DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TAKE ANYONE YOU CARE ABOUT TO THIS PLACE!!!…read more
I WISH with all my heart I could give this place less than a one-star review, for many, many reasons. the first of which being the following:
My daughter (a survivor of intimate partner abuse, sexual assault, and molestation) was scheduled by the Social Security Administration of all places for a review regarding her disability claim. The FIRST problem was that the person assigned to do a PHYSICAL exam of a sexual assault survivor was a male who decided to abuse his authority as an examiner by threatening to tell the SSA that she was being "non-cooperative" because he kept insisting that she remove her clothing despite being told that doing so made her uncomfortable, for reasons he was well aware.
Essentially, this MAN sexually traumatized my child because a woman dared to tell him that his actions were making her uncomfortable.
When I asked to speak with the supervisor I was then directed to speak with the SAME "man" (more like beast, creature, or cesspool-dwelling animal, but I digress), who then proceeded to have an attitude with ME for demanding to know why he felt it necessary to re-traumatize a sexual assault survivor, to which his response was simply to shrug it off, because -- and trust me when I tell you this -- he will definitely make it a point to falsify a document to get my child's disability claim thrown out. And it doesn't matter that there's years of documentation and other medical paperwork to support her claim; HE was offended, and he will make sure she pays for it.
To add insult to injury, when I asked the nurses (or whatever they are) at the front desk for contact information to file a grievance -- while my child is sobbing uncontrollably and was so physically upset that she almost threw up on the spot -- they LAUGHED at her. Laughed.
This despite seeing how upset she was, and knowing exactly why. The evaluator also further caused my daughter harm by asking her to perform repeated physical movements that she already told him caused her physical pain. He didn't care. The only thing he cared about was exerting his power over someone he deemed powerless.
He all but called her a liar, accused her of faking her traumas and disabilities, and when I asked him why he felt it necessary to behave in such a manner, he huffed, puffed, and left the room. No apology. No acknowledgment of his behavior, or of the pain he caused her. Nothing.
My daughter CRIED the entire ride home. It took everything I could to get her to calm down, and now she's worried that because we're reporting this that he'll retaliate. I wish I could say that people on average are more professional than that, but I know better.
I've said all this to say that if there is any other place for you to take your loved ones for medical "care" (read: abuse and violation of civil and human rights), then by all means, continue to allow these people to profit.
If, however, you actually care about your health and safety and the health and safety of your loved ones, and you'd like to avoid potential sexual assault, then I'd definitely steer clear of this place.
It makes me sick to my stomach to know that as a veteran I put my life on the line for people like this, people who support abuse, support bigotry and disability discrimination, and who are so confident they'll get away with it that they'll literally laugh in your face, when confronted with their crimes.
