Cedar Hills Hospital Reviews ( 133 )

  1. Worst experience ever. Treated poorly by staff and misdiagnosed, my CPTSD and dissociative state went unnoticed by staff/treated like an attitude problem and my abuser who put me there picked me up and took me right back to it. I was finally properly diagnosed later after more years and more significant trauma.

  2. I was there with a severe mental breakdown and the WHOLE staff there was more then kind and I almost always
    was capable of talking to any of them Its a bkessing, and an awesome place to go to!

  3. I wish I have seen this reviews about A week ago. I wish I don’t even have to give any star for this place. It is the most horrible place. The staff communication is very poor, very rude and incompetent staff, No knowledge of what they’re …

  4. The front desk receptionist is pushy and unfriendly . Everybody is always in a rush to get you off the phone as if they have something other than their job to do and the visitation was cut short when they couldnt organize everyone effectively on time.

  5. Second experience here. The people only care about making money from insurance companies. Treat the people terrible. Release patients before they are mentally stable

  6. You get out of the programs what you are willing to put into them. I was able to finally find myself because during my second stay I decided to open up and deal with my issues rather than just going through the motions like I did the first time.

  7. I cant rate this place because I’m not sure yet how it is my brother is suppose to have been transfer here from unity where we brought him into last night. I’m concerned after reading these comments. But I’m going to pray and give this place the benefit of the doubt and will becoming with my family to check it out soon.

  8. Well all of the adult psychiatric,Doctors,therapsits,counselors,nurses,ect.. are very nice&try to help you to understand your mental health iuess& how they&you can deal with them&they keep you&others safe,if they have to they will put you …

  9. All of the paychiatrist mental health counselors and medical doctors have been great and the psuchiatrist and psych nurse keep me very safe will i was on your adult acute unit.thanks for helping me out.keep up the great job.Donna

  10. Do not go here if have serious mental health problems. I’ve been to several facilities worst one by far, my first day here I had dirty sheets and I was freezing, cant even believe how rude some of the staff are here. (DO NOT GO HERE)

  11. Staff is rude and completely inappropriate with handling family members concerns. And I am appalled by the actions of the nurses towards there patients. And they just had to fire staff for molesting patients

  12. Staff doesn’t relay messages to patient or tell them when people call, staff doesn’t return back calls when they say they will, some of the staff treated the patients very poorly and like they weren’t people. Don’t recommend this place if you have other options. It has bad ratings for a reason.

  13. Asked for them to send me to a group home because my home situation isn’t the best, they gave me a voucher for a homeless shelter which was only good for a single night

  14. This was a traumatizing experience. After an attempt I was forced to come here. It was awful They check on you every hour, wake you up. Its so hard to get out of, my parents and had to beg to make them let me go. And there was an inappropriate and unwanted encounter with another patient. Don’t send your loved ones here. Please

  15. I had a friend go there for help and they stayed for three months. I heard that the staff were rude to him and unprofessional. He had a crazy room mate that kept him up all night and no one did anything about it. A few of he things got …

  16. This place rocks! The staff is caring and great. It is well organized and well done. The food is great as is music therapy and the gym. It has quite literally saved my life – I highly, highly recommend it.

  17. Nothing. It was a very pricey non value added scheme (oops I meant to say business model) to see to it that this for profit institution got the most they could get from my insurance. This place does not care about the very patients that …

  18. This was one of the worst experiences of my life not only is the staff working against you on your release they put medication in your food (I have evidence, it’s illegal) I could have died with how much LITHIUM they were giving me. I am …

  19. as of august 2013 , I myself have been to c.h.h(cedar hills hospitol) nine different times, starting in jan. of ’12, with my last stay in aug. of ’13, and I would very much love to set the record straight, this is a for profit, private …

  20. Substandard care from a burned out and indifferent staff. Overall, a shoddy and poorly run operation. Their collections practices border on predatory.
    There are one or two good therapists here, but they are the exception.
    The food is good. Not much else here is.

  21. I’m writing this review to commend the staff, the patients, and in particular Dr. Brian Esparza and Michael (I did know his last name but can’t recall it now), conductor of group sessions and an absolute workhorse in attempting to find me a …

  22. Hey I’m a current new hire! This place is something else, a lot of rude staff I do not appreciate that period to top it off the human resource lady Debbie is extremely rude probably one of the rudest people that I’ve been to or dealt with …

  23. A few days ago, I was discharged from Cedar Hills’ inpatient mental health program. Come to find, I was sent home without a new prescription OR my old meds.
    So we played phone tag with Cedar Hills for a couple days, told them that no …

  24. They try but are understaffed. Very difficult to get a response phone call from them for anything. Also very difficult to get any information from them about pretty much anything. Very nice when you actually talk to them though. The …

