this place does more harm than good. mats as beds, a thin blanket, 15 minute room checks, awful food, b00ty juice, restraints, always somebody fighting, alarms going off always due to that.
This place is so horrible my dad went there for about a month and the staff didn’t give him the time of day to talk or tell them how he feels the staff are mean ppl and I my advice is to stay away from this place
This place is terrible the nurses are rude the adm staff is worse all they care about is the money I have called the state and reported them to start an investigation on them
this place only increases the issues it tries to solve… or in its case, it even lacks the effort to try to help, only making everything so much worse than it was before going. Never, under any circumstances, go here
Impossible to get help. Impossible to get an opening to come in. The staff says they’ll put you on a waiting list and call you and they NEVER HAVE ONCE.
It was really great there Ive definitely had a learning experience there the staff was really helpful an friendly if I had a chance to go back there I would it’s so beautiful there
I wish I could give negative stars to this terrible place, their terrible staff most importantly the most generous owner who responds to all of our complaints! If I could really tell you how I feel…
I was a patient there about six years ago , The place scared me to death, no
Privacy, was afraid to go to sleep at night, during day a man patient hollering &cursing up and down hallway, a girl patient overturned a couch in sitting area, …
THIS HOSPITAL HAD A HARD WORKING STAFF WHILE I WAS THERE AND BENT OVER BACKWARDS TO TRY TO ACCOMMODATE THE DEMANDS OF A GROUP OF PATIENTS WHO OFTEN CHALLENGED THEM ON EVERY LEVEL. THE CARING ATTITUDE AND OVERALL PATIENCE AND …
Frist off the food sucked and the staff was not nice in one way. They didn’t seem to care about the clients at all. Doctor’s seem ok here I don’t recmmend this place to anyone
5 hour wait just to get someone into rehab. They need to fire everybody working there… Uncaring, unfriendly, unprofessional. I had better service at the DMV!!!
They put me through hell with false diagnosis snuck medication into drink gang stalking behavior manipulated an already messed up situation you cannot trust them I was forced to go the only place that may be worse is Trinitas in Elizabeth if u wanna keep the mental health u have left stay away they terrorized me
No help at all. A waste of time and money. These people have no clue of how to treat anything. Insist on another hospital. Unless you want to spend your time making collages and singing. No one on one counseling offered. Patience just drugged all day. A nightmare.
Wouldn’t take my wife in when she was in crisis, and had ahead been through the ER. Which did nothing. What dies it say about a psychiatric hospital that refuses to even see a patient in the throws of a mixed manic episode?
1 start is a lot for the poor attention this institution provide to the teens, if you want your kid suffer and be worst than they really are, then this is it. My recommendation as a mother, stay away from this institution, otherwise it will devastate your family.
Saved my life!! Very clean environment friendly staff Excellent Drs (Dr Belz), nurses, counselors and Social Workers
The only people who gave negative feedback in my opinion are the ones that did not take the effort to personally reach out and take advantage of all the above mentioned. 😎👍 …
Today 5/3/2017 First day in T.O.P and I had a bad experience. You suppose to leave with less anxiety, angry, etc. This place did not help me at all. I was there for another reason, fears and angers issues, from 9am to 12pm. This …
i was there as a minor in 2009/2010. Nurse Pam and Heather were the best and treated me reallly nicely and they encouraged me to wanna be like them…this hospital sucked though
I was there in july 2018 for detox and Rehab… The Staff Nurses and Doctors did a great job… The food was great and more then enough… The Social Workers especially Maryann went above abd beyond.. I had a little bump in the road with my dicharge plans but they worked to solve the issue quickly…. Id recommend this place to anyone…
This place has the RUDEST STAFF . Very unprofessional people answering telephones they don’t even say “Hello” or they might NOT EVEN CARE what are you calling for and they put you straight on hold and kept you there for minutes repeating …
I swear that I was assaulted by the staff there I got a black eye cracked ribs and a concussion. They would not let me go to the hospital. I’m looking for help to get justice for myself and everyone else effected by the sick staff that punish disabled people in there most vulnerable state.

This place needs to give me a call I’m so disgusted and upset w the way the whole set up was , the nurses were rude as hell. Understaffed and overpacked just give you meds to knock you out
This place saved my life 7 years ago. They wasted no time and immediately changed my medications to the ones that have kept me stable. It’s the nicest inpatient hospital I have ever been to.
I wouldn’t go here. Most of these hospitals are garbage. All Staff except one African American Nurse in Unit are rude and unhelpful. Security was more helpful. Dr. Is a rude as well
I was there in 2014. They help me in only one way, which is make my stay horrible so I wouldnt come back. I was there for 7 days, and everyday I was yelled at, and twice the staff became physical with me because I was upset and didnt listen to them. If I could I would give them a -5 starr review.
Absolutelly the worst intake process. We were there almost 4 1/2 hours. The staff didn’t even check on us (the family). I am sorry to say that I have had experiences with rehabs and this was absolutely the worst. We have no idea who to …
I have to jump in here. Summit oaks saved my life. It is not meant to be a resort. This is a place to heal and in rehabilitation I needed to never want to go through detox again. I was given the medication and the tools to reenter my life and continue the program they gave me
Unfortunately, the nature of this facility being a place that helps drug addicts, your going to get opinions galore based no where in reality. I am in recovery, and there are many things that I have realized about the nature of this …
If you want to go temporarily insane, then go here. I was committed and tricked by the doctor and the hospital I was at before to sign a thing called a 48 hour notice. That notice is the catch all scheme to get patients to either leave …
Where do I start?? This place is an absolute DUMP with NO intentions of helping ANYONE in it! I was sent there “Voluntarily” and for 3 days it was just a money grab from my insurance. I’ve since contacted a lawyer who is filing a lawsuit on …
This hospital manipulates patients off of false pretenses. My brother signed in willingly for rehab with the understanding that he could sign himself out free of will. They are currently keeping him against his will!!!! As well as forcefully medicating him against his will! Let my brother go!!!!!
I been to quite a few mental hospitals and this was by far the worst. The day of my discharge my mom was late and they tried to make me stay an extra day and I cried to my mom I can’t it too bad here lucky she came at 12 am and they almost didn’t let her take me
How could a place not have sinks or hand sanitizer in the bathrooms that patients use disgusting dirty place they make the patients go all the way back to there rooms to use the sinks and wash up after , guy doing blood work on patients …
Beware their billing department! My daughter stayed here and we were sent a bill in April, which was paid in May. At the end of July we received letters demanding payment and threatening collections, legal action and credit reporting. We …
I do not recommend this facility. I’m reluctant to describe what I experienced and witnessed during my (brief) stay some years ago. Suffice to say that the memories of my convalescing at this facility are filled with pain, chagrin and …
I have taken many alcoholics/addicts to Summit Oaks for Detox and short-stay rehab, this facility is horrid. I have seem animals receive better treatment. Outcomes are poor; I have been sober 10 years and have yet to sponsor a man that …
This took me 2 years to write, the hospital is terrible I stayed there for a week and they made me take medicine which made me incoherent it was like a foggy haze, I couldn’t focus they said if you don’t take it you will stay here for 3 …
My little brother, age 13 at the time, is traumatized from his experience here. He has a mild form of Autism but went into crisis in 2015. Not only did his experience make things worse but they changed NOTHING. His meds were not adjusted at …
Was ulumni here like 2010 n again 2011 n 12 i believe. Was a frequent flier. 7 yrs clean after jail n homelessness. Great place. Skorupksi was my doc. Hes the drummer for a band i love so it was cool. Wanna see since its been renovated. Is Larry still there older bald gelteman? Wonderful guy…
I almost didn’t come here bc of these whack reviews. This place is the best place I’ve ever been to, including when I had private insurance. They saved my life. Food good, staff good, meds were good in detox literally everything on point
I think SOME of the staff could have been nicer. But if you ever go there as for Mrs.Pam in the adolecent unit. She is the best. Very clean. Therepy’s are great. I made tons of friends there. I reccommend this place for anyone who needs inpatient rehab.
