Parkside psychiatric hospital & clinic Reviews

Parkside treated myself and patients poorly.

For information about how much CEO s and other executives of non profits are personally profiting, use Pro Publica s Nonprofit Explorer search tool.

Concern appears to be more on the bottom line than the quality of patient care.
Parkside offers the bare minimum legally required charity for a non profit. People should demand more transparency and accountability from their community providers. This is all verifiable and first hand experience. This isn t bluster, assumption, or slander. The information is all out there.

Parkside has a doctor working with Adolescents who isn t a child psychiatrist. He is also the medical director.
One of their telehealth doctors working with the children who also is not a child psychiatrist was involved in an investigation relating to the death of someone at the Tulsa County Jail.
Parkside cannot retain physicians and had to desperately seek out of state telehealth doctors to stay in compliance with the regulatory bodies.

Never mind that Parkside has incredibly high turnover, comparatively low pay, sub par benefits, legally required bare minimum health insurance coverage. Or that their programs have no demonstrable efficacy or outcomes because there is a bare bones clinical team. Never mind that there is suspiciously no COO, when there used to be with the previous CEO. Parkside s outpatient clinic demands that patients come for medications and therapy and will not see medication only patients, even though a mental health facility should know better. The outpatient team will fire patients if they miss the first intake group, even if it isn t relevant to their treatment plan or if a mom misses the bus to bring her son to the group. Parkside fails to protect employees and failed to promptly alert employees when a former patient tried to abduct an employee in the parking lot.
When the pandemic started, Parkside failed to take it seriously. Nursing staff downplayed and denied community spread in company e-mails despite community spread having been established. Parkside failed to appropriately disclose positive cases to other staff and patients.
Parkside is a nonprofit but doesn t operate like one. The CEO pays herself almost $400,000 while the lowest paid employees make $11 an hour. The Board is virtually non existent and the CEO is accountable to no one. Parkside had a capital campaign for the new hospital but that hospital has been falling apart ever since including malfunctioning elevators, door locks, and faulty air conditioning.
Parkside won t apply for any grants outside of Tulsa because they refuse to disclose any financial information including that they are supported by the Tulsa Psychiatric Center with no physical location and co-mingles board members.
Parkside fails to properly disclose to the public that the Tulsa Psychiatric Center sits on $100,000,000 in assets, restricted and unrestricted.
The truth laid bare about how much more Parkside cares about profits above patient care is in the way Parkside acquired the funds in the Cornell-Oglesby endowment. Katharyn S. Cornell never directly left money to Parkside. She died in 1968 and Parkside Hospital was built in 1970-1971. Look up Haven and who owns the property at 1647 S Elwood Ave.

So they didn't keep my child they said that basically that facility is more for life-and-death situations and they wanted to hold their beds for people who were at a life-and-death situation I definitely should have checked the rating before I took her up there though because that guy in there was so annoying he was rude and he was NOT kid friendly and I would never in my life go there again I filled out the paperwork waited for 3 and a 1/2 hours to be seen for the assessment which lasted 10 minutes went back out into the waiting room for another hour and then was called back for him to tell me that our situation wasn't serious enough. As a Therapist myself I know how these assessments should be done and that was NOT IT. I drove 2 hours because this was the closest place to service my child. I feel like we were brushed off rather quickly and not fully assessed. We never saw or spoke to a doctor. So how can a Case manager tell me if my child is at a life or death situation or not? If I could give this place a 0/5 * I would. Purely because of the rudeness and disrespect of the gentleman we spoke to.

Hi my name is Wesley I was in the kids division in 2020 all of the staff is really helpful and kind I ve been to lakeside twice but both times were pretty good at first it s scary but like 3 days later it actually seems kinda fun. Park side I hope you get this because I kinda want to come back.

Parkside hospital is opening it's doors to it's new hospital soon. They pride themselves on the best care and superior customer service. The staff care about every person who walks thru the door. Depending on the condition, there may not be a cure, but the staff prepares the patient for life outside of the hospital and how to maintain proper care in order to function. I have seen first hand how everyone is treated with decency and like a member of the family.

As a former patient when I was a child. I grew up in foster care and got sent here for running away nothing crazy. They treated everyone like we were prisoners and they were so hateful and disrespectful to the special needs people that couldn t help themselves. I was in and out of places like this and this was over all the worse one. joining the military was easier than living a week in this hell hole. How can you run a business like this and make patients worse when they leave!

I called Parkside to go inpatient at 12:15PM and said I could be there with my stuff packed by 1:00PM. They told me that wouldn't be necessary or useful as they were backed up processing patients; so they told me my "appointment" will be at 4:00PM. So I waited until 4:00 because I didn't want to sit around in some uncomfortable waiting room with little more than my cellphone.
I got here (Parkside's waiting room) at 3:55PM because 'to be on time is to be late and to early is to be on time' as the saying goes). It's presently 7:00PM (the same day so far). I had so much time I literally watched Thor: Ragnarok; what I'm wondering now is whether I have time to start Black Widow. So, if you come here for an "appointment", be sure to bring entertainment for yourself, a charging cord for your phone, snacks, and the best mood stabilizers you can legally obtain (due to a higher level of bu -Maybe even a copy of War And Peace and a change of clothing for when the seasons change while you're waiting. And remember: the word "appointment" has no meaning. Just show up without calling; it seems to be the m.o. around here.

I was in adolescence residential and loved the staff! They helped me so much and made sure i was doing alright. Mr. Taylor always put a smile on my face even when i wasn t doing okay and was a very silly goose. Mr. T and his positive affirmation were one of my favorite things there. Mr. Michael is a very chill guy, he believed in me and was proud of me when i got to leadership. I really liked Mr. John s groups, they taught me a lot about savings which i think is really helpful. Nurse Bill was also really helpful, he always made me smile and laugh. Ms. Carmen was easy to talk to because she understood where i was coming from, so i really enjoyed talking to her. Overall i truly believe i got the help i needed there!

This institution is capable of taking care of patients and providing best circumstances for them to get better. Doctors, nurses, and other staff members will communicate with families throughly. Understand if you are calling, hundred other patients' families are calling as well. So be patient and they will get with you and give you all available information. Their meal plans are balanced and well prepared. Facility is clean and sanitized.

I went to Parkside once, a few years back. I don't remember alot of it. But i also don't want to go into detail about why I went to Parkside on a Google review. Lol. They did a good job, friendly. Thank you for helping me.

I am a professional and I attended outpatient services here during the last leg of COVID. The group had people from all walks of life - from people fresh out of prison to lawyers and nurses - and the therapist instructor Bill challenged and helped each individual grow based on their unique situation. The director of the program, Cynthia, helped make sure I was getting the right treatment, wrote letters for me on occasion as needed, and I was redirected to a more trauma-specific private therapist but their medication management provider continues to provide welbutrin for my anxiety and ADHD. They took me off my adderall which I believe has been very helpful in treating a possibly adderall-related side effect of anxiety

Also, I read the other reviews, and I get it - the red tape for psych admissions is a very fine line and people will be mad if you admit them or mad if you don t - but let me be very clear - if you are somewhere other than a safe place like Parkside, and somebody calls COPES or police to get you or your loved one psychiatric help, COPES could put you behind bars for 6 months faxing bogus felonies if you get angry when they try to break in your home. So. You really can t be mad at Parkside - comparatively, in Tulsa, your other option is COPES AND jail.
