for length's of time by these incompetent Drs. Only we can change it! read more

Warning!!! Stay away from this place!! Only negative stars. This place is a Scam. Patients are so out of it.so drugged up. Patients eating off other patients food trays. The staff is horrible! Caitlyn is a case manager & she is not friendly at all. She Acts like she is to good for you. she never has time for her patients and walks around with a pissed off look on her face. (Like resting bitch face.) that what she told me one day in group. The groups she leads are so boring. she comes in and asks the group,what do you want to talk about? She only talks to patients who she likes. You also can tell who she likes & who she doesn't like. Brenda another case manager dose try to help you.She even comes across like she cares & if your not up to her speed on treatment then she says your looking for attention. Then she stops helping you. She leaves you helpless and wondering what you did wrong.I came here to get better not worse.When you are talking to her about an issue she can't concentrate on you. She dosen't give her full attention to you. Brett the case manager he is not confident in leading agroup. If you don't do what he says he yells at you. Then he will kick you out of group for asking questions He will kick you out if he doesn't like the answer. His groups are very hard to follow & you get nothing out of it. Jill the nurse who has been there for 20+ years needs to think about retirement. She has a spray she uses on people and it's for dogs and cats. ( she uses it on patients with out permission)she hids the spray. Makes you question what else she is hiding. She will give her advice on suicide thoughts and tell you your wrong for thinking like that. She says she dosen't believe in suicide. When you tell her your thought she says come on & your looking for attention. She is very moody and screams at you. Specially the patients who don't speak & just sit there and drools on there self. She gives out false information that I know wasn't true. she is not friendly at all. She makes you feel like your the Idiot for even asking a question in the first place. She also will tell you the Psychiatrist can't see you with her not even asking the Doctor.She just makes decisions on her own with out asking.Then there is the Director Wayne. He's not what he Petra's himself to be. He is not friendly, He dosen't listen & makes you feel like your wrong. He even got up and walked out of a meeting we were in together. He said he had to go and left. He puts patients in the hospital if he doesn't like what your saying. He is careless,insensitive & dishonest too. I found out they went back in my records and falsely changed my care plan. He will lie & cheat the system.He told everyone I was in the hospital for 2 weeks in August. When I was hospitalized in July for 3 days. He told people that I was going to killmyself to just put me in the hospital because I was complaining about him to his boss & his bosses boss. He felt I was to demanding for my paper work that needed be filled out for disability.I was told it would only take 2 days & it took a week in a half.I even talk to them saying I need the paper work back asap. They only reason why they filled it out because I was getting kicked out. They never told me that was happening. (Who kicks out a depressed, anxiety PTSD.To never able to come back. All because I complained about what was going on in P.H.P at college hospital C.M. Please hear me out there is something wrong about a man using his power to destroy someone's life & to refuse me help is just so disgusting & disappointing too. I was sexually harassed by 3 patients. When I told them what happened. They just laughed & said well don't talk to him/stay away from him. Even when I had class with him. He never was disaplened about it. He just kept asking for me to f*** him over and over. He even grabbed my breast and smiled why he was telling me to f*** him.So inappropriate. Then they made me feel bad about myself because I was trying to help him. Told me that I was encouraging his behavior. Really! Another patient kept asking me to get in his car to talk. He was very persistent about getting me into his car.I was scared of this patient & told the staff and nothing was done. I was crying alone in a group room after class was over. Another male patient put his arm around me and said I have been dreaming about this day as he rubbed up against me. He made me feel so uncomfortable. He also tried to grab my breast too. I told him to stop & he just kept trying. I also reported this to staff & my Doctor too. Once again nothing was done.There is so much wrong here.I reported this place and I hope someone comes in & looks at the patients who are there so they can get money from the insurance. some don't even stay & staff says tell the end of the second group. we can get paid for u.I feel that it was wrong to do & a law suite waiting to happen. Please help me by saving other patients. read more