this place is gross. They put me on meds that got me angry for no reason. The rooms were gross I learned bad habits there I would always cry it was so cold and one my first day I was crying to go back home
This is not the first IOP program I have been to in NJ and it is by far the best. The staff are incredible and really care about the patients. Made a 100 percent difference in my recovery and I will always be grateful for that. I hear some …
I have to say everyone was wonderful i made new friends i had some cyberbullying online but this summit oakes helpd alot! Thank you dr s for everything god bless you all xoxo 💋 I highly recommend if anyone needs mental health its this one i …
I had to get a staff FIRED. The charge nurse for adolecent inpatient was such a horrible person who didn’t give a rat’s ads about people’s triggers. I complained multiple times and finally she was released from the job. Boys and girls …
This hospital should be shut down. They mentally abuse their patients and ensure there progress remains stagnant. If the patient has insurance they make sure to keep them in the hospital for as long as possible so they can suck up every …
My daughter had to stay at Summit Oaks for about a week and when my wife and I went to see her on her second day, she was crying and begging us to take her home because she was feeling homesick and that the staff were being rude to her and …
I have been a patient at Summit Oaks six times since 2012. The first 5 times was in the adolescent unit, and I must admit, each and every time I felt like I was in a living hell. In September, I was admitted to the adult dual diagnosis unit …
If I could give -50 stars I would. Summit Oaks treats patients like they are animals and deserve to be caged up. I was supposed to see a male psychiatrist there, but they forced me to see Dr Hassan, a female doctor who spoke …
DO NOT allow your child to be sent to this facility!!
We requested a facility with better services and were willing to travel for those services rather than send our grandson to a local facility that we had heard …
I was here 3 times and only because there was not a bed elsewhere. I got worse each time and ended back up in another hospital. The staff are terrible and uncaring. The doctors threatned me constantly. Place is filthy and poorly managed. I …
DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU VALUE YOUR SANITY. If i could rate 0 stars I would. This dirty, money focused “hospital” is horrendously understaffed and feels that cramming psych and detox patients together is a healthy idea. There is roughly 3-5 …
I was 15 years of age when admitted to this place they forced me to watch the same movie everyday the nurses were abusive. I had to pretend I was better to leave this institution since then I have not felt comfortable seeking mental help. They do everything with force. Someone needs to petition to shut this establishment down.
Staff is strictly unprofessional and highly inappropriate. You leave your loved ones in this detox center for care but all they do is drug them up… staff is rude on the phone and the nurses simply don’t care and think they can shout in …
Horrible. Had a seizure there. Received no treatment. Received no treatment in general. Horrible food. Asked for a plastic knife and they claimed they had no more. It was more as of they were too lazy to walk to another floor. Almost the …
I just completed the nighttime CDIOP program at Summit Oaks. I had a wonderful and meaningful experience thanks in large part to Zac, Kevin, Hannah, Hannah, and Nicole, the patient, understanding, and intelligent counselors who ran the …
Food was good but groups were boring, only thing I enjoyed were the other patients, I stayed entirely too long when I was absolutely okay, I spent my fathers birthday and July. 4th in there, only plus side they allowed me to watch CNN
I came to this facility expecting to be treated for bipolar episodes and then released after 7 DAYS, at least that’s what I was told by the incredibly rude staff. On the seventh day, I felt a lot better with my medication changes, and I was …
I discharged from this hospital a few days ago after being treated for Bipolar Depression. I literally, and I mean L-I-T-E-R-A-L-L-Y do not have the time or energy or the memory sharpness (thanks lithium) to recall every horrid thing that …
My 19 yr old daughter overdosed on Thursday February 16 . She was AT summit oaks morning program. She was able to purchase drugs from another patient. She went home and few hrs later by the grace of God a friend and the paramedics brought …
Horrible and rude nurses in the detox unit! They don’t know how to talk to families that are hurting with a loved one in the inside and they don’t know how to properly detox anyone! Go there if you just wanna get another addiction other …
My stay at Summit Oaks was very intense. They are a professional group of people of whom are not concerned with troublesome behaviors such as those not there strictly for rehabilitation. They do not babysit, they teach. There mission is to …
its a bittersweet feeling. they are taking my best friend away, but it’s for her own good. I live her to death and I want her to be happy and be healthy. It sucks to see her go but it is for the best. Take good care of her. Handle with care.
I hope people looking for help realize that, as a facility treating recovering addicts and patients with mental illness, there will be patients completely unwilling and even angry to have to go through treatment, hence the skewed reviews. …
Recently we were admitted to the inpatient Unit 1 for a week. All staffs, either we met in person, or we talked on the phone, were very friendly and helpful. Dr. Galvez is compassionate and is willing to spend time talking with the family. In addition, the facility is new and clean.
Provided wi to meds but didnt provide good 1 on 1 i waited 5 days to even soeak to somone and thats because i made it an issue and they dont have that many groups u just sitting around wait to eat and watching tv all day…
The day time staff was pleasant, group activities were helpful, and food was good, but night staff was rude and disrespectful. Night time hospital procedures has staff popping into your room every 15 minutes to check on patients. Sleep …
Went here 10 yrs ago. Been sober since Sept 21, 2009. Its not a country club. It’s to get well. Sober .. They did something right. I never wanted to go back. I enjoy my freedom. Food was ok. Cant comment on anything except detox. The personal stories were very helpful. I didnt feel judged or shamed.
My Aunt came here to GET HELP, which their website states that they help with detox & mental issues…… COMPLETE LIES. Not even 24 hours after being admitted , they told her she wasn’t “wanted” there & the social worker would find her …
This Place Is The Most Horrible Psychiatric Ward I Have Ever Seen! It still gives me nightmares! I was there for 15 days and they did not know how to properly detox me. It’s a prison in the shape of a building. There’s a nurses station …
Due to the fact that I had no other option, I gave it one star, however, this pathetic, fraudulent excuse for a hospital is actually a poor disservice to individuals and should be shut down immediately. Unless you want to end up with acute …
If you are serious about your recovery come here. If you are not serious and do not want to become clean, you will be MISERABLE here and you cannot leave whenever you want, you have to give a 48 hour notice and wait to be medically cleared. …
First I have to say that 95% of the nursing staff were awesome. The Doctor I had was useless. The social workers just as bad! They were all jammed into a tiny little office and I know that Hipaa violations were broken. I heard them talking …
I can’t comment on inpatient (which seems to have mixed reviews) BUT I can comment on OUTPATIENT. I attended the Intensive Outpatient Program for depression and anxiety for over 10 weeks and it helped tremendously. The staff were educated …
Under no circumstance should anyone even consider being admitted into this hospital. My son was a patient there and I would never recommend this place to anyone. I witnessed the staff scream at the patients (which were children and …
Prior to starting, I was nervous about completing an internship here due to the reviews I read online. However, my experience at Summit Oaks was exceptional. On the unit I was assigned, the staff was helpful, informative, and down to earth. …
Nothing but a placeholder for the mentally ill. No therapy. Only medicaiton managment until you are set free; mentally healthy or not. As with all psych ward and rehab styles, seroquel, trazadone and remeron are prescribed as “off label” …
I was here years ago. I was maybe 13 or 14 at the time. The place was dirty, there were rats crawling all over the place. The staff there have no idea what they are doing as well as the counselors. …
Worst experience ever. Would not recommend this place to anyone. Did not receive medicine despite being told that I would be ordered something for my severe alcohol withdrawal. Ended up being transfered out as a result to a local hospital. …
Hello my name is jose mendes i was overall satisfied with my detox at summit oaks at unit 5 dual diagnosis i would like to thank my doctor Mr. Young for paying attention for my needs and perscribing me the right medicine i would alao like …