  25. Terrible place, terrible experience, lousy staff. Noisy all nite long. Left the nite light on which glared directly into my eyes. Classes were of no help. Staff had little knowledge and little experience in dealing w/people who have …

  26. So I, like many other people having a problem with pills have a family member struggling with it . My family member got clean for a good amount of time but then relapsed which is common . They want to be clean so they call here to request …

  27. The receptionist lady is extremely rude. I wasn’t able to get her name but will be making a formal complaint. We were visiting our friend and she acted like we were inconveniencing her simply by requesting to see him. She went ahead and …

  28. When you’re in a crisis, your first instinct isn’t to research the hospitals of choice, I just went were my insurance directed me. Something to take note of is this is a for profit hospital, all about the money not your safety. They will …

  29. 11.9.19 I am so distraught. Yesterday my niece checked herself in to Unity Behavioral Center which looked and felt like a wonderful place for her needs. This afternoon (11.10.19) they apparently decided she needed more intensive services, …

  30. Hospitalized in Sept. Upon release, the billing gal MADE us pay $250, before we could leave, on a $1,500 bill. We set up auto pay for the balance Long story short, I have had over $1900 taken out of my my acct. I have called THREE times …

  31. My husband has been to the outpatient rehab. twice now in 2 years. He is addicted to stimulants and meth. Cedar Hills wouldn’t admit him to inpatient, instead they did their outpatient program. The first time around he went through 2 …

  32. I’ve been to cedar hills so many times I lost count. I’m a military widow and was allowed a 30 day stay on that floor which receives way better treatment and less rules. But that’s not my point, even though I stayed there many times for 30 …

  33. I wish I could rate zero stars. A family member was transfered here from another detox program they voluntarily checked into. As soon as they arrived at Cedar Hills, they placed her on a mental health hold because they said she was “a …

  34. In my opinion the worst place to help our loved ones, my two loves went here… the care was taken lightly , they can’t answer questions they fly over details. No pride in Patient care. …

  35. I have been having a lot of trouble w/ my bi polar 1, and anxiety of late. I have to say Dr. Trieu and the psych staff are terrible. Been on meds for 20 years, SSDI, and they wouldn’t put me on proper meds once again. I tried requesting a …

  36. I was in the Military Program and was treated with respect, dignity and honor. Mario, Director, Dr. Z, James, Ben, Lisa, and all the staff were pleasant to get along with. Super Kudos to Joan, RN, James, MHT, Chris, MHT, Ida RN, and all …

  37. Hands down the worst mental health hospital in the state! Social workers don’t follow through and leave patients hanging! Avoid at all cost or your certain to regret it!!! They wouldn’t even allow me to fill my water jug saying this isn’t a …

  38. I worked at CHH from the beginning. I loved going to work, until the last 6 months there. I worked with a great group of people that loved what they did, and cared about their patients. The director of the Military program is exceptional, …

  39. My loved one entered voluntarily. We left messages and he never received them. He was suicidal.
    The staff answering phones was rude and unprofessional. We brought brand new …

  40. I do not understand why people have so many bad things to say. The staff are all great. Did not have a single problem with anything. The resource services are amazing! They can find you the treatment you need. I noticed while being there …

  41. I’ve been in many different psychiatric hospitals and Cedar Hills was the best by far. The staff was kind and would go out of their way to help you. They offered acupuncture, and acupressure in addition to Yoga and Tai Chi classes. They …

  42. Do not go to this facility! I included a photo of my Yelp review. They are absolutely inept to care for individuals with mental health conditions. It is disguised as a mental health hospital however it is actually a detox center. They …

  43. This place literally saved my life. For that, I’m eternally grateful. I was there in the fall of 2016, and my life and health continues to improve each day. I witnessed the same outcome in other patients lives that were there with me. A …

  44. I have gotten to know the team at Cedar Hills over the past 9 months and value them as people and providers of care. I believe them them to be people of integrity who care deeply about the well being of those who seek out their help. In my …

  45. They released my mom home without even calling to let me or my fiancé know she was getting out. My mom is deaf so she is unable to call us herself I had gotten a call from another pt that was there saying that my mom was being released and …

  46. Terrible place. Dark, dingy, and cold. The staff never returns calls, the manangement won’t even answer the phone, staff is rude and snotty, they’re understaffed, give the patients the wrong meds, don’t diagnose them right, withhold things …

  47. My daughter is going there today im now scared because the reviews are so bad, but me and my family are a big part of her recovery so if shes not being treated well i guarantee ita not gonna go unnoticed/ my daughter was there for 2 weeks …

  48. when I came here it was about 1 am. The first thing they did was lock up my belongings and ask me to do paperwork. I’m going through benzo withdrawals and am sleep deprived, but ok. The entire time she seemed more interested in …

  49. Avoid this place. Not patient forward. Surly, stiff, uncaring staff. Watch out for Miroslav in specific. This place set my treatment backwards 2 months. Should be ashamed of themselves.

