Plains Area Mental Health Center

"Had a family emergency in March and missed an appointment for my son and now black listed. So much for hypocritical oaths doctors take"

"The Dr and therapists I've seen have been great. Their policy not allowing scheduling more than 2 weeks out is ridiclious and dangerous leaving patients without meds and telling them to call back in a week."

"Chief medical Charles Tilly is my doctor who prescribes most of my medications. I went their in 2019 after going to a facility in 2019 and when I got back home I was still seeing him. But when I went to spirit lakes facility for plains area... it was horrible. But we ain't talking about plains area spirit lake we talking about le Mars iowa plains area. Anyways... my doctor before I went to Charles tilly I was basically I was put on a good amount of medications and it was awful x.x but until I saw Charles tilly, he said to me that my main goal is to put you on less medications as possible. Also with my last recent visit via zoom, he said that he knows I don't do well in hospitals and he just wants me to stay right where I am. That's with my good mother. Plus he knows alot about natives. (I don't know how though) But when I get so nervous before an appointment with him, and when the appointment comes he talks in a very calming way and for some reason I can open up to him and I'm super calm. Like being nervous to calm in an instant. I don't know how he does his magical powers but he does. To be honest... I think he has a gift spiritually. Also he's a really good doctor for medications. Also my therapist Angela Nilles is a cool beans therapist. I love her so much. ^-^"

"Worst mental health place ever. They are lazy, unfriendly and unprofessional. They absolutely refuse to set an intake appointment....you have to just show up and sit for hours, potentially all day waiting for someone to cancel so a staff is available. They ask the most ridiculous, inapplicable questions...none of which is pertinent to anything other than their profitability. BEWARE! Neither this agency nor its staff care one bit about people, their health or well being. If you have to choose between hell or this place....hell is a safer, more loving, more rewarding place."

"I have Bipolar 2, and the staff are all friendly, calm, and treat me well. I go there for therapy as well as for getting my medicine checked and they do an awesome job. Most places I've been to couldn't even help me with my mental illness because my moods were bouncing and they had no idea what to say or do. Just being here has helped me tremendously as they actually know what they are talking about. They also have options for people who can't get back and forth to the offices as well."