I entered Summit Oaks Rehabilitation Center back in 2010 and was clean for 3 year’s but then lost both of my parent’s and three it away. I am choosing to go back to Summit Oaks specifically because everyone there is helpful, compassionate …
Had a patient hospitalized here recently. They neglected to understand his trauma history. I, his physician, was told by the inpatient psychiatrist and social worker that I could visit at any time. I drove from NY to visit at 9am, and was …
RUDEST staff ever. Most DISGUSTING place ever. If I could give this 0 stars I would. The social worker i was given here, didn’t do her job and never once called my therapist. The effect of her action, caused me to stay at this terrible …
intimadating staff for some reason. The pills I was given made me feel sick. But nothing was over the top. They were more about who was gonna hook up afterward than who needed the help.Not for the faint of heart there’s gotta be better …
This is my opinion… I believe that the staff do the best that they can. Everybody needs to realize that the staff has to deal with a lot of BS from the same annoying people complaining. I’m lucky that I was accepted with my insurance 3 …
Its been 5 years since Ive been to this place but the horrifying experience here has still never left me. I was in the adolescence unit and the majority of the nurses there were all extremely rude, mean and even condescending and abusive. …
I don’t know where to start. When my family member was being sent here I called with questions. The woman who answered was not nice at all and after being in the ER for 20 hours tired and worried she brought me to tears. We were not …
I was a patient there in 2009. This was the most horrific thing I have ever experienced. I was sent here from a Job Corps not too far for depression and a drug addiction. The staff was ok but too happy to use those tranquilizer needles. I …
I was in the adolescent unit for 6 days 4 years ago. I was verbally abused by the staff and the therapist during my stay. I was also physically abused during my stay, which shocked me. Out of all the staff there was only ONE that I felt …
Worst psychiatric hospital ever! They strip you naked for a drug search. Talk about being uncomfortable when your admitted for mental health. The staff had no idea what they were doing. I was admitted into the wrong ward. They never …
the adolescent hospital was awful. It was a constant battle between patients and staff because they did not accept our needs or listen when we told them something. The staff was rude and not tolerant of the patients and simply did the bare …
The staff were horrible with the exception of a couple. The food is alright. There is no one on one counseling provided in the detox or rehab units. The only positive was I had a very nice doctor and she was awesome. Tight restrictions on …
Where to even begin with this review. Summit oaks was literal hell. It’s a psychological based hospital and the psychiatrist attempt to make people worse then when they came in. At one point I was on 10 different meds hallucinating. I went …
This place is not as horrible as it might seem from other reviews. Staff is respectful and treats patients well. The hospital is clean. Patient rooms are pretty basic but livable. During the day there’re activities patients can participate …
My name is Chana. I was in Summit Oaks Hospital in August of 2019. I stayed two weeks. A very jolly ambulance team accompanied me to Summit Oaks. They made me laugh and let me eat snacks. When I got to Summit Oaks I was wheeled in on a …
When I was seventeen in November, I was sent to the children and adolescent unit. The experience was horrific. The white cinderblock walls give me chills to think about. My first memory of entering the floor in my scrubs was of a nurse …
I am so happy after my loved one who is there told me the true state of the hospital. She said she loved her doctors and social workers. She also said the food was great! I was so worried after reading all of the bad reviews. I just spoke …
This hospital is certainly not fit for psychiatric treatment for children or adolescents. There is zero therapy offered to adolescents that have any type of problem. The program is simply keeping the kids in a small uncomfortable common …
Beware of this place. Even though its non-profit the organization it is all about money. They don’t offer any payment plans, threaten you with collections if you don’t pay up front. Some of the staff needs a attitude check or something. My …
Worse IOP I’ve been too Dr Domingo kicked me out the first day cuz I rather have medical marijuana than take pain pills
That man made me feel like I was nothing for him there no compassion caring or …
Recently got discharged from this hospital I was there 6/19/19-7/1/19 as a voluntary patient because I was suicidal- NEXT TIME I WILL JUST KILL MYSELF rather than ever got back there. It’s so understaffed it’s ridiculous with a ratio of …
Intimidating staff. The pills made me feel sick. They were ready to put you to sleep over small things like being rude or refusing to move your seat. This place isn’t for the faint of heart. I was forced to get completely naked for no …
This place needs ALOT MORE staff my experience was horrible! A girl got beat on the abuser got no action taken on her!!!! Night shift is especially horrible!!! Watch your back in this place. Because some staff definitely won’t!!!! They have NO CONTROL over anything here!!!
i was in the adolescent ward for only 3 1/2 days over a year ago and i am still severely traumatized. i lost a significant amount of weight because the food was horrible and unfulfilling, i got no sleep due to the 15min night checks, and …
extremely traumatizing experience. absolutely awful mental ward. I was there for 22 days in 2014, and i still cant even think about the place without shaking. there were some staff that were caring and kind, but the rest of the staff and …
If only I can give a negative amount of stars. I had a family member, who is only a teen, stay there. They lost weight from most of the crappy food given. Not to mention that the staff treated them with no kindness and respect. When my …
Absolutely terrible. I stayed in the children’s ward on 6/30/17 and got out on 7/7/17. It seems very nice from the outside, but it’s a disgusting place on the inside. The staff were terrible. They were very rude to other patients and I. I …
I have mixed emotions about the adolescent unit here. I was here for like 6/7 days and upon my arrival all the kids and staff seemed very nice. And nothing changed about the other kids there. But there are some staff that definitely are …
I don’t need the “owner” to send me a message talking about how concerned they are and that I can reach out to them. You aren’t concerned. People having been complaining for years and it seems you haven’t done much. …
I realize the place is maybe not up to date and it needs a renovation but saved my daughter’s life who was 12 at the time. Amazing staff and there was an indian doctor there who was just amazing i wish i remembered her name but she was …
parents, no matter what anyone tells you: do NOT allow your child to be sent here!! at age 14 i was sent to the child/adolescent psych unit at summit oaks and i have never encountered a worse facility in my life. from the first moment i …
My mother was admitted to this rehab about a week ago because it was the only place in the area that accepted her insurance and we were looking to get her into somewhere as soon as possible. So far I’ve been in contact with three different …
My son was there far too long (over a month). He was over-medicated (9 pills a day)by the physician on staff. A young man who was never on any medication for mental health issues, was put on an enormous amount of medications. He was begging …
I was here almost 6 years ago but after looking at the most recent reviews I see that this place hasn’t changed one bit. I was 18 at the time and in a really bad spot mentally. There was absolutely nothing beneficial about this place. There …
Was there for a third time recently. It was worse than I remembered. I wasn’t there detoxing or anything- I was sent involuntarily because I was depressed. Dr. S called my outside psychiatrist “the guy with the speech impediment” and told …
Update: sent a message per the response below….4 weeks ago, still have had no response. They really do not care. They do not keep the family in the loop and they discharge with very limited instruction. My minor child was there and we had very little input, very little contact and very little information.
I am a type 1 diabetic. Before I was put on psychiatric medication with high blood sugars my mood swings from happy to depressed to self harm thoughts pretty quickly. The staff here refused to treat me correctly they put me on a sliding …
This place is not designed for someone suffering from addiction. Waited in the lobby for 6 hours to check my boyfriend in, if he wasnt sleeping he would have left. Anyone who knows the mind of an addict knows this. No counselor to speak to, another vital importance. Meds late, no staff. Once they get your money it seems they don’t care.
