St. Vincent's Inpatient/Outpatient Behavioral Health Services

I was very close to not making it out of there after surgery and the wonderful staff on the seventh floor help get me through it. Specifically, Dr. Lee Goldstein, who was my wound care specialist was terrific a wonderful person and a terrific healer. I wouldn't go anywhere else Ever

Do not go here for therapy. It caused me further trauma. I received care that was not trauma informed at all, my PTSD was not recognized and I was told (by Julia) in our first meeting I did not have PTSD and "if you had PTSD you would know." she also came into my psychiatrist appointment without my permission to claim that I was "paranoid" after I had been hacked... One time when I was talking to her she said to me "is this helping you?" which was beyond disrespectful. about a year and a half in, I finally asked for a trauma therapist (to which Julia replied she would refer me) and when nothing happened for more than 5 weeks, I called again and was immediately referred. I also left her due to a bad experience. My complex PTSD was not diagnosed and was not taken seriously until I left and got a new psychiatrist and therapist.

Terrible facility. Most of Hartford Health I imagine has a poor doctrine. Hartford Health wasted, quite literally, six entire weeks of my life that I can never get back. I was essentially incarcerated in their facilities for six weeks after I was stable. This is criminal medical malpractice, or it certainly should be.

I want to give St. V's 5 Stars because of the care from Dr. Jeffrey S. Gold but this review is for the entire facility. Please take the crucifix out of the Nurse's bubble. Inappropriate for a facility that treats some patients for self harm. My nurse didn't allow me to read my discharge papers. If she had, I would have informed her that there was a clerical error on the paperwork because I voluntarily asked to be put into inpatient for severe anxiety. It read, "involuntarily". When I called St. V's Medical Records the woman who answered was incredibly rude and hostile. Yes I have her name. The line should have been recorded. The director should listen to it. I shall now restate that Doctor Jeffrey S. Gold is a treasure to this facility. I wish I could give St. V's 5 Stars because of him, the food was really good, the rehab courses were amazing and I did indeed find the experience therapeutic.

Terrifying, barbaric facility. A glorified prison.. filthy, zero compassion. Inhumane treatment. Was whipped out of the ER and thrown in a cell to be watched all night by two men. I had been a little depressed and thought the St Vs I knew would take care of me. Never ever again. This is America, if you feel unbalanced mentality DO NOT go to the hospital unless you want to be stripped of your dignity and locked up. Appalling place that needs to be shut down. This isn't my last word!
