***My Psychiatrist was not very helpful***
The towels smelled like wet dog
Absolutely no access to the internet is allowed
Extremely boring, not much activities outside of therapy
Therapy was good though
Food was pretty good
A majority of staff were cool when I went there

I have never had an issue with Mclean until dealing with a case manager named Emma (unsure of spelling). She would rude and abrasive and treated my family member like a file. She went out of town and assured me her counterpart would call me and that never happened. She also had no interest in lookin...
Can t describe how grateful I am for this place.

My father was in here multiple times for anxiety and depression. They tricked him into making him think his last resort was a certain type of magnetic therapy for the brain. He is not the same person and his brain formula has completely changed. My dad is no longer the man he was anymore due to care...

This place is so backwards. The Patients are not allowed outside unless they "earn this privilege". In many ways it's worse than prison...I must admit that the food is pretty good, even though they serve it on styrofoam, which it not biodegrade. Dr. Ongur is a power tripping individual, who cares on...

McLean Hospital is without a doubt, the most highly structured mental health hospital in the United States. The level of care offered here is unprecedented. The hospitals grounds are that of a university campus. With lots of buildings spread throughout a beautiful, peaceful plot of land that is rela...

While on holidays my wife was treated with the utmost haste and professionalism when she presented with a severe allergy condition. Although it was Boxing Day the admin staff, nurses and doctor were friendly and helpful. Although obviously busy, they soon had Melanie feeling better. Thank you for y...

This is for the outpatient program ONLY. The inpatient programs have been pretty good and I ve done a couple excellent groups. However, my treatment at the DBT training clinic was unethical, dangerous, and nearly led to my death. No one at the hospital has provided an explanation, from the clinicia...

They ask for voicemail for intake.
I had to wait for like 3.5 hours just waiting for intake in person.
They re busy, they say.
I feel they get so much money from inpatients they don t make it a priority to get outpatients.
It s really hard to get in.
Now that I m an outpatient I just ...

One member of the pharmacy staff continually harassed me while I was sleeping over arbitrary rules.
They also force all new patients to stay inside without being able to breathe any fresh air or take a brief walk outside. That s inhumane.
I came here voluntary but from what I see, a staff lead...

My daughter has received the best care here. And she has been to several others so she has a good frame of reference. What impressed me the most is how they treat everyone, every single person, with the utmost in respect and dignity. Highly recommended!

Welllll, where do I begin????? 1. I was scapegoated by the BP women's group and the facilitator allowed it to happen approx. 4 times in front of the other women with the wrong placement twice in another Cognitive group with another PhD who wasn't sure why I was placed there either by Dr. Nancy Hux...

While I was a patient in "North Belknap 2" I was physically attacked by another patient. During the assault my phone was broken. The hospital will not fix my phone or provide the other patients contact details so I may press charges. While being discharged I got into an argument with a nurse "Nick" ...

Horrible "consultantation" with Dr. Cao. Forty five minutes late, distracted, unable to answer questions, and told me I needed to come back to have questions answered. Patients who have just received treatment put in reception area to sit and drink water. Never going to go back to McLean!

If you want to be brainwashed, this is the right place to go.
Horrible clinicians take advantage of you when you are in a vulnerable state of mind.
They only care about money.
Don't go here because they just increase your amount of insanity.

They don't care about you. Patients are just tools to get a better resume or get paid a lot. I don't understand how they have #1 in the field,

I ve been to a few hospitals in Massachusetts over the past 20 years. This hospital is hands down one of the best. If you re ready to get sober and take control of you re life this is the place to be.

Unfortunately I am very disappointed . McLean Hospital Is not what it's cracked up to be. It is not what it once was. Putting there patients in danger in the after care department. Allowing an addict with mental health bipolar disorder to leave with no after care plan in place. Also not even giving...

Awsome care some of the nurses though like the pain meds alittle more than they should? They should be more careful slipping the patients meds under the med tray.hopefully it doesn't go on anymore.
Excellent geriatric doctor

I was a patient at McLean hospital 1 year ago, while I was going through a rough time with my mental health. I was so hopeful to get some relief and help, but any hopes I had were completely ruined. My mental health caused me to act up a little bit, and after I was told by the staff I was being dis...

Went to behavioral health partial in fall of 2014. It was a great program, staff took time to listen, groups kept me very busy, but you were allowed out of groups or to leave group if you had a meeting with either your clinician, the psychiatrist, or your contact person....there were several people...

McLeans is in the business of deliberately crippling people. What they do is about as sick and evil as it gets. They held me prisoner and tortured me for four days all based on the word of my recently jilted ex-girlfriend.
I was with my girlfriend for almost nineteen years, and we owned a house...

This program (Gunderson Residence) only made me more depressed and hopeless. The clinical staff made three dangerous mistakes on med dosing and then at times couldn't give me my meds because they hadn't refilled them yet. I feel much worse than when I came in.

Wow! The program at the Hill Center for women completely changed my life. Truly amazing, I never thought there existed, such a program that is capable of accomplishing such incredible results.

Megan(social worker) and Casey(RN)as well as all staff from McLean Hospital are the best at what they do. They are compassionate and caring individuals that made my stay at McLean hospital the best experience despite my mental health status at the time. I would highly recommend this hospital to fami...

I highly recommend McLean for mental health or addiction services. It is very clean, quiet, and private. The clinical care is exceptional and the food is acceptable.

People this is a psychiatric hospital. I had to request and beg for my son to return. He was there four years ago and still we do not have a med that works and he is willing to take consistently. Mental illness is still a trial and error area with not enough funding. They do have the best doctors bu...

This facility knew about my mother's case in great detail. The coordinator, Leslie Keebler, read over several emails, not to mention the admission request letter and the letter from my mother's primary therapist. The hospital, upon arriving, told her they never saw a case as severe as hers, that she...

Honestly, I do not and would not trust this hospital.
1. Because they gave me more than one incorrect clinical diagnosis.
2. Because they condone abuse. To explain: I was on proctor 2 twice and because I wasn t ready to open up about my past they decided the abuses did not happen. Ironic, because ...

patients are very frequently thrown in restraints and put in seclusion when the situation could have been descalated by staff talking to them first. They don't-they just restrain and ask questions later.