Honestly, it wasn’t too horrible. But, some of the nurses were very rude. Especially this one girl, I was just leaving and she caught me hugging my bestfriend and she screamed at me. First of all, their are kids there with PTSD and are …
Just about every step of the way dealing with Summit Oaks was painful. When you place your child in the hands of health care professionals you expect professionalism, structure. From the very beginning my experience with this hospital was …
I had been forced to be here for 27 days a few years back. The adolescent unit was terrible. The staff were generally rude and obnoxious, and many didnt care for our mental health. While i understand working with mentally ill children can …
nah man this place was not it. i was in the under 18 program for 3 weeks. the food was disgusting, the staff was extremely rude, the psychiatrist needs her license taken away (she thought i was making everything up and told my parents …
I have never been to a more poorly run place in my life…and they have mice, toilet bugs, washer and dryer doesn’t work, phones don’t work, and there’s ALWAYS a toilet clogged!! They told me to bring ALL my meds here, and I didn’t get even …
The first few days were an adjustment and getting to know the other kids there. But after I got comfortable it started to feel more like a sleep over at times. There’s a chill tech there named Cedric who will play cards and chess with you …
Whatever you do, stay clear away from this place. They release patients with ZERO aftercare plans and without a supply of medications that their staff put them on. In short, they set up people to relapse and make into lifelong patients …
People give this place a bad rap but you have to want and try to get the help. It’s not always fun but you can get the help you need here. Between the staff and the patients everyone is looking out for each other. The inpatient program must be followed up by outpatient to ensure bettering yourself. 🙂
This place brings back some very enlightening memories. I remember the time where I only had one friend at the Psych Ward, and I read the book Charlottes Web. There should always be books here because it really saved me from so much trauma …
No communication with staff, no assistance with aftercare, the doctors didn’t listen to medication issues ( the medicine my child was prescribed was not accessible to get in our area due to lack of in person psychiatric care), none of …
I was hospitalized here in February and was there for 8 days. I do understand why there are so so many negative reviews because there is so much they could change. I read a review that said that there was a strong smell of cigarette smoke …
If you are looking for a Hospital to get better DO NOT go to Summit Oaks. The website states that their is yoga, meditation, pet therapy, one on one therapies, etc. NONE of that happened while I was there for a week. Going forward their …
I was not getting any information about my daughter despite her been a minor and been admitted without my concent. Social worker identified herself as admin narrator and in my way out ran into Mr. Friedman the CEO so thanks to him I was …
It has taken me a year and a half to write this review. It still hurts that we had to send our 7 year old to any psychiatric hospital. On the outside the place looks welcoming, inside where the patients stay is so-so. All in all, I don’t …
this place brings me back bad memories. I was only eight at the time and I was diagnosed with ptsd a few months before and came out with severe ptsd. the staff werent welcoming and neither was the living space. I was there for 3 months. …
I just recently got discharged from the children’s unit after staying for a week. It was a really great help, and I left the hospital feeling better than I can remember in a really, really long time. Staff were generally very helpful, and …
They aren’t available 24/7 like they say as well as it must be for rich people only, they don’t accept veterans. It’s a fake rehab no one answers your call.
This place is a waste of time. You literally sit around all day with no treatment. The staff are mostly rude and the accommodations are poor. We had no dryer for over a week and had to dry our clothes outside. The food is subpar and rooms are dirty. I would not recommend this place to my dog!
It was horrible I couldn’t use my phone nothing I don’t wanna come there again but sometimes the food was nice but I liked some of it and some of the people that were there I guess
They call this place healing compassion but the nurse in unit 5 Patricia was nasty and cold and flat. Completely nasty and unprofessional. They said they were discharging my daughter who is not ready and she was so nasty about it. The …
back in April I stayed at summit oaks, I was in the adolescent program and to be honest, it sucked but so does every mental hospital, am I right? this hospital however sucked a lot less. I would love love love to give a special thanks to …
The social worker, Ashley, was very good with my son. The psychiatrist, on the other hand, made a very quick diagnosis, that was incorrect. She did not like being questioned and quickly prescribed a medication that did not help my son with …
My thoughts on this place is 50/50 the staff for the most part are decent the food is what it is its ok even though other reviews say it’s horrible you do have the option of family bringing you food my main complaint is boredom they need more groups and activities for people to do other then that if needed yeah I would go back
Food is always cold, Half of the staff is really disrespectful to patients. Summit Oaks only gives you one blanket and it’s freezing at night and in the morning. I don’t recommend this place for your children’s
I went when COVID was a little bad but to me it was 50 50 I felt that it needed more stuff for us to do not sit around all day some nurses where ok some u can tell they was there for the money I have to leave early cause the COVID was …
No security. Lots code 85’s/ fighting. Otherwise, all of the nurses and doctors and social workers were 👍 only thing that bothered me was I was told I could go to rehab and was stuck in detox for over 3 weeks waiting for a bed. I arrived there sober . I was sober for 11 days 🤔 …
This place was no help to me at all. Majority of the staff were rude and would blatantly ignore us patients. At times it seemed to be very disorganized and we barely had any therapeutic groups. If you want to go to a place that is quick to …
A extreme waste of time.. the staff there could careless about there patients or doing their jobs.my son went there tested COVID negative 3 times before being admitted. Contracted COVID there and they proceed to sent him home while being …
The admission lady at night is very very rude . Be careful where you send your loved ones everybody isn’t here to help. I will make sure no body I know goes here first person .
I don’t usually take my time to write reviews but.. this was the worst experience ever. I was here just a few weeks ago in the 5-17 unit.. I thought it would’ve been okay but it’s just straight up terrible. The foods terrible, the nurses …
I usually don’t write reviews, but if I can spare someone the grief of admitting themselves or their loved ones to this facility this will be worth it. If I could give the intake facility less than one star I would. I was unfortunately a …
I hated this. The beds were actual gymnastics mats with sheets, the pillows were made of plastic bags with pillowcases on them, it was always cold in the morning, the food was absolutely terrible, you can only make 5 minute phone calls to …
My child was on the adolescent unit. Ashley, the social worker, was rude, condescending and combative not just toward myself but others in my child’s care team as well. The doctors are incompetent and dismissive as well. I tried leaving a …
Hi this is coming from moe and flora. The staff were honestly kind of rude, especially that one old lady with the beanie she was threatening to take away our Cheetos while peacefully watching spy kids. She wouldn’t open the door for me when …
shoutout to the doctor in the kids unit!! Because of you, my mental health is way worse than what it was when I first got there. They rush your stay there, even if you show the tiniest improvement, they’re ready to send you home. it’s …
DO NOT GO HERE if you have problems being in spaces you cannot leave. I was basically held hostage unable to leave despite asking 3 people to let me out, they’re uncommunicative, OF COURSE people are going to scream and freak out when you …
I was here for 12 days, and it was pretty traumatizing for my first time in this sort of place, nurses were rude, made fun of the patients here and, the food was just terrible, something serious happened during my last few days here and …
I went into the detox unit for methadone which they are not even equipped to handle, so I should have never been admitted. Anyway, the amount of racism against Caucasian people was Appalling, which was even worse is that it came from some …
The staff is good. Some better than others. Adrian is by far the best nurse there. She was compassionate and showed empathy. The nurse manager on Unit 1 has a bad attitude and treats her staff and patients badly. She wouldnt give me an …
My daughter went to Summit Oaks for detox and rehab. She was mocked and laughed at by the “caring and compassionate nursing staff” when she begged them to call a doctor to give her some comfort meds. She laid in her own vomit for 8 hours …
concentration camp.
if you want to go insane then this is the place to be.
this place does more harm than good. mats as beds, a thin blanket, 15 minute room checks, awful food, b00ty juice, restraints, always somebody fighting, alarms going off always due to that.
the troubled teen industry is messed up. don’t recommend this place.
hospital behavior problems

Excellent place…
Very very nice…
Fire Shay.
Picking up only
This place helps a lot of people.
amazing

Summit Oaks saved my life.
they suck
Do not send your child here it was like a prison
Best healing experience when I was in crisis for depression
Plz avoid. No more words.
It was traumatic
It was horrible!
Do your research first there is better rehabs out there.
rather off myself then go here again.
This place saved my Life. If anyone has an issue with it then they are not ready to get sober.
Very nice staff’s and clean facility.
This place is so horrible my dad went there for about a month and the staff didn’t give him the time of day to talk or tell them how he feels the staff are mean ppl and I my advice is to stay away from this place
Going to do my best to see them shut down.
