I am a patient of Magdalene Bambo and she is absolutely amazing. I have no complaints at all. For the office staff.... would it kill them to smile? I dont think I have ever once seen any of them smile or look halfway happy. Also, whenever I leave a voicemail I never ever get a call back. On the other hand since I am so happy with my care from Magdalene it makes up for the bad parts of the office. I personally would recommend this practice since the doctors and NPs here give such great care.

I am an ex-resident from the residential part of The Anderson Center. It’s been about 6 months since I’ve been discharged and now I’m in California. I would say that my experience was overall good! The staff were supportive and I even ended up getting comfortable crying in front of adults, which was hard since they were strangers at the time. My stay was 6 months, but the therapy groups didn’t really replay themselves that much, since there were so many topics that kept popping up! I have a lot of staff that I appreciate and who helped me understand myself even when I couldn’t even understand myself. With the help of multiple staff, nurses, and my therapist, I now have a functional relationship with my mom. Kevin (Batman), Al (Albus), Amy (BEST yoga instructor), Justin (Stinky Dookie), Linda (the nurse I think about every time I’m at a Goodwill), and much more- but this is getting very long as a review of this place. I would say that they are LGBTQ+ positive with using pronouns and preferred names. I was even allowed my testosterone in there! Also, big shout out to Theresa for helping me with the testosterone too! But everyone was nice and they seemed to really care about the residents.

My name is John and I had called to speak with the mother of my child in regards to our child going to be in my care instead of her mother who is about to be moving out of the county. The nurse that I had spoken to was rude as well as incompetent. The nurse said that she would not go tell her that I would like to have her call me right away or even to take my number for her to please contact me about our child and I was still treated with disrespect and I would definitely recommend that no-one be seen as a patient there as they are treated horribly wrong and forced into staying until they do what the doctors tell them to do and how to act before you will be released. I do not recommend you be seen here.

I saw Dr Buckles here and while he is a nice practitioner, one time I waited about an hour because he was running behind. This is perfectly fine, as this happens with doctors sometimes. However, the next time I came in, I was caught by a train on my way there and was 4 minutes left. When I came in, at 11:49 for my 11:45 appointment, I was told I was already marked as a no show because I was 5 minutes late. I told them I was staying as last time I had waited a long time and I also didn’t remember the paper they originally gave me saying “5 minutes” was their cut off time. I remember it had said 15. They said they have to follow the doctors policy and I said I didn’t want to go (this is a bit of a drive for me) and they asked the doctor. I thought he could at least see me for 10 minutes. The reception staff made me wait. Then they tried to schedule me for later in the day. The doctor even came out himself and said he wouldn’t see me because he had a meeting at 12. In the time I waited and the time he took to see me and tell me that, we could have been meeting. I admit I was extremely upset at this point and am thankful I had someone with me. I have never been to a doctors office with a “5 minute” policy. I have also never met a doctor who prioritized meetings over their patients so much. If they were going to be running so close then I don’t understand why they scheduled me at 11:45 in the first place. I also want to add a couple other things: despite this being a St. Vincent facility, there is no patient portal upon which you can contact your doctor. You can only call the office, and then if you need to speak to your doctor, you’re forced to play phone tag until they can get back to you. I had called the doctor a couple weeks ago about an episode I had and he had left a recommendation on my voicemail about something, and I prefer for doctors not to leave Personal Health Information on my voicemail so I didn’t like that. I thought we could just discuss the issue at our next in person appointment but obviously that didn’t work out. Despite knowing that I desperately was in need of seeing a doctor the doctor did not see me. I cried in the middle of the office. The woman behind reception said she wanted to take me for an evaluation so she could...what? Hospitalize me? I know options for mental health are limited in Indiana but please don’t go here. Go look for doctors that care about more you and not about their meetings. To the people of Anderson Center, do a better job advocating for patients. I work in healthcare and the whole experience I had is unacceptable.

Dr. Diemer and Terry Green have been an amazing resource team to two of my kids. The office staff is great but very busy and dealing with constant chaos. They all deserve good stars

This place is amazing. The nurses are so caring and the staff as well. Dr. Skinner truly cares about his patients and listens to your concerns and needs. I’ve been with their staff for over a year and my life has been better. Not perfect but better. I would recommend this place to anyone struggling with a condition that is out of your control. Listen to their recommendations and follow their program it does work.

Reckless and deadly practices. Beth Cox is unprofessional and unethical. Stay away.

