They need immediate help. He was referred to this practice by another doctor who could not see him because he was not a drug user. When I called this morning to let the office know he would not be at his appointment because he died the assistant was rude, snippy and said I'll make that note. No sorry for your loss.

Dr. Menninger has been my psychiatrist since August of last year, when my previous doctor closed…read moreher practice. I've been very pleased with the care I've gotten from Dr. Menninger, especially in managing my medication. He was extremely helpful and concerned when I developed tardive dyskinesia (TD) from Abilify, which had been prescribed by my former doctor. It turned out I had been taking it at a high dose for quite a long time, and Dr. Menninger thought I should discontinue it. When I did, the TD symptoms showed up (involuntary mouth and facial movements that were obvious and annoying). He's been very good about working with me and my neurologist in coordinating care as I've been treated for the TD symptoms. Dr. Menninger is cautious and conservative when it comes to medication, which I very much appreciate after my experience with Abilify. I see him regularly, although only every few months, to check in on how things are going with my medications. These are short appointments and somehow there's no co-payment for them with my medical plan, so I certainly like that! During appointments Dr. Menninger takes his notes on his computer as he goes along. It seemed odd, at first, as I wasn't used to that, but now I don't notice it, and being "connected" Dr. Menninger can rapidly find and print out studies and articles on various issues for you while you're sitting in his office, which is very handy. All in all, definitely recommended!

I have been to Cottonwood a number of times in the last 4 years, and things have gone down hill in…read morea number of ways that I will outline below. You used to be able to knock on Doctor Willie's office door and he invites you in and share his experience, strength, and hope every week day you were there, and you just do not get to do this anymore. He now has black construction paper taped over the window on the door so you don't know if he is in there or not. I got there early Tuesday morning, and between then and the end of the week I met with him 1 time. He was apparently taking the whole next week off, so I would not see him again before I discharged. I don't know how many other patients knew he was going to be gone, but I definitely did not. There was no goodbye of any sorts. 1 patients I talked to said Dr Willie himself informed him of this absence, but multiple PCAs told me none of them knew he was going to be away. I have a hard time believing that a patient knew he was going to be gone but the staff did not. I view this as basically the highest level of disrespect that can be shown to a patient. With Doctor Willie being gone, Patrick was supposed to send a prescription to my pharmacy, and he screwed the whole thing up in every way possible. I have been waiting for this to be resolved since Thursday, and I'm starting to accept that nobody is going to fix anything and that I am shit out of luck. Cottonwood food used to be great. The meals served were really good, and all 3 units were stocked with good snacks. People check in there who have been living off 1000 calories, a liter of vodka, and a bag of meth a day for months if not years, and these people need to be able to go get a decent snack 24/7. You used to be able to go get a pint of milk, a PB&J, and ice cream any time. The new Cottonwood, I bet they're food budget has been cut by 60% or more. The meals served are lukewarm and just generally low quality. Snacks in the units are nothing but cheap carbs and sodium. You can get 2 grams of protein from a snack tops. All of those decent snacks in the fridge are gone. If you want a milk during a non meal time, you have to bring it back with you and most likely someone will steal it out of the fridge if you do. I started pouring my milks into a 2nd water bottle I had and putting that in the fridge and people would leave it alone. People's insurance pay 917 dollars a day for patients to be here, and the company wants to cheat them out of a few bucks worth of decent food. I've mostly concluded that Cottonwood now operates at the level that all the other mental hospitals have been running at all along in the past, and I just got spoiled by the way it used to be. I don't know if Doctor Willie is now just overrun by a bunch of crap that the new owners are now putting on him to do, or if this is a personal thing that he has decided I am no longer worth his time. I guess the company got bought out recently, and big corporations buying small companies never leads to patients and customers being treated better. I have referred people to Cottonwood for years, and I am not going to do it anymore. I don't know who to blame for all this stuff, but going here will not improve your life. I have a feeling that no mental hospitals in this country improve anyone's lives anymore. If you need to quit alcohol of drugs, find a family member or friend to hold your alcohol or drugs and ration you with them and quit that way. I wrote a 2 page essay to attach to my discharge survey that gets into these issues, but I know they are going to blow off almost all of it. So ya, Cottonwood is now another example of a giant company turnings things to shit.
