David Lawrence Center Horseshoe Drive

I HAVE BEEN CONSTANTLY CALLED FROM THIS FACILITY. I DONT EVEN LIVE IN FL AND I KEEP TELLING THEM THEY HAVE THE WRONG PERSON AND NUMBER. ALSO CALLING AT 3 AM IN THE MORNING. U GUYS NEED TO UPDATE PT INFOMATION AND STOP CALLING ME

The technicians in the under 18 section were amazing. I miss the woman who comforted me and said it was my fate to be there and have that conversation with her at night, before I slept. I had been in a spiritual and physical crisis and she offered much help. Alot of the medical students/technicians were awesome, very kind and amazing and if I could do a review just for them I would give 5 stars. When it comes to the actual professionals, it seems they would rather drug you or have you lie than to give you actual help or advice. I had been a young girl who made mistakes (this was two or three years ago that I was admitted there) that were used against me and I admitted they were stupid to hopefully leave the facility. The old maybe polish or russian doctor/psychologist agreed "Yes, that was very stupid." with little further comment. The student nurses came out to extend their pity and tell me it wasn't my fault. Genuinely horrifying. One of the technicians there was eating her food and I sat next to her at the table to eat. She says, no joke; "Hey can you please not eat that stale hospital food next to mine? It grosses me out." I thought she was joking but she was entirely serious. She seemed to be a bit sociopathic. All in all, amazing technicians, amazing student nurses. The female doctor/psychologist was the worst and I hope she retires soon so someone with actual human empathy can replace her. I would NOT RECOMMEND to stay here or bring your loved ones here. It took me two years of working through my trauma to even write this review. I hope these student nurses and verified KIND technicians can replace the cruel people here.

They where kind and nice to me, I appreciate the staff and everyone there for all the help.

Place was trash. I literally seized for over an hour before somebody finally said. We should take you to the hospital....

There were clothes soiled with feces under my mattress first day I was there. They force medications down youre throat or threaten to inject you with them. The doctors are all rats especially Baldizzi who only works there part time because he has a full time job somewhere else. He cares so little about the patients I overheard him talking about getting cat back exhaust on his car with a nurse rather than the patients. The employees like to flirt and hug each other too.

Its not THAT bad, it just seems so strict on outdoors. When I went there, we weren’t allowed NESRLY COMPLETELY outside. Its like a prison. And you may wanna change some food choices, they seem kinda ehhhh. They taste off. And I recommend letting people in their rooms when they want to. I remember feeling really anxious so I tried going into my room but then it was locked and one of the staffs yelled “no rooms”. And lastly, I think you should really keep an eye on not just the patients but also the staffs. One of the staffs were making fun of my friend I made there that had ADHD, he kept saying stuff like “who would ever wanna be her friend” and “you talk to much” and “your so damn annoying” (the staffs name was Tony) he’s almost never nice, when I even proceed to walk by him, I feel anxious. Extremely anxious. That’s all

Horrible they cancel your appointment without even knowing staff is very nice but the psychiatrist I saw made me so much worse and the therapist needed a therapist herself!!!!! What a bunch of clowns running that place trust me they couldn’t care less about you it’s all about $$$$$

Nurse pract. Randy Cobb is great . Puts the patient at ease listens and is full of ideas and resources. Thank you.