IOP was excellent here. Chris, Zach and Kevin were excellent counselors.
Place was terrible the nurses wr mean I was there in 2014 and 2016 they won’t even give cold water
will summit oaks maintain a methadone dose while in treatent
Went there in 98…been sober since..good job helping me get clean…God Bless
This place is terrible the nurses are rude the adm staff is worse all they care about is the money I have called the state and reported them to start an investigation on them
the food was disgusting, the staff can be very rude, they force you to socialize & if you don’t they make you stay longer.
this place only increases the issues it tries to solve… or in its case, it even lacks the effort to try to help, only making everything so much worse than it was before going. Never, under any circumstances, go here
Impossible to get help. Impossible to get an opening to come in. The staff says they’ll put you on a waiting list and call you and they NEVER HAVE ONCE.
Inhumane to treat humans that way.
i went in for PTSD, the dr. shieulakowski gave me latuda, and i had a nervous breakdown. …
It was really great there Ive definitely had a learning experience there the staff was really helpful an friendly if I had a chance to go back there I would it’s so beautiful there
I wish I could give negative stars to this terrible place, their terrible staff most importantly the most generous owner who responds to all of our complaints! If I could really tell you how I feel…
rather off myself than go here again.
I was a patient there about six years ago , The place scared me to death, no
Privacy, was afraid to go to sleep at night, during day a man patient hollering &cursing up and down hallway, a girl patient overturned a couch in sitting area, …
THIS HOSPITAL HAD A HARD WORKING STAFF WHILE I WAS THERE AND BENT OVER BACKWARDS TO TRY TO ACCOMMODATE THE DEMANDS OF A GROUP OF PATIENTS WHO OFTEN CHALLENGED THEM ON EVERY LEVEL. THE CARING ATTITUDE AND OVERALL PATIENCE AND …
My family member is currently there it’s only been a few days and she was involved in a
Altercation with another Patient …
Frist off the food sucked and the staff was not nice in one way. They didn’t seem to care about the clients at all. Doctor’s seem ok here I don’t recmmend this place to anyone
5 hour wait just to get someone into rehab. They need to fire everybody working there… Uncaring, unfriendly, unprofessional. I had better service at the DMV!!!
They put me through hell with false diagnosis snuck medication into drink gang stalking behavior manipulated an already messed up situation you cannot trust them I was forced to go the only place that may be worse is Trinitas in Elizabeth if u wanna keep the mental health u have left stay away they terrorized me
No help at all. A waste of time and money. These people have no clue of how to treat anything. Insist on another hospital. Unless you want to spend your time making collages and singing. No one on one counseling offered. Patience just drugged all day. A nightmare.
Wouldn’t take my wife in when she was in crisis, and had ahead been through the ER. Which did nothing. What dies it say about a psychiatric hospital that refuses to even see a patient in the throws of a mixed manic episode?
1 start is a lot for the poor attention this institution provide to the teens, if you want your kid suffer and be worst than they really are, then this is it. My recommendation as a mother, stay away from this institution, otherwise it will devastate your family.
Saved my life!! Very clean environment friendly staff Excellent Drs (Dr Belz), nurses, counselors and Social Workers
The only people who gave negative feedback in my opinion are the ones that did not take the effort to personally reach out and take advantage of all the above mentioned. 😎👍 …
Today 5/3/2017 First day in T.O.P and I had a bad experience. You suppose to leave with less anxiety, angry, etc. This place did not help me at all. I was there for another reason, fears and angers issues, from 9am to 12pm. This …
i was there as a minor in 2009/2010. Nurse Pam and Heather were the best and treated me reallly nicely and they encouraged me to wanna be like them…this hospital sucked though
Literally staff let kid out, when one adult broke glass, sadly a few kids who were suicidal too the shards back to our ccis unit
I was there in july 2018 for detox and Rehab… The Staff Nurses and Doctors did a great job… The food was great and more then enough… The Social Workers especially Maryann went above abd beyond.. I had a little bump in the road with my dicharge plans but they worked to solve the issue quickly…. Id recommend this place to anyone…
This place has the RUDEST STAFF . Very unprofessional people answering telephones they don’t even say “Hello” or they might NOT EVEN CARE what are you calling for and they put you straight on hold and kept you there for minutes repeating …
I swear that I was assaulted by the staff there I got a black eye cracked ribs and a concussion. They would not let me go to the hospital. I’m looking for help to get justice for myself and everyone else effected by the sick staff that punish disabled people in there most vulnerable state.
Jonathan storm
This place needs to give me a call I’m so disgusted and upset w the way the whole set up was , the nurses were rude as hell. Understaffed and overpacked just give you meds to knock you out
This place saved my life 7 years ago. They wasted no time and immediately changed my medications to the ones that have kept me stable. It’s the nicest inpatient hospital I have ever been to.
I wouldn’t go here. Most of these hospitals are garbage. All Staff except one African American Nurse in Unit are rude and unhelpful. Security was more helpful. Dr. Is a rude as well
I was there in 2014. They help me in only one way, which is make my stay horrible so I wouldnt come back. I was there for 7 days, and everyday I was yelled at, and twice the staff became physical with me because I was upset and didnt listen to them. If I could I would give them a -5 starr review.
Absolutelly the worst intake process. We were there almost 4 1/2 hours. The staff didn’t even check on us (the family). I am sorry to say that I have had experiences with rehabs and this was absolutely the worst. We have no idea who to …
I have to jump in here. Summit oaks saved my life. It is not meant to be a resort. This is a place to heal and in rehabilitation I needed to never want to go through detox again. I was given the medication and the tools to reenter my life and continue the program they gave me
Unfortunately, the nature of this facility being a place that helps drug addicts, your going to get opinions galore based no where in reality. I am in recovery, and there are many things that I have realized about the nature of this …
DR.S is the worst doctor that I’ve ever dealt with i cant believe how you can leave a Dr 8 voicemails and not return one of your calls . …
If you want to go temporarily insane, then go here. I was committed and tricked by the doctor and the hospital I was at before to sign a thing called a 48 hour notice. That notice is the catch all scheme to get patients to either leave …
Where do I start?? This place is an absolute DUMP with NO intentions of helping ANYONE in it! I was sent there “Voluntarily” and for 3 days it was just a money grab from my insurance. I’ve since contacted a lawyer who is filing a lawsuit on …
This hospital manipulates patients off of false pretenses. My brother signed in willingly for rehab with the understanding that he could sign himself out free of will. They are currently keeping him against his will!!!! As well as forcefully medicating him against his will! Let my brother go!!!!!
I been to quite a few mental hospitals and this was by far the worst. The day of my discharge my mom was late and they tried to make me stay an extra day and I cried to my mom I can’t it too bad here lucky she came at 12 am and they almost didn’t let her take me
How could a place not have sinks or hand sanitizer in the bathrooms that patients use disgusting dirty place they make the patients go all the way back to there rooms to use the sinks and wash up after , guy doing blood work on patients …
They treat you horrible here and treat you like a zoo animal it’s all true it’s so bad
Beware their billing department! My daughter stayed here and we were sent a bill in April, which was paid in May. At the end of July we received letters demanding payment and threatening collections, legal action and credit reporting. We …
I do not recommend this facility. I’m reluctant to describe what I experienced and witnessed during my (brief) stay some years ago. Suffice to say that the memories of my convalescing at this facility are filled with pain, chagrin and …
I have taken many alcoholics/addicts to Summit Oaks for Detox and short-stay rehab, this facility is horrid. I have seem animals receive better treatment. Outcomes are poor; I have been sober 10 years and have yet to sponsor a man that …
This took me 2 years to write, the hospital is terrible I stayed there for a week and they made me take medicine which made me incoherent it was like a foggy haze, I couldn’t focus they said if you don’t take it you will stay here for 3 …
Great staff and medical personnel. (ONLY)
Horrendous, Incompetent, Unequipped administration. Limited access to such …
My little brother, age 13 at the time, is traumatized from his experience here. He has a mild form of Autism but went into crisis in 2015. Not only did his experience make things worse but they changed NOTHING. His meds were not adjusted at …
Was ulumni here like 2010 n again 2011 n 12 i believe. Was a frequent flier. 7 yrs clean after jail n homelessness. Great place. Skorupksi was my doc. Hes the drummer for a band i love so it was cool. Wanna see since its been renovated. Is Larry still there older bald gelteman? Wonderful guy…
I almost didn’t come here bc of these whack reviews. This place is the best place I’ve ever been to, including when I had private insurance. They saved my life. Food good, staff good, meds were good in detox literally everything on point
I think SOME of the staff could have been nicer. But if you ever go there as for Mrs.Pam in the adolecent unit. She is the best. Very clean. Therepy’s are great. I made tons of friends there. I reccommend this place for anyone who needs inpatient rehab.