I was a patient from mid afternoon on Sunday June 18th after being transfered from Kaiser Irvine with the goal of Anxiety issues and Alcohol detox. I voluntarily left early on Wednesday June 21st after the horrible treatment by staff I received. I came here for care. Not to be drugged every four hours and ignored for another four hours. I had a huge headache and no nurse was visiting. So i went to the charge nurse desk and asked for tylenol or anything for my headache I'd had since Sunday. They said my nurse will bring some. Hour goes by, my head is pounding so I went up to ask again and the agitatedly said "your nurse will bring you some!!!!!" almost another hour goes by, losing my mind because my head is pounding like crazy i went to charge nurse desk again and firmly stated " I have asked you TWICE already for something for my headache, what is going on !?!?! The nurses started laughing at me. I went back to my room and was in bed laying there shaking and crying most of the stay. Each night they kept giving me a pill "to make me fall asleep." I asked what is this pill ? Nurse responded " It doesn't matter its going to help you sleep. The staff are obligated to tell me what medication they are giving me if I ask. The other day in the " Day Room" everyone was talking about the same thing how they are refusing to tell us what pill they're trying to shove down our throats. I never felt so alone and neglected by nursing staff ever in my life. Nurse Twinkle and Emily were the only nurses who ever checked on me and comforted me. Perhaps the nurses were "too busy" to tend to patients because they're too busy yelling, laughing and chatting about non work related things while after hours and patients are trying to sleep. It was very annoying . Also, the nurses were kicked backed playing on the phones and music videos. One day the nurse was giving me my pills. One was a large pill which I have trouble swallowing. I ended up puking all over my gown and blanket. She gave me the rest of my pills and then just left the room. Didn't even offer a new gown or linen???? I wiped off as much puke off me with the linen and threw it in the linen container. and just stayed in my gown because god forbid I trouble them for another gown. So first thing in the morning I took a shower. They also said the Day Room opens at 6am. I was in there 6:05 and the nurse at charge nurse desk yelled at me and said i couldn't be in there. I asked and confirmed the hours. With complete attitude she responded " Well we have someone coming to clean it in 15 minutes. Why yell at ME for that? Maybe put a sign on the door? Or be polite about it. These nurses must hate their jobs. They are not compassionate or helpful whatsoever. Then, there was a patient in the Day Room with the tattoos going around asking us if we wanted an oxycontin his nurse gave him and obviously wasn't paying attention to him not taking it in front of her. I also found a pill in a package in the day room under the coffee machine areas. I brought it to the young man in the black scrubs at the nursing station. I felt that neither of these "Mission Statements" , "Visions" or "values" were displayed by any of the employees actions were applied to the entire experience.I first arrived starving and they stated I would have to wait until dinner. The food stock in the refrigerator was empty and the other patients agreed when they all ask staff they just ignore them. We would ask the staff to please stock the fridge as we were all hungry and they kept saying "we'll caIl" the kitchen every time. Last time we asked they say" sorry kitchen is closed" I hadn't eaten since the night before even being transferred. When finally receiving first hot meal it was not only junk food with empty calories and no nutritional value, it was cold! Every time! According to The Health department, The temperature danger zone hot food is to remain is 135 F to avoid food born illnesses. Many of us could not stomach the food they served us and I threw up at the sight and smell of the "beefaroni" who toddlers are fed. I opened my pink plastic water container they gave me and there was this brown slime on the bottom of the cup. it was disgusting. I then got yelled at by nurses accusing me of doing "gymnastics ". I was doing yoga... read more

0. This hospital is not a hospital. It's a Big Pharma funded and run smoke stack with staff that should be fired and jailed not to mention force fed grade F dog food with a scoop shovel UNTIL THEY CHOKE AND are SO OBEASE IF NOT ALREADY THAT THEY AGREE TO FORFIT THEIR DOCTOR LICENSE OR NURSING PRIVILEGE. They spend 99.9 percent of their time trying to woo new customers in the door. This can be seen by observing the staff daily brain dead on their computer and when asked they are looking for new potential inmates. No joke. This place is set up to have you toxic shocked with meds. They make your entire physical and mental body shut down comparable with aging 65 years in two weeks. You can't think for yourself which is what they want. Another sheep if not dead mouse on a bed of shredded paper, shit and piss with no housekeeper to clean it up. This is not curable by getting out and stopping the meds. It's in my opinion something that should again result in all staff including doctors, etc to be fired, jailed and force fed dog food with a scoop shovel I kid u not. Especially doctor Ross and secondly Dr SchwartZ. To reinforce their poor ethical job choice....Prescribing Meds that make a person unable to have enough energy to make their own decisions or pay attention to detail so their life and brain turn to mush unless rescued by someone who can Batman a bitch out of there while attending their own life. No world needs to have Batman type people who are the only people who can think straight. Fucking brain dead people of power are grade F dog food on hypothetical death row and I'm not into the death penalty at all. Everyone is a person to respect and keep. If someone doesn't shut this place down, I will. Not sure how but I have zero tolerance for brain dead doctors lawyers or Indian chiefs. Get a brain transplant and show up to your own funeral eulogy example. Every staff member will be remembered as rotting brain dead carcass. I hope you have a fantastic day at work tomorrow treating every single person with the same pills, the same unethical behavior and business practices..... blah blah why hasn't the BBB been contacted about this place is my parting thoughts for this "rating" read more