I actually just got out today, im 16 and was in the adolescence unit for 6 days, other than the beds being kinda small, it was a wonderful experience!!! the staff were very kind and funny, the food was okay and it was pretty clean and orderly, i have nothing to complain about!! i went in distraught and broken down and injured, and i left with medications for all my health issues i wasnt previously medicated for and my wounds healing nicely, the staff really is there to help you, and i reccomend if youre going for the adolescence unit to definitely go for it!!

I have recently had a stay in the Anderson Center. And am now in their Intensive Outpatient Therapy Program. This was the third time Ive had to go here. The first two experiences were horrible, to say the least. This one was ok. And I am thankful for this new Intensive Outpatient Therapy Program that they now offer. It is very beneficial. The only negative Id say about this last experience, is that I had a large fear for my safety while in there.

Called today because my wife was submitted after trying to pop pills by st. Vincent hospital. The staff that answered was rude. I explained that I’m not looking to see if my wife was there but what are visitation times and how to get it on track. She told me she cannot release any information and that it would have to be up to my wife. With the tone of voice the staff had, I have an eerie feeling that they will not give my wife the documents so I can visit her.

Dont send your children here, my best friend who was only there for 22 days some how passed away in there care, RIP ASHLEY MARIE ADAMS. Justice will he served baby girl

Horrible experience!!! Rude staff. Therapist Beth C was rude, she told our group to get off of our A** and do something. How she still is a counselor there is beyond me. I will never go back there again.

The first time I was there about 10 years ago. I was under the impression that if you check yourself in you may only have to stay a few days. After being held on a courthold for 2 weeks and custody temporarily takin from me. They wanted to send me to Richmond state hospital at the time. They also gave me thorazine and I felt like I was going to die in there. My grandmother had to call up there and threatened to sue the Anderson center if they didnt release me. They diagnosed me as bipolar, paranoid schizophrenia, and manic depressant you would think me being on ability 1000 mg. Of depakote er and buspar and hydroxyzine they would give me disability, but no IVE been denied more than once. It was life changing not for the good they feed you good, most of them are nice. When I couldnt sleep they gave me a shot in my behind I do believe it was thorazine I then felt like I was going to die I couldnt even walk. I know it scared some of the other patients as well as me. I was going through a very rough time but with all the meds they had put me on I was so tired lazy and hungry like a zombie. In the past 5 months Ive not been taking anything but my high blood pressure med. And Im pretty good. I will say its scary in there and my blood pressure was up the whole time I was so anxious. The first time I also would joke a lot but anyone who hadnt been eating properly and barely sleeping is going to be talking and acting out of the ordinary. I know I have issues and I understand the whole chemical imbalance but to over medicate someone to where they cant work..the second time was last summer had a huge break down it was scary I didnt want to go but I did need help so I went for one day I think they seen I was doing better than last time they changed my meds. I do think they were a little nervous because of how my first trip went. Im not sure if I am all of the things they wrote on paper, but I do know people will downgrade and judge you And talk very mean about anyone who is battling mental problems. I deal with things in my life daily.

Well i wasmt going to commemt on here but i thank it should be know me myself have never been in a place like this but my lil sister was there at 16 and was there only 22 days and passed away in there over something we will never know the truth aboutt.. But just in the days she was there she said it wss no help and they treated you like you was nothingg.. They are nothing but liers and worthless peoole that DONT CARE ABOUT OUR LOVED ONESS DONT SEND THEM HERE... AND I TRULEY DEEP DOWN THANK MY LIL SISTER ASHLEY MARIE ADAMS DESERVES JUSTICE OVER THIS...

Beth Cox is rude and I have no idea why she was there. She criticized me and my psychiatrist who put me on Xanax for anxiety and said it was a cop out. Not a good experience. You get what you get from Anderson.

As an adolescent, I was treated like a dog by staff members during my 2 week stay for cutting my own throat and obviously somehow surviving. Obviously I was going through a tough mental state at the time, and majority of the staff treated me like I was a lesser being for having mental issues.And, not much, if anything at all was taught to us to help rehabilitate us in any way. And we were never allowed outdoors. My little brother on FAMILY DAY was forced to stay outside on a bench while my dad visited me, he was heartbroken about it. A lot of things I could keep saying that might sound like nonsense bi#%*ing, but stay in there or any facility of that sort for more than a couple weeks and you would understand completely!!!I was 16 at the time and Im 25 now still suffering from the same mental illnesses but worse now. Never got the help I needed...

I didnt go here, but I tried to call them to ask some questions, and no one will speak to you or return your calls. Very unprofessional.

Great doctors

Spent 3 months and didnt help

A waste of my time...i have a doctor at Community Hospital that actually cares and has helped me...