this place is gross. They put me on meds that got me angry for no reason. The rooms were gross I learned bad habits there I would always cry it was so cold and one my first day I was crying to go back home
This is not the first IOP program I have been to in NJ and it is by far the best. The staff are incredible and really care about the patients. Made a 100 percent difference in my recovery and I will always be grateful for that. I hear some …
I have to say everyone was wonderful i made new friends i had some cyberbullying online but this summit oakes helpd alot! Thank you dr s for everything god bless you all xoxo 💋 I highly recommend if anyone needs mental health its this one i …
I had to get a staff FIRED. The charge nurse for adolecent inpatient was such a horrible person who didn’t give a rat’s ads about people’s triggers. I complained multiple times and finally she was released from the job. Boys and girls …
This hospital should be shut down. They mentally abuse their patients and ensure there progress remains stagnant. If the patient has insurance they make sure to keep them in the hospital for as long as possible so they can suck up every …
My daughter had to stay at Summit Oaks for about a week and when my wife and I went to see her on her second day, she was crying and begging us to take her home because she was feeling homesick and that the staff were being rude to her and …
I have been a patient at Summit Oaks six times since 2012. The first 5 times was in the adolescent unit, and I must admit, each and every time I felt like I was in a living hell. In September, I was admitted to the adult dual diagnosis unit …
If I could give -50 stars I would. Summit Oaks treats patients like they are animals and deserve to be caged up. I was supposed to see a male psychiatrist there, but they forced me to see Dr Hassan, a female doctor who spoke …
DO NOT allow your child to be sent to this facility!!
We requested a facility with better services and were willing to travel for those services rather than send our grandson to a local facility that we had heard …
I was here 3 times and only because there was not a bed elsewhere. I got worse each time and ended back up in another hospital. The staff are terrible and uncaring. The doctors threatned me constantly. Place is filthy and poorly managed. I …
DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU VALUE YOUR SANITY. If i could rate 0 stars I would. This dirty, money focused “hospital” is horrendously understaffed and feels that cramming psych and detox patients together is a healthy idea. There is roughly 3-5 …
I was 15 years of age when admitted to this place they forced me to watch the same movie everyday the nurses were abusive. I had to pretend I was better to leave this institution since then I have not felt comfortable seeking mental help. They do everything with force. Someone needs to petition to shut this establishment down.
Staff is strictly unprofessional and highly inappropriate. You leave your loved ones in this detox center for care but all they do is drug them up… staff is rude on the phone and the nurses simply don’t care and think they can shout in …
Horrible. Had a seizure there. Received no treatment. Received no treatment in general. Horrible food. Asked for a plastic knife and they claimed they had no more. It was more as of they were too lazy to walk to another floor. Almost the …
I just completed the nighttime CDIOP program at Summit Oaks. I had a wonderful and meaningful experience thanks in large part to Zac, Kevin, Hannah, Hannah, and Nicole, the patient, understanding, and intelligent counselors who ran the …
Food was good but groups were boring, only thing I enjoyed were the other patients, I stayed entirely too long when I was absolutely okay, I spent my fathers birthday and July. 4th in there, only plus side they allowed me to watch CNN
I came to this facility expecting to be treated for bipolar episodes and then released after 7 DAYS, at least that’s what I was told by the incredibly rude staff. On the seventh day, I felt a lot better with my medication changes, and I was …
I discharged from this hospital a few days ago after being treated for Bipolar Depression. I literally, and I mean L-I-T-E-R-A-L-L-Y do not have the time or energy or the memory sharpness (thanks lithium) to recall every horrid thing that …
My 19 yr old daughter overdosed on Thursday February 16 . She was AT summit oaks morning program. She was able to purchase drugs from another patient. She went home and few hrs later by the grace of God a friend and the paramedics brought …
Horrible and rude nurses in the detox unit! They don’t know how to talk to families that are hurting with a loved one in the inside and they don’t know how to properly detox anyone! Go there if you just wanna get another addiction other …
My stay at Summit Oaks was very intense. They are a professional group of people of whom are not concerned with troublesome behaviors such as those not there strictly for rehabilitation. They do not babysit, they teach. There mission is to …
its a bittersweet feeling. they are taking my best friend away, but it’s for her own good. I live her to death and I want her to be happy and be healthy. It sucks to see her go but it is for the best. Take good care of her. Handle with care.
I hope people looking for help realize that, as a facility treating recovering addicts and patients with mental illness, there will be patients completely unwilling and even angry to have to go through treatment, hence the skewed reviews. …
Recently we were admitted to the inpatient Unit 1 for a week. All staffs, either we met in person, or we talked on the phone, were very friendly and helpful. Dr. Galvez is compassionate and is willing to spend time talking with the family. In addition, the facility is new and clean.
Provided wi to meds but didnt provide good 1 on 1 i waited 5 days to even soeak to somone and thats because i made it an issue and they dont have that many groups u just sitting around wait to eat and watching tv all day…
The day time staff was pleasant, group activities were helpful, and food was good, but night staff was rude and disrespectful. Night time hospital procedures has staff popping into your room every 15 minutes to check on patients. Sleep …
Went here 10 yrs ago. Been sober since Sept 21, 2009. Its not a country club. It’s to get well. Sober .. They did something right. I never wanted to go back. I enjoy my freedom. Food was ok. Cant comment on anything except detox. The personal stories were very helpful. I didnt feel judged or shamed.
