Hey, I’m Emma Miller. I just want to take the time to appreciate the time I had here. Despite what people are saying I had the best therapist and loved every staff there (except for Miss Gwen). Miss Hillary would be the best therapist for people with trauma. Please go here if you need someone or some help and you’re a child between 5-17!

It's an okay place though my mom had a bad experience (she requested a female therapist and was given a male one; overall didn't have a good experience and switched her place). I've had an okay one though. the waitlist is HELL though. took a year for autism and ADHD testing and the Dr didn't even do ADHD testing. and I need more testing but insurance + waitlist isn't great right now. But my therapist is nice though, so no complaints there

My son has tried inpatient rehab in the past and it didn't work. Madeline Centre has reached him in a way that others haven't. They met him "where he was" and gradually have shown him a way to sober living. Fear of failure can be a trigger and I think he knows that they will be there if he falls without any judgement. He likes the warm and family-like atmosphere that they offer.

Anderson Counseling is amazing, the staff are so helpful and go above and beyond for you. 3 months ago for the first time ever I decided to reach out to a counselor to help with some personal issues in my life. Dr.Anderson has been so great to work with and has helped me tremendously with working through issues and on myself. The best decision I made was to reach out and start coming in for counseling services. I will always continue to support his practice.

The staff at Anderson counciling have done more for me than I can ever express. from the office staff to councilors, and especially the mental health skill builder I work with. Everyone you come in contact with wants to make sure you come out of there feeling better than you did before and 9/10 you do. they really put emphasis on the client. they don't baby you but they treat you with kindness and most of all like your a person not just another number in the system. you are definitely family at Anderson and a place to grow and heal. 10/10 would recommend.

I don’t understand all the negative reviews but I cannot say enough good things about this facility. I was hesitant to have testing done here due to the negative reviews on Google but I really had no other choice thanks to my limited insurance options. From my first visit I was treated so kindly and professionally by the front desk staff. I’ve had multiple visits since and everyone has been equally wonderful. My reason for care was to have testing performed. The testing did not provide me with any conclusive results and I opted to proceed with a brain map test (my choice not forced or coerced by facility). The test was administered by a grad student who was nothing less than sweet and caring and was informative through the process. After my test I set an appointment to specifically see Dr. Barclay to go over my results. Dr. Barclay was very professional and took his time going over my results (finally got the answers I needed) and addressed all my concerns. Please don’t let bad Google reviews deter you from giving this place a try. Everyone is unique and has their own experiences; In my case I’m happy I trusted them with my care and will definitely continue to use them for any of my future needs.

My experience was amazing! My two hour drive was worth it! The ladies at the front desk always made my visit beyond amazing, they greeted us with a smile, answered every nervous question this mama had to ask. And if they didn't know the answer they made sure to go find that answer! They made me feel like every question I had was very important. The employees in the back took time to speak with me and explian the process for my child. And how things work. The second visit I was so confused and they sat down and explained how it worked and that took so much stress and confusion off my shoulders! Now we are just waiting on the results! Would recommend 10/10 do not read the reviews and not go! Go get your own opinion!

Let me start by saying that I haven't sought mental health help in 10 years due to horrific treatment by past doctors. That changed yesterday when I saw Noel Dianas-Huges & Laura Cook. They cared.

They’ve done a huge turnaround and have some new policies and Darlene Hilton is a doll. No therapist has ever taken me under their wing like she has. She’s my one on one but I appreciate all of the therapists there and the work they do for IOP. Shoutout to Campbell! And the rest. It has been a great experience that has helped me grown tremendously and I can’t wait to see what the future holds there for me! They have it all!

Day 280 the excellent home geriatric doctor is awesome. The benefits are excellent. We’ve adapted and so appreciate the VA! Day 2 and not as impressed but they did fix a wrong scan order so we didn’t have to pack up and leave. Was told meds ready and not there yet. A very long day running around getting nothing done. Day 1 was very impressed with the care my 93 yr old vet fatherin-law received today. He couldn’t have asked for more. All difficulties were addressed, the nearby UVA pharmacy was super speedy and convenient. A different specialty drug through the VA pharm was free and can now be taken.. They have MDs that can come to your house. We got appts lined up a week after we called. Everyone was super awesome. The RN couldn’t been nicer. MD super thorough. A wonderful asset for veterans! We waded through another VA out of state and it was hell getting things set up and no thoroughness medically but also provided great services. We’re happy to find this easier. Thank u!
