Amos Vered Review of Scranton counseling center
Stay away from this horrible organization. My son ...
Stay away from this horrible organization. My son is in a group home in Allentown. He is a 26 year old autistic adult who has outbursts at times where he mostly breaks things, like a tantrum. On July 23rd, he visited his Psychiatrist at Scranton Counseling. He had a meltdown in the lobby, so they placed him in a quiet room. As a result, that day the psychiatrist placed him on almostaximum doses of Depakote, Lithium, Kolonopin. As a result of not living in this area, Dr. Also stated he can't see him anymore. At this time, he is a Zombie. Lost all interest in watching TV, playing video games, interacting with us on iPhone or iPad. The group home has been trying to find a Psychiatrist, no one is able to see him. He has been to the ER, but because his meds are within "normal" range they refuse to intervene. Scranton Counseling broke all medical ethics by dosing him with high level of meds and at the same time not offering followup nor continuity of care in making sure he can be monitored. As far as I am concerned they criminally negligent and I will be pursuing all avenues to have them pay a steep price for their unethical behavior. Stay away from them.