  50. Was admitted here when I was released from the hospital after an overdose. I was still in a sensitive place of mind. I had told the psychiatrist and other staff that one of my triggers is having voices raised at me (due to abuse). What does …

  51. The staff was great except for one old nurse who left the light on and door wide open all night when I was on the last day of detox. Dr. Esparza wrote a prescription in unreadable handwriting, and refused to answer calls or messages from my …

  52. Facilities like this are what you make of them. That said, some hospitals make that harder than others. Cedar Hills is not one of them. I was able to get what I needed from my stay here, I was treated very well and found all of the staff to …

  53. DO NOT GO HERE!!!!! For addiction it seems like it might be a good fit but for mental health it is not. I got put on a detox wing and I was there for mental health. It was terrible. There were a couple Mental Health Tech’s that were …

  54. If I could give this facility zero stars, I would. I spent six days here and I hated every single one of them. I felt so alone and not one of my problems were really addressed. Just shoved medication down my throat and eat tasteless food …

  55. I am traumatized by the treatment I recieved at this hospital. From the moment walking in the doors I was stripped of my modesty. I was forced to do a skin strip, where I was told to undress and show them my skin for any injuries. Even when …

  56. As a RN, I gained a lot of experience with mental health and detox. Despite the many shortcomings of management and administration, my coworkers are what made my time there valuable. There’s nothing like working for a place for almost a …

  57. Had the worst experience for a family member. Although many of the staff were nice, they weren’t actually helping in the way needed. No one bothered to bring food to a patient with an eating disorder. No one explained how things worked or …

  58. They pretty much just make sure you don’t kill yourself, and that’s all this place is really good for. They’re incredibly disorganized. It took them an hour during checkout to even give me my “contraband” belongings back because they …

  59. Best experience for medication stabilization. Nurses were super helpful, as well as the numerous, highly qualified mental health technicians. They made you feel safe, and understood when you need it the most.

  60. It’s a bad place, if you think your going to get care? You ain’t. Staff is there to pretend their doing their job but they are there to collect their check. They lost my duffle bag with items in it that my wife drop off with my personal …

  61. Avoid at all costs. You couldn’t pay me to come back here, forget getting *me* to pay them again. I had a mental health crisis that landed me in the ER, and the ER referred me here. The staff psychiatrist misdiagnosed me, prescribed meds …

  62. This isn’t a perfect hospital and you’re not allowed to have things that you would normally be allowed at most hospitals. When you are there though, you are there for a reason…to get help! I was there for a week for my Major Depressive …

  63. If you expect your counselors to read your file, or anything you fill out in group – This is not the place for you.
    If you would like group leaders who are consistently late and have no “plan” for …

  64. I just got home today from a 10 day stay at cedar hills. I have never been treated this poorly by a facility in my life. During my assessment it was made evident that I needed to be admitted (suicidal ideation and severe depression) I also …

  65. When I was recently inpatient, I was severely suicidal due to overwhelming anxiety symptoms such as hives ect, was having severe rage episodes and required two different types of a type of benzodiazpines and and an antipsychotic/ sedative …

  66. I have never, ever in my life been so horrifically mistreated the way I was at the psychiatric facility in Cedar Hills. This is not my first or longest stay at a psychiatric ward but it wins by a landslide for the most horrific conditions, …

  67. This was the worst place I have EVER experienced!! I was on a 72 hour hold, during this time I was neglected, mistreated, starved because I’m a Vegan and denied medical attention or treatment for my chronic ailment. The therapist made my …

  68. We took my wife in for assessment. She is a very sick lady and we desperately need help. For whatever reason they said she was not eligible for in-patient care. I believe you have to tell them you are going to kill yourself to get in. The …

  69. I was greatly disappointed with this facility. The facilities are old and need remodeling, more then half of the advertising is entirely misleading and untrue, the food was worse then standard military food (and that is saying something), …

  70. Is this place an insurance scam?! I was transferred to Cedar Hills Hospital after originally checking myself in to another facility for alcohol detox. On my first night at the first facility I was woken and told my insurance wouldn’t cover …

  71. Severely understaffed. Very dirty. Rushed doctors that don’t go over labs or anything. You get an hour of cell phone time which is super weird for a psych ward having people with their phones and cameras ah patient privacy!

