Beware! I had my…read moreintake appointment with this practice and made my first appointment to begin therapeutic sessions for the following week. I showed up for my first appointment and waited for 45 minutes before I got up to ask what's wrong. Turns out that they just completely forgot all about me. Despite having my appointment card (in their handwriting), they just didn't seem to care at all and suggested that I refer to the "Psychology Today" website to find a different clinician. Very bizarre. I had just been discharged from an Intensive Outpatient Program (and a psychiatric hospital before that) and these people just completely ghosted me. I got the impression that the clinicians at Mindful Solutions aren't really up to the task of treating severe psychiatric disorders. Nice work, Mindful Solutions [/sarcasm]. I hope you don't treat all suicidal people like this. The blood will be on your hands.

I have reached out for my own mental well being on more than one occasion, with the same…read moredisappointing results, however. Mindful solutions has deteriorated the barrier I had regarding self help, and they have shown me wonders. For many years I was bound by the shackles of anxiety, abnormal thought processes, depression and even dissociation. Mindful solutions had immediately began unearthing origins of my aliments within minutes of my first session, and in that same moment I started feeling weight being lifted off my shoulders. The therapists here (mine is CBT), had never missed a beat in the rhythm analysis and client/therapist relationships, effortlessly. The front end is tirelessly motivated to get you the help that you need, due to an onboarding screening service they find a therapist or help tailored specifically for you and your needs, a service and companionship unprecedented in my experiences. If you or a loved one is struggling to any capacity, please follow up with mindful solutions. From the very moment I picked up the phone with shaking hands, to this day I have been treated well, fair and with a tremendous respect and confidentiality. My life has been illuminated with new lights never before seen in my eyes, and I wish the same for you. Please, do not hesitate. Call mindful solutions, and make the change in your life you may never thought to be possible.

Living at Bright Harbor Healthcare completely ruined my life and made my physical, mental, and…read moreemotional health worse and because of this organization lack of empathy, help or consideration. A 70 year old living with us at a Bright Harbor Healthcare Group Home set his only place to live on fire on a beautiful peninsula when a paradise became an inferno is not by mere chance but by the neglect of this organization. Everybody is coerced and sedated here to take medication and they force everybody into a five day a week program and sit them in front of the TV while getting funded to give absolutely no support or direction for clients they are literally getting funded for all them to watch tv. Six months ago the fire happened and I still don't have any of my belongings which costed thousands of dollars and no information about the insurance policy or reimbursement. While on the floor in extreme organ pain they found it as the perfect chance to retailate and make disgusting false allegations to hospitalizations so grotesque and not true I have to appeal it out my hospital chart which I am calling medical neglect completely ignoring my organ pain and as a result the hospital dismissed it as paranoia from the disturbing allegations and showing a complete lack of empathy or consideration tryna hospitalize me for my birthday. This organization completely ruined my life and made me suffer in unbearable ways and Bright Harbor helping me instead they used the so called "house leaders" time here to document me for liability and by harassing and pushing buttons just so they have something bad to right about me to prove I'm the one in the wrong. Don't ever trust Bright Harbor Healthcare or their motto, this organization don't care about anybody besides getting paid for no effort.

This organization operates with a level of indifference that is impossible to ignore. The staff…read moreprovide shallow, surface-level 'help,' constantly referring clients elsewhere just so someone else can collect the highest payout for the least amount of actual work. Clients are treated like livestock--processed, not cared for--with no real compassion, insight, or empathy. What makes it even worse is that the more 'heads' they collect for profit, the less they actually help anyone. People who genuinely want or need support end up ignored or discarded because real work doesn't fit into their profit model. The more they gather bodies to inflate their numbers, the more their ability to truly serve anyone collapses--they stockpile clients far beyond the shallow help they're capable of providing. It feels as though maximizing profit through neglect has become the priority, not genuine progress or support. At this point, it's hard to understand the purpose of this organization beyond looking good on paper and justifying their funding to the state.

They will take any and all opportunities to get over on you. The fact that they do this to people suffering from mental health issues is just 1 more example of their grift.

It might have been Rosie and Rosie never made any notes about anything. Leann said she didn't call me and didn't make any effort to resolve the issue I was having with getting the medication refilled. In my opinion, there was no reason for me to be playing phone tag because on Wednesday, when I spoke to possibly Rosie, and Rosie said the doctor will send the Rx to Pharmacy Emporium, it should have been done. If it was my business, or I worked in the office of Dr Flaks, I would not respnd to patients with "I did not call you." I would take care of the reason for the call first time call resolution, and if not in one call, I would follow through and ensure that my reason for calling was resolved and I would have called me back. She did not do any of that. Leann also said she did not see that anyone called me from there yesterday but they did twice and left me a voicemail once. My phone keeps track of all the times I have spoken to them. From now on, I am not deleting their voicemail messages to show proof that someone there left me messages, some of which are very detailed which I prefer. If I knew how to record the calls themselves, I would do that too. I know I can, but I don't do it. I have been waiting since LAST Wednesday for Zoryve to be sent to a specialty pharmacy and for that pharmacy to contact me for my new insurance to fill the medication for me which I really need. Meanwhile, last week, I was told Dr Flaks said she will send a RX for the Zoryve to that pharmacy and I haven't gotten it or heard from the specialty pharmacy and her office staff isn't doing their due diligence. Dr Flaks does not seem to care either, and now I am looking for a new dermatologist who knows how to treat their patients as well as their staff. Do better!!!

The doctor told me that Medicare allows for one time a year to do a dermatology check (body check). The way she made it sound as if it was considered "preventative." However, that is not the case. You still have to pay any co-pays or if you did not meet your deductible you would have to pay that. When I was at the office they never asked for a co-pay before seeing the doctor, which is counter-intuitive, because every time I go to any doctor other than for a preventative, they ask for my co-pay. I will pay the $20 that they have billed me for, however, I will not be returning to her because of the misleading information.
