Best Owatonna, MN Drug Rehab Centers

Fast, and friendly staff, they answered all my questions patiently.

Awesome people work here, professional and knowledgeable! When I arrived they got me in immediately and helped me. I appreciate their help! Highly recommend this place to everyone in case of health emergency!

In 2022, I was placed on an involuntary 72 hour hold by another hospital. It was extremely unwarranted and I was threatened with physical violence and had my human rights violated. That hospital sent me to the inpatient facility at Owatonna. Based on the experience at Buffalo, I was extremely standoffish. I was hysterical. I told them I would not speak with them, I would not let them touch me, I wanted to call my family because buffalo would not let me contact my family and they actually trespassed my entire family from their hospital for literally no reason after my family convinced me to just stay and do what they asked. The nurse was taken aback and asked what happened and I explained and she basically said “oh my god, I’m so sorry. We won’t do that here. We’re going to help you.” And something in her voice made me believe her. I think it took a day and a half maybe to talk to the psychiatrist, but he’s the reason I’m writing this review. He released me before the 72 hour hold was up and said he didn’t believe I needed to be there. He joked with me. I even made jokes that other psychs might’ve held me longer for making and when I ended with a “whoops, shouldn’t have let that one slip” he laughed with me and said no, it shows me you have a healthy coping mechanism. He really just talked to me like a human being and that’s not something I’ve dealt with in my 15 years of experience being treated for mental health conditions. He also went out of his way to call my primary care doctor and tell her he thought she was doing a great job with the medication aspect of my treatment, and when I saw her again she was really surprised he did that and said it was really nice. I don’t remember his name, but I wanted to write this review just to give him a little recognition because he deserves it. I’ve met with probably 10-12 psychiatrists in my life and he was by far the kindest, smartest, most human psychiatrist I’ve met.

Absolutely The Number 1 place I recommend for health emergencies or Issues. I live near Rochester and drive an Hour to Owatonna because of how caring the Staff is and the Doctors really know what they are doing and make sure you leave knowing your next steps and feeling better. Dr. Knutson is by far the best I've had in my life. I've had tooth infection before but he stopped the spread and pain quickly and set me up with an oral surgeon. Thank you

People here are very attentive and caring. I love the way they always get interested in each life, it doesn't matter where are you from, they will treat you like a real person.