My Aunt came here to GET HELP, which their website states that they help with detox & mental issues…… COMPLETE LIES. Not even 24 hours after being admitted , they told her she wasn’t “wanted” there & the social worker would find her …
This Place Is The Most Horrible Psychiatric Ward I Have Ever Seen! It still gives me nightmares! I was there for 15 days and they did not know how to properly detox me. It’s a prison in the shape of a building. There’s a nurses station …
Due to the fact that I had no other option, I gave it one star, however, this pathetic, fraudulent excuse for a hospital is actually a poor disservice to individuals and should be shut down immediately. Unless you want to end up with acute …
If you are serious about your recovery come here. If you are not serious and do not want to become clean, you will be MISERABLE here and you cannot leave whenever you want, you have to give a 48 hour notice and wait to be medically cleared. …
First I have to say that 95% of the nursing staff were awesome. The Doctor I had was useless. The social workers just as bad! They were all jammed into a tiny little office and I know that Hipaa violations were broken. I heard them talking …
I can’t comment on inpatient (which seems to have mixed reviews) BUT I can comment on OUTPATIENT. I attended the Intensive Outpatient Program for depression and anxiety for over 10 weeks and it helped tremendously. The staff were educated …
Under no circumstance should anyone even consider being admitted into this hospital. My son was a patient there and I would never recommend this place to anyone. I witnessed the staff scream at the patients (which were children and …
Prior to starting, I was nervous about completing an internship here due to the reviews I read online. However, my experience at Summit Oaks was exceptional. On the unit I was assigned, the staff was helpful, informative, and down to earth. …
Nothing but a placeholder for the mentally ill. No therapy. Only medicaiton managment until you are set free; mentally healthy or not. As with all psych ward and rehab styles, seroquel, trazadone and remeron are prescribed as “off label” …
I was here years ago. I was maybe 13 or 14 at the time. The place was dirty, there were rats crawling all over the place. The staff there have no idea what they are doing as well as the counselors. …
Worst experience ever. Would not recommend this place to anyone. Did not receive medicine despite being told that I would be ordered something for my severe alcohol withdrawal. Ended up being transfered out as a result to a local hospital. …
Hello my name is jose mendes i was overall satisfied with my detox at summit oaks at unit 5 dual diagnosis i would like to thank my doctor Mr. Young for paying attention for my needs and perscribing me the right medicine i would alao like …
I entered Summit Oaks Rehabilitation Center back in 2010 and was clean for 3 year’s but then lost both of my parent’s and three it away. I am choosing to go back to Summit Oaks specifically because everyone there is helpful, compassionate …
Had a patient hospitalized here recently. They neglected to understand his trauma history. I, his physician, was told by the inpatient psychiatrist and social worker that I could visit at any time. I drove from NY to visit at 9am, and was …
RUDEST staff ever. Most DISGUSTING place ever. If I could give this 0 stars I would. The social worker i was given here, didn’t do her job and never once called my therapist. The effect of her action, caused me to stay at this terrible …
intimadating staff for some reason. The pills I was given made me feel sick. But nothing was over the top. They were more about who was gonna hook up afterward than who needed the help.Not for the faint of heart there’s gotta be better …
This is my opinion… I believe that the staff do the best that they can. Everybody needs to realize that the staff has to deal with a lot of BS from the same annoying people complaining. I’m lucky that I was accepted with my insurance 3 …
Its been 5 years since Ive been to this place but the horrifying experience here has still never left me. I was in the adolescence unit and the majority of the nurses there were all extremely rude, mean and even condescending and abusive. …
I don’t know where to start. When my family member was being sent here I called with questions. The woman who answered was not nice at all and after being in the ER for 20 hours tired and worried she brought me to tears. We were not …
I was a patient there in 2009. This was the most horrific thing I have ever experienced. I was sent here from a Job Corps not too far for depression and a drug addiction. The staff was ok but too happy to use those tranquilizer needles. I …
I was in the adolescent unit for 6 days 4 years ago. I was verbally abused by the staff and the therapist during my stay. I was also physically abused during my stay, which shocked me. Out of all the staff there was only ONE that I felt …
Worst psychiatric hospital ever! They strip you naked for a drug search. Talk about being uncomfortable when your admitted for mental health. The staff had no idea what they were doing. I was admitted into the wrong ward. They never …
the adolescent hospital was awful. It was a constant battle between patients and staff because they did not accept our needs or listen when we told them something. The staff was rude and not tolerant of the patients and simply did the bare …
The staff were horrible with the exception of a couple. The food is alright. There is no one on one counseling provided in the detox or rehab units. The only positive was I had a very nice doctor and she was awesome. Tight restrictions on …
Where to even begin with this review. Summit oaks was literal hell. It’s a psychological based hospital and the psychiatrist attempt to make people worse then when they came in. At one point I was on 10 different meds hallucinating. I went …
This place is not as horrible as it might seem from other reviews. Staff is respectful and treats patients well. The hospital is clean. Patient rooms are pretty basic but livable. During the day there’re activities patients can participate …
My name is Chana. I was in Summit Oaks Hospital in August of 2019. I stayed two weeks. A very jolly ambulance team accompanied me to Summit Oaks. They made me laugh and let me eat snacks. When I got to Summit Oaks I was wheeled in on a …
When I was seventeen in November, I was sent to the children and adolescent unit. The experience was horrific. The white cinderblock walls give me chills to think about. My first memory of entering the floor in my scrubs was of a nurse …
I am so happy after my loved one who is there told me the true state of the hospital. She said she loved her doctors and social workers. She also said the food was great! I was so worried after reading all of the bad reviews. I just spoke …
This hospital is certainly not fit for psychiatric treatment for children or adolescents. There is zero therapy offered to adolescents that have any type of problem. The program is simply keeping the kids in a small uncomfortable common …
Beware of this place. Even though its non-profit the organization it is all about money. They don’t offer any payment plans, threaten you with collections if you don’t pay up front. Some of the staff needs a attitude check or something. My …
So grateful to the stuff of Summit Oaks Hospital for taking care of my dear relative! Nurses are amazing there! Health and happiness to all of you!
Worse IOP I’ve been too Dr Domingo kicked me out the first day cuz I rather have medical marijuana than take pain pills
That man made me feel like I was nothing for him there no compassion caring or …
Recently got discharged from this hospital I was there 6/19/19-7/1/19 as a voluntary patient because I was suicidal- NEXT TIME I WILL JUST KILL MYSELF rather than ever got back there. It’s so understaffed it’s ridiculous with a ratio of …
Intimidating staff. The pills made me feel sick. They were ready to put you to sleep over small things like being rude or refusing to move your seat. This place isn’t for the faint of heart. I was forced to get completely naked for no …
This place needs ALOT MORE staff my experience was horrible! A girl got beat on the abuser got no action taken on her!!!! Night shift is especially horrible!!! Watch your back in this place. Because some staff definitely won’t!!!! They have NO CONTROL over anything here!!!
i was in the adolescent ward for only 3 1/2 days over a year ago and i am still severely traumatized. i lost a significant amount of weight because the food was horrible and unfulfilling, i got no sleep due to the 15min night checks, and …
extremely traumatizing experience. absolutely awful mental ward. I was there for 22 days in 2014, and i still cant even think about the place without shaking. there were some staff that were caring and kind, but the rest of the staff and …
If only I can give a negative amount of stars. I had a family member, who is only a teen, stay there. They lost weight from most of the crappy food given. Not to mention that the staff treated them with no kindness and respect. When my …
Absolutely terrible. I stayed in the children’s ward on 6/30/17 and got out on 7/7/17. It seems very nice from the outside, but it’s a disgusting place on the inside. The staff were terrible. They were very rude to other patients and I. I …
I have mixed emotions about the adolescent unit here. I was here for like 6/7 days and upon my arrival all the kids and staff seemed very nice. And nothing changed about the other kids there. But there are some staff that definitely are …
I don’t need the “owner” to send me a message talking about how concerned they are and that I can reach out to them. You aren’t concerned. People having been complaining for years and it seems you haven’t done much. …
I realize the place is maybe not up to date and it needs a renovation but saved my daughter’s life who was 12 at the time. Amazing staff and there was an indian doctor there who was just amazing i wish i remembered her name but she was …
parents, no matter what anyone tells you: do NOT allow your child to be sent here!! at age 14 i was sent to the child/adolescent psych unit at summit oaks and i have never encountered a worse facility in my life. from the first moment i …
My mother was admitted to this rehab about a week ago because it was the only place in the area that accepted her insurance and we were looking to get her into somewhere as soon as possible. So far I’ve been in contact with three different …
My son was there far too long (over a month). He was over-medicated (9 pills a day)by the physician on staff. A young man who was never on any medication for mental health issues, was put on an enormous amount of medications. He was begging …
I was here almost 6 years ago but after looking at the most recent reviews I see that this place hasn’t changed one bit. I was 18 at the time and in a really bad spot mentally. There was absolutely nothing beneficial about this place. There …
Was there for a third time recently. It was worse than I remembered. I wasn’t there detoxing or anything- I was sent involuntarily because I was depressed. Dr. S called my outside psychiatrist “the guy with the speech impediment” and told …
Update: sent a message per the response below….4 weeks ago, still have had no response. They really do not care. They do not keep the family in the loop and they discharge with very limited instruction. My minor child was there and we had very little input, very little contact and very little information.