Do not and I repeat DO NOT let anyone you care about even as much as think of being admitted to this place I will call a modern holocaust! If your given The egoistic Thomas Grayden to be your dr than be prepared to be a meal ticket for much longer. Your a mental patient you have no rights, they say you do but you don't. I, luckily am not a mental patient but my girlfriend is and unfortunately she sent to this place. You have the right to deny medication but not according to 400 pound "Monica" that works in the west unit, who will physically restrain you and force this medication down your throat with her hands. I have filed complaints with the county on this hospital as well as this Thomas Grayden and Monica. I would be willing to start a class action suit against this monstrosity of a place they call College Hospital. It's so bad there that last night 3/28/19 I called the Costa Mesa police and asked them to do a welfare check on my girlfriend. Imagine that, needing to do a welfare check on someone in "hospital". The police said that the hospital has their protocol and that they wouldn't even guarantee that they would be let back, knowing that shady hospital, I knew that would be the case. I still haven't spoken to my girlfriend and I don't know what her status is. They denied her phone calls even to her public defender to help her get out of that place. There's way more garbage I have on that law breaking place they call College Hospital. You have been warned, if you truly love somebody and want them to get help in a professional way with some dignity then don't send them here. read more

Review about DR. Ross @ College Hospital. She is The most unemphatic, delusional, rude doctor I've met. My daughter saw her and Dr. Ross spent less than 10 minutes with her, making false accusations & diagnosis regarding her health & current state. I showed up at the hospital the next day to discuss it with Dr. Ross and she immediately said "I cant talk to you" and continued walking into her closet of an office...RUDE RUDE RUDE and she's very condescending when she speaks to you. She doesn't take the time to really see what the patients needs are, and looks at them as just another number and that they all fall under the same psychotic group. NOT THE CASE DR ROSS. She should take some classes on respect, empathy, patient care and should be checked in to the hospital herself. You'll know what I'm talking about the minute you see her. Also, she lied on the discharge paperwork and noted she had discussed treatments etc with me, BUT NEVER DID. BEWARE! If you are looking for mental health for your CHILD or any loved one, she's not the one to help not this hospital! read more

I can't believe they call themselves a hospital this place has made it okay to treat people like criminals I can't believe the conduct of their employees it starts with their security team they all every single last one of them need to be fired to yell at any patient who goes to a clinic on college hospitals property the way they do. I can't believe they allow and have seen their securities harassing people and don't even discipline them. Wow. It doesn't matter who or what a person is there for or how long when a girl is bleeding and asking to use the restroom and she is being threatened with police by your security you need to hire a whole new security team read more

This Hospitalis the worst place on the planet. Not only did the nurses talk shit to you, they do not feed you, laugh and make fun of you being a drug addicting searching for help. The lady's on the detox unit at night shift, theirs not one staff member that was professional and not using profanity the whole time. A female nurse also touched me inappropriately and I'm in the process with OC prosecutors to get this staff meme eta off the street. Point is, do not ever go here! You will starve, be degraded by the staff, not medicated properly, and one member sexually attracted me. Do not go here or send ur loved ones or family here ever. read more

Last I heard was that the OC weekly is working on a article about this place and is interviewing past residents and family members like myself that had to deal with this facility.. glad that someone is stepping in like the OC weekly and is getting the truth out there how harsh this place is and full of corrupt staffing .. let's hope they get an investigator to get in there and investigate all the stuff that's really going on with the staff and clients.. this place really needs to get shut down as soon as possible it's not safe for anyone to be in.. read more
