"Before I went to BH Care, I had a medication combo that was working wonders for me... A few months in, the Dr. that I was seeing and absolutely loved left and I was given a new Dr. He cut me off of one of the meds right away, cold turkey... I've never been worse."
— Patient review on local facility aggregate site"If I could leave negative stars, I would. This place put my life in more danger than my abuser. Then sent me back, partially. I had to leave my belongings... and walk in 12 degree weather at 1 o'clock in the morning in snow and ice."
— Patient review for The Umbrella Center on ForEveryWoman.org"I have had nothing but good experiences with everyone I've ever seen there. From the front end staff, my therapists, doctors and many other people. I highly recommend them."