I am a type 1 diabetic. Before I was put on psychiatric medication with high blood sugars my mood swings from happy to depressed to self harm thoughts pretty quickly. The staff here refused to treat me correctly they put me on a sliding …
This place is not designed for someone suffering from addiction. Waited in the lobby for 6 hours to check my boyfriend in, if he wasnt sleeping he would have left. Anyone who knows the mind of an addict knows this. No counselor to speak to, another vital importance. Meds late, no staff. Once they get your money it seems they don’t care.
Honestly, it wasn’t too horrible. But, some of the nurses were very rude. Especially this one girl, I was just leaving and she caught me hugging my bestfriend and she screamed at me. First of all, their are kids there with PTSD and are …
Just about every step of the way dealing with Summit Oaks was painful. When you place your child in the hands of health care professionals you expect professionalism, structure. From the very beginning my experience with this hospital was …
I had been forced to be here for 27 days a few years back. The adolescent unit was terrible. The staff were generally rude and obnoxious, and many didnt care for our mental health. While i understand working with mentally ill children can …
nah man this place was not it. i was in the under 18 program for 3 weeks. the food was disgusting, the staff was extremely rude, the psychiatrist needs her license taken away (she thought i was making everything up and told my parents …
I have never been to a more poorly run place in my life…and they have mice, toilet bugs, washer and dryer doesn’t work, phones don’t work, and there’s ALWAYS a toilet clogged!! They told me to bring ALL my meds here, and I didn’t get even …
The first few days were an adjustment and getting to know the other kids there. But after I got comfortable it started to feel more like a sleep over at times. There’s a chill tech there named Cedric who will play cards and chess with you …
Whatever you do, stay clear away from this place. They release patients with ZERO aftercare plans and without a supply of medications that their staff put them on. In short, they set up people to relapse and make into lifelong patients …
People give this place a bad rap but you have to want and try to get the help. It’s not always fun but you can get the help you need here. Between the staff and the patients everyone is looking out for each other. The inpatient program must be followed up by outpatient to ensure bettering yourself. 🙂
This place brings back some very enlightening memories. I remember the time where I only had one friend at the Psych Ward, and I read the book Charlottes Web. There should always be books here because it really saved me from so much trauma …
No communication with staff, no assistance with aftercare, the doctors didn’t listen to medication issues ( the medicine my child was prescribed was not accessible to get in our area due to lack of in person psychiatric care), none of …
I was hospitalized here in February and was there for 8 days. I do understand why there are so so many negative reviews because there is so much they could change. I read a review that said that there was a strong smell of cigarette smoke …
If you are looking for a Hospital to get better DO NOT go to Summit Oaks. The website states that their is yoga, meditation, pet therapy, one on one therapies, etc. NONE of that happened while I was there for a week. Going forward their …
I was not getting any information about my daughter despite her been a minor and been admitted without my concent. Social worker identified herself as admin narrator and in my way out ran into Mr. Friedman the CEO so thanks to him I was …
It has taken me a year and a half to write this review. It still hurts that we had to send our 7 year old to any psychiatric hospital. On the outside the place looks welcoming, inside where the patients stay is so-so. All in all, I don’t …
this place brings me back bad memories. I was only eight at the time and I was diagnosed with ptsd a few months before and came out with severe ptsd. the staff werent welcoming and neither was the living space. I was there for 3 months. …
I just recently got discharged from the children’s unit after staying for a week. It was a really great help, and I left the hospital feeling better than I can remember in a really, really long time. Staff were generally very helpful, and …
They aren’t available 24/7 like they say as well as it must be for rich people only, they don’t accept veterans. It’s a fake rehab no one answers your call.
This place is a waste of time. You literally sit around all day with no treatment. The staff are mostly rude and the accommodations are poor. We had no dryer for over a week and had to dry our clothes outside. The food is subpar and rooms are dirty. I would not recommend this place to my dog!
It was horrible I couldn’t use my phone nothing I don’t wanna come there again but sometimes the food was nice but I liked some of it and some of the people that were there I guess
They call this place healing compassion but the nurse in unit 5 Patricia was nasty and cold and flat. Completely nasty and unprofessional. They said they were discharging my daughter who is not ready and she was so nasty about it. The …
back in April I stayed at summit oaks, I was in the adolescent program and to be honest, it sucked but so does every mental hospital, am I right? this hospital however sucked a lot less. I would love love love to give a special thanks to …
The social worker, Ashley, was very good with my son. The psychiatrist, on the other hand, made a very quick diagnosis, that was incorrect. She did not like being questioned and quickly prescribed a medication that did not help my son with …
My thoughts on this place is 50/50 the staff for the most part are decent the food is what it is its ok even though other reviews say it’s horrible you do have the option of family bringing you food my main complaint is boredom they need more groups and activities for people to do other then that if needed yeah I would go back
Food is always cold, Half of the staff is really disrespectful to patients. Summit Oaks only gives you one blanket and it’s freezing at night and in the morning. I don’t recommend this place for your children’s
I went when COVID was a little bad but to me it was 50 50 I felt that it needed more stuff for us to do not sit around all day some nurses where ok some u can tell they was there for the money I have to leave early cause the COVID was …
No security. Lots code 85’s/ fighting. Otherwise, all of the nurses and doctors and social workers were 👍 only thing that bothered me was I was told I could go to rehab and was stuck in detox for over 3 weeks waiting for a bed. I arrived there sober . I was sober for 11 days 🤔 …
This place was no help to me at all. Majority of the staff were rude and would blatantly ignore us patients. At times it seemed to be very disorganized and we barely had any therapeutic groups. If you want to go to a place that is quick to …
A extreme waste of time.. the staff there could careless about there patients or doing their jobs.my son went there tested COVID negative 3 times before being admitted. Contracted COVID there and they proceed to sent him home while being …
The admission lady at night is very very rude . Be careful where you send your loved ones everybody isn’t here to help. I will make sure no body I know goes here first person .
I don’t usually take my time to write reviews but.. this was the worst experience ever. I was here just a few weeks ago in the 5-17 unit.. I thought it would’ve been okay but it’s just straight up terrible. The foods terrible, the nurses …
I usually don’t write reviews, but if I can spare someone the grief of admitting themselves or their loved ones to this facility this will be worth it. If I could give the intake facility less than one star I would. I was unfortunately a …
I hated this. The beds were actual gymnastics mats with sheets, the pillows were made of plastic bags with pillowcases on them, it was always cold in the morning, the food was absolutely terrible, you can only make 5 minute phone calls to …
My child was on the adolescent unit. Ashley, the social worker, was rude, condescending and combative not just toward myself but others in my child’s care team as well. The doctors are incompetent and dismissive as well. I tried leaving a …
Hi this is coming from moe and flora. The staff were honestly kind of rude, especially that one old lady with the beanie she was threatening to take away our Cheetos while peacefully watching spy kids. She wouldn’t open the door for me when …
shoutout to the doctor in the kids unit!! Because of you, my mental health is way worse than what it was when I first got there. They rush your stay there, even if you show the tiniest improvement, they’re ready to send you home. it’s …
DO NOT GO HERE if you have problems being in spaces you cannot leave. I was basically held hostage unable to leave despite asking 3 people to let me out, they’re uncommunicative, OF COURSE people are going to scream and freak out when you …
I was here for 12 days, and it was pretty traumatizing for my first time in this sort of place, nurses were rude, made fun of the patients here and, the food was just terrible, something serious happened during my last few days here and …
I went into the detox unit for methadone which they are not even equipped to handle, so I should have never been admitted. Anyway, the amount of racism against Caucasian people was Appalling, which was even worse is that it came from some …
The staff is good. Some better than others. Adrian is by far the best nurse there. She was compassionate and showed empathy. The nurse manager on Unit 1 has a bad attitude and treats her staff and patients badly. She wouldnt give me an …
My daughter went to Summit Oaks for detox and rehab. She was mocked and laughed at by the “caring and compassionate nursing staff” when she begged them to call a doctor to give her some comfort meds. She laid in her own vomit for 8 hours …
