Reviews of The Mental Health Center of Greater Manchester (Psychologist)

Sarah Adinolfi

Was referred by the Elliot Hospital and decided to try a new place knowing thry take my health insurance..worst decision I ever made! After being on benzos for a long time I was told not only by the elliot staff but also the counselors at the Mental Health Center I would be taken care of as being off the medication could cause painfull withdrawls and seizures wich you can die from. My first appointment with the ARNP was a nightmare. Not only was she rude and short, basically laughing me out of her office for asking for a continuation of my medicine Ive been on for 8 years. She never asked about my history or even offered to taper me off, she just rudly said "She is absolutely not and never will presribe this medication, so If thats what I want I should leave." I left her office in tears, I had never been treated so badly by anyone, let alone a health care worker. Luckily there was someone who wanted to help, Mark saw me in tears and offered assistance in the form of a new program for addictive medications. Now about 4 months later Im being forced to taper off my meds as im atthe tail end of my methadone taper, switching to suboxone. Im scared of presipitated withdrawal as ive express many times but constantly am being pressured to switch over, no wonder why I relapsed. I felt like I was in a race to convert over to not being on benzos and getting off methadone, it was not only hurting my feelings as I was not being heard, but jeapordizing my sobriety. The only reason I gave them 2 stars instead of one was due to their attemp to treat me after basically running me from their office in tears. Everybody is different, wich means treatment is different for everyone..for all the time I spent talking about it in therapy , you would think they would have collaborated a little more to know the signs and help out more then my insurance did..

Doctors are insensitive, uncaring and unprofessional you would be better off with any provider other than them. i would give 0 stars if i could avoid at all costs

Getting a hold of someone on the phone is difficult. Price of services were not discussed until the bill showed up even though I informed them cost wad a huge concern. Been almost a year and I am still paying off the bill for 2 visits and that was with insurance. Trying to call and make a payment is impossible as the one person who seems to be assigned to billing never picks up. Painfully understaffed and underserviced. Those 2 visits were not helpful, yet alone worth the outragous price of out patient sessions.

heavily falsified my records when it didn't suit their narrative

Steve Detweiler

They don't seem to have any focus on big-picture wellness, have minimal respect for PHI and focus more on reasons to deny treatment than to further treatment.

Great professional counselor and medicine Doctor. I’m so thankful for their help. Their very attentive to your needs. I for one received great counseling and medicines that I really needed. They do ask you if you want to try out a med, they don’t force you to take it. They also have a great counseling team if your in need after hours for them to come out to you. I hope this helps out those who are looking for help.

A wonderful place to work. The culture is caring and supportive. A great GREAT community resource.

Treatment based, as in 100% focused on the "medicines" being distributed. Requested help in the form of a trained therapists over 9 months ago, still waiting. If I had a choice would seek services elsewhere.

Liz Woodard

Absolute horrible service!!! My daughter was receiving care in their adolescence department. Her therapist was amazing and her med Dr. However, we were told she no longer needed therapy services and only needed med services. We were seeing the med Dr. And now all of a sudden we can no longer go there because the only way to see a a med Dr is to be a current patient and have a therapist. How is this ok? How can you change your policies and NEVER tell their clients. Oh and the fun part is, we would have to wait months to get back in and see a therapist. And now my daughter will not be receiving the meds she needs daily.

Best staff helping me through my problems

I was employed here for the past year as a health mentor. To give a balanced review I should state that there are many caring, dedicated professionals working here. There were problems, however. First on this list would be poor communication. For only one, glaring omission, my name above has been mis-spelled. Next, many of the case managers fail to respond when informed of problems with which our clients are dealing. Next, we need medical clearance from our clients' primary care providers before undertaking fitness assessments and exercise. Most of them fail to respond, our phone calls were never returned, or our clients were told that they will not FAX or mail the forms back to us. Also, many departments appear to be working at cross purposes to the agency's mission. and management fails to be aware of or intervene in petty rivalries among the staff. There was also a high turnover rate among the staff during my tenure here. It's been a year, and now I too am gone, which in hindsight is not a bad thing. Adding insult to injury, at the time of my termination I informed management that my clients' upcoming appointments should be canceled of transferred to another health mentor. This was never done. Eventually my clients were told that I had quit abruptly instead of having been terminated as i was. One would almost think management here has something to hide.

Without their help, I don't know what would have happened to me.

You get a lot of attitude when you just ask simple questions. Some counselors are worth the $80 to see, while others are a waste of time. To get prescriptions you have to go every other week before being able to see a "provider". Which, if you have a job and don't qualify for Medicare, comes to a bill of over $300 per month. I switched to another office and pay $30 per 3 month visit. Don't think your options are limited.

I dont know what too say about this place so i just give you the half for what yall is off the meds even thoe yall help or not helped so yeah.

Michael Spyridon

Horrible place. Their greeting? "Hi how's it goin? Oh nice nice, WELL WE DONT PRESCRIBE BENZOS AND ESPECIALLY NOT OPIOIDS SO DONT DARE EVEN ASK..... but its a nice day out righ? Here fill out this form..." The Cypress Center which is under Manch MHC has a coordinator named Mark Bodwell, he should be fired because he's clueless and doesn't listen. And Dawn Span-Veitz should be working in Vets office... Not as a Veterinarian... Maybe as a pet groomer or veterinary assistant.

David Park

Unprofessional staff that wouldn't allow me to have my appointment bc I was 6 minutes late. It was rainy and traffic and I drove for 2 hours to get there after leaving work early. They hadn't even removed the ice on the side walk at the bottem of their stairs. I thought I saw terrible services in mass but this place takes the cake by far!!!!