  72. This place is the worst. I went in detoxing. they gave me the wrong meds and sent me into further me harsh withdrawl. When you go in they take your clothes and go through them. Well when they took mine they kept my warmest sweaters even …

  73. I was in CHH until about 6 days ago and I can’t say enough good things about them and there staff I’ve been in my fair amount of psych units and this was by far the best there staff were kind and caring and just phenomenal they want to help you however they can the groups were really insightful I just can’t say enough, top notch

  74. The state of their billing system is poor in my opinion and the patients are unfairly paying for it with their time (anxiety) and wallet. My story is below. …

  75. To preface this, many of the reviews higher than one star have only 1-2 total reviews so I would assume they are fake to drive up their score, the others are from staff members, or are because they liked some of the staff. This place should …

  76. My brother was transfered there from. Providence hospital in Newberg just a few days ago. Because he had some kind of mental break after learning our dad was being put on hospice and will not be with us much longer. I have fried several …

  77. I was sent here after having a BPD rage that included suicidal behavior, I have asthma and brought my inhaler with me and after 2 days of not talking to any doctors, being denied a phone charger to access important contacts (work, …

  78. I live over 2 hours from the facility. I did all the intake over the phone before I went to check in. I was then told I needed a medical release which I was happy to get. I was then told that I was medically excluded because I had a port …

  79. Susan at the front desk was incredible … she has a great demeanor and skill set from what I could assess, and the rest of the staff was extremely friendly and competent! Thanks so much!

  80. I was here both for inpatient and the LGBTQ+ IOP programs. This review will be divided up into two parts to address each program, as they were very distinct experiences. …

  81. The Women’s Group is a very supportive and educational space for therapy. Therapy is not easy and it’s hard to open up so I really appreciated the safe space to continue to learn and heal.

  82. Family member delivered here by supervisor at his work. Psych. spoke to him, but he related he couldn’t even understand her because of her thick accent and he I’d partially deaf. Staff appear to be dismissive and not invested in what is best for individuals. I’d never recommend this “hospital.”

  83. Half of the staff is very kind and helpful, the other half on the other hand…you can tell their just there for a paycheck and you do not matter to them.Outpatient is okay. Mindy is a great group leader. in past groups i’ve been in, people …

  84. This is a difficult place for “healing”.
    The setting is institutional, similar to what a state hospital might be. It seems many of the staff: nurses, psych docs, ‘assistants’ on the floor (not sure of …

  85. There are 2 or 3 really good people who work in this sinking ship and they deserve a better work environment, but the experience of being here was traumatic for me. A RN named Heidi Schuler told me that she hoped I actually killed my self …

  86. This place has horrible customer service. My son was in this facility Feb. 2021. I have an auto payment setup. I have called and left 4 messages with no call back. I need to know my balance. This should have been paid off by now, but they keep taking money out every month.

  87. I was lucky enough to be in CH Therapist Bri Smith’s LGBT+ online IOP group. Bri Smith is a responsive, affirming therapist with a vibrant personality who has a deep understanding of the challenges and intersectionality that face folks in …

  88. The IOP is pretty good – I found it very helpful. The extra support is okay – parts of it are opaque, such as when or if you will be seeing a psychiatrist. The billing is TERRIBLE. …

  89. I think a lot of what I experienced here was illegal, there wasn’t enough staff to support patients, I never felt safe and felt like I could have been killed by a random patient for over a month due to lack of staff, nobody answered any of …

  90. Worked there in direct patient care nursing for about a year. I have over 8years of in patient psych experience. This hospital, simply put, run like a business, rampant patient neglect and abuse. Hostile environment all around – both from …

  91. I just completed the Mental Health Intense Outpatient Program (IOP) via Zoom with Tyler G and it had a bigger impact on my life than I ever could have imagined. I came to the support group struggling with a specific trauma experience, and …

  92. Re-writing my review:
    I called yesterday because I was extremely suicidal and I wanted an assessment from a professional. I called ahead and said I’d be there around 4pm. I arrive at …

  93. My daughter checked into this clinic voluntarily. She and her doctor came to an agreement for discharge. When the day came, none of the nurses on the floor knew anything about it. When my daughter tried to voluntarily leave, they …

  94. Cedar Hills has a discriminatory “weight limit” for admissions. I sat with a friend in the ER for 2 1/2 days while we organized her transfer, only to be turned away last minute because of her WEIGHT. Nothing else. Just her weight. My friend …

  95. My recent stay was very beneficial and needed. The staff is very caring and compassionate. I should have spent a few more days but insurance wouldn’t allow. The food is excellent. The only thing I would change would be thicker mattresses.

  96. I’m not one for writing terrible reviews, I usually let a place burn itself down but this was by far a terrible experience. Some of the staff (there are few) were nice and caring but the communication from doctor to patients is a joke. The …

  97. cedar hills was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life… this coming directly after an event that made me want to end my life. over medicated, the most common thing I heard every patient say every day was “how long have I been …

  98. My experience could not have realistically been much worse. I was in an outpatient program for 8 weeks and eventually ended up leaving the program earlier due to the psychiatrist leaving the program and my therapist instructing us to go to …
