Loma Linda University Health - Loma Linda University Behavioral Medicine Center (BMC)

Two days ago I went down to the Loma Linda University Behavioral Medicine Center to visit my friend whos a patient there. I came to find out that they had knocked off their 6pm - 7pm visiting slot and only have the 12pm - 1pm slot available now. Maybe I wouldnt have wasted the time and gas driving all the way down there from Big Bear if they werent too lazy to update the visiting hours on their website. Get it together LLBMC.

Horrible Malpractice from Dr. Cameron Johnson MD. I have never had a doctor so obviously not understand their own profession. Im 47 and 95lbs and he tried to force high doses of 4 new medications on me after I said my current meds worked great. Talks to women like they are animals and wont let patients or staff speak. He said I would never stop drinking because I was uncompliant. Meanwhile Im sober and happy turns out he was the only problem. Someone needs to take this guys medical license away.

I was a visitor at Loma Linda Behavioral Center. The reason for my one star review is the nursing staff at the desk in Unit One are cold and rude. There were four nurses standing around chatting clearly they werent overwhelmed. I asked a simple question about if the patient I was visiting would be allowed the books I brought in and the response was cold and rude. I am leaving this review in hope that Loma Linda will better train their nurses to treat humans like human beings.

Wanted outpatient counseling help for severe abuse and PTSD but ended up jerked around severely for over a year and a half just waiting to finally be a patient. There is no excuse for this. Im not going to tell you everything I went through like over a thousand phone calls when they gave me bogus excuses and led me on because there isnt enough space for the review. I also changed doctors 10xs and my medical group which was not easy.They would have me put my life on hold and say at times I was finally going to be accepted but then come up with yet another excuse. The staff here seem to have serious issues and most if not all I was dealing with should be fired. The director didnt care about this either.They didnt know if they offered rides then if they took my insurance. Later I was told only former inpatients were accepted. Confusing wrong info. All the patients and staff looked mean or depressed every time they dragged me there for a new pointless intake.I was even referred me to Murrieta once only to waste effort being referred right back. The building is getting old and rundown too. Im so furious at this point. I now have severe trauma thanks to them.I hate this facility and was definitely mistreated. Just yesterday my caregiver was kicked out by 3 security guards by the always rude front desk lady for NO reason at all. Other staff told me blatant lies at times while waiting three years to get help here. Staff has shouted at me in billing and also told me incorrectly that MEND was for addicts which I am not.Then years ago in the ED program they gave me a med that made me want to kill myself out of nowhere. I was not even depressed so didnt need to be on it but they force you.No one listened or cared that it made me have random sudden suicidal thoughts. Then they kicked me out of that program after I almost died from it. In the hospital I needed much better carebut got huge bed sores and was placed psych inpatient as a last result when I only needed physical care to recover instead. There was a huge surprise bill after that. My body took over a year to heal.Oh the MEND program leader is verballymentally abusive and thats just a joke of a program. I now HATE Redlands Loma Linda. I cant tell you the level of harm it has caused me.Lastly I tried to transfer to Murrieta and in 2 days Im again already having nothing but problems immediately that make no sense because they are changing their story on me several times not giving me an explanation pressuring me to get an authorization in less than 3.5 hours lied to me only to cancel my intake appt that I had made special preparations for. I was referred back to Redlands. They changed their mind about a reschedule had me do tons of online paperwork for no reason and changed their mind about a Zoom intake. It just doesnt end with the lies and games.Thank you for helping destroy my life by adding tons of panic attacks an extreme amount of wasted time and effort anxiety confusion emotional abuse sleepless nights nightmares and a ton of trauma. This entire time Ive been far too kind direct honest patient and always communicated with respect. However they do not deserve one second of your time or life.

I wouldnt take my gold fish here if he was suicidal. The medical staff can give two shits about your loved one who truly needs care otherwise they wouldnt...

My mom was admitted. I begged them to conserve her and instead they released her the same day despite her LONG history of severe mental illness. I hope the psychiatrist gets the day she deserves and can look herself in the mirror. My mom is so unwell and no doctors will step up to truly help her. Doctors are supposed to be in this career to HELP people. Clearly some just want the paycheck and couldnt care less about the actual people.

Tried to call to talk to a patient BEFORE hours ended. Person picked up and said both phones are being used and hung up on us. Second time we called a couple minutes later they said we could talk to the patient and hung up on us. Tried to call again and the call didnt go through as if they blocked our number called on a different phone and sure enough they picked up so it wasnt that the line was down..

I attended the SHIELD IOP some years back and it helped me so much. The healthcare team was great and it was overall a good experience. I would recommend...

Had been exposed to a tremendous about of trauma during my whole life. Started to be unable to work talk with anyone or most importantly provide the support and mindset for my family.Was at a very scary point in my life and knew I needed professional help. I really think that I had a nervous breakdown however the staff never mentioned these words. I felt extremely safe there and experienced staff assisted me so much. At first I was very scared about being in an inpatient program. Many of the patients were severe and were struggling with a variety of serious illnesses. Intake was a lengthy procedure however I was able to share everything in my life which had brought me there. I felt that this facility was my last chance in solving my issues. I had never gone through the practices which were taken before I entered the facility. Had never been arrested or in jail but was told that these requirements were very similar. I felt that if they were going to help me it wasnt a problem.The drs. nurses and counselors were extremely supportive. I attended every meeting because I wanted to get well. The referrals they gave me at the end of my stay continued the work to keep me moving forward and staying healthy. Loma Linda helped me regain myself and keep moving me in a healthy direction.

Five stars is not enough rating to how incredible this Clinic is including all of the staff Having faced my limit and tolerance to my alcoholism I decided to admit myself after almost losing my job and I was spiraling out of control. I went in feeling hesitant feeling as though I would be shunned and looked down upon with the severity of my alcoholism. I came to a quick realization that they are there to help people in my situation along with others in all addictions and alcoholism. The detox was one of the craziest experiences I went through in my life. The staff was extremely attentive to my care and my health I cannot say enough about my gratitude to this facility and the program they run. I immediately started the outpatient program of which counselor Vernon had a big part in my recovery I cannot thank the facility and the staff enough as this truly was and is a life-changing experience and a new start to my life I highly recommend this program with upmost remarks and respect Thank you everybody that had a part in my recovery as I am excited to continue living a sober life now. My family is beside themselves with the new husband and father they now have.

This place saved my daughters life. Dr. Johnson and his staff as well as the 24 hour unit 300 staff and nurses are amazing and gave a family out of options for our daughter diagnosed with schizophrenia health options. Charm was absolutely an Angel that cares so much for her patients. After she was discharged she gave me a great outpatient facility for my daughter to continue her medication and receive life skills independence and tools for her future living with a mental illness. Thank you so much The Lauderdales.

They are a wonderful facility and everyone takes really good care of the patients. Every day I visit my loved one and the staff are all very friendly helpful and genuinely kind. All members of the staff make an effort to introduce themselves and explain their role in the treatment of your loved one. This place is truly a God send Everything about what they do is committed to stabilizing the patients and establishing a treatment plan for when the patients leave. When things have gotten so out of control with a loved one you tend to feel so hopeless but the Loma Linda BMC gives you back the hope you need to keep moving forward
