OSU Behavioral Medicine - Legacy

"The whole osu system was like everyone’s in training (students) and didn’t seem to have the knowledge of actual doctors or psychiatrist. All the OSU places systems do not allow to prescribe any benzodiazepine. Cure all is any anti depressant even if you’re not depressed. 0/10 do not recommend How can they not know the ramifications of prescribing someone not depressed anti depressants and the long term effects!! I feel like they are just working with big Pharma and don’t care about ppls actual problems. And judgmental~ not caring."

"I have been there twice. Never had a problem with anyone. The ladies at the front desk are always pleasant and helpful. The doctor is see is exceptional in her job."

"If I could list 0 stars I would. My girlfriend came her TWICE made so much progress each time from her addiction and Dr.Denny completely disregarded EVERYTHING we said and doesn’t seem to care to help that much. He expects her to just go two days without any medicine to help her feel okay and then just to come in to watch over her. He is not helping his patients. He is hateful and spiteful and doesn’t care about his patients. Claims he’s been through it but clearly it doesn’t seem that way because you wouldn’t act that way if you’ve been through it. I’m thoroughly disappointed with him and this program. It’s worked before but now he’s not helping. It’s shameful. Everytime she sees him she leaves bawling having panic attacks and feeling so down and disappointed in herself. If he actually cared he would help and not let someone feel that way. It’s a process and he gave her only 2 try’s. He shouldn’t have this job anymore. My girlfriend literally feels so hopeless because of how he talked to her"

"I have no idea what all these bad reviews are about. But you know what they say if someone doesn’t like something they will tell 10 people. If they do like something they will tell 3. These people have been extremely professional every visit and I’ve been going here for at least 2 years. The ladies at the front desk are always positive and usually give me a compliment and make me feel good. They always take care of me in a timely fashion and most all my doctors genuinely care about my wellbeing and have always strived to help me improve on myself. If anything 9 times out of ten the fault is with the patient. If your doctor suggests therapy and gives you coping tools YOU NEED TO TRY THEM. stop blaming your healthcare provider and take a look at yourself."

"Benzodiazepine 'Benzo' Patients take notice: Here you are a Drug Addict (by chemistry) and assumed Abuser in an Outpatient Drug Abuse Program. "The Program" - Dr. N immediately All Benzodiazepine are forbidden from prescribing here, yet the Psychiatrist spoke of tapering. You will likely be classed for Drug Abuse when forcibly assigned a Resident Psychiatrist (still in Medical Training). Essentially, this Anxiety Management (like Pain Management) with forced monthly visits, videos of sessions to train Students, 24/7 on call pill counts and drug screens at any time demanded in Tulsa, OK regardless of your location. Your Medical Record will reflect Drug Abuse, Mental Illness(es), and time in Psychiatrist care, likely new DSMV Diagnoses upon the first visit as I experienced. I sat in the waiting room with a lovely woman in her 80s experiencing withdraws from Benzos; holding her hand and talking helped us. She too is an Addict to be tapered off Xanax despite her poor health of great concern. Don't expect any concerns to be answered, as I waited for two weeks with basic questions. Physicians will apparently lie this center is merely for a once yearly Psychiatric assessment to coerce Patients in an intense, expensive, life altering Outpatient Drug Cessation Program, well new Drugs will be 'pushed' just as Doctors did with Benzos once upon a time. You will be Blackmailed to keep your Benzo Rx. As I was told, if you wish not to participate in "The Program" you can leave without an Rx where rapid cessation can cause death by Seizure. In short, if you want to live you can participate in The Program. If you have the resources to see a Doctor of your choosing elsewhere hope they have an opening to discuss your situation. I chose to tempt death than be Blackmailed by a Resident Psychiatrist. I chose to quit The Program as I didn't know I was being enrolled. While I had several seizures I am off Klonopin, and will absolutely not take a new Drug. Well, I'm off the Rx, so now to fight for my Medical Records with a solid Lawyer just to make the record vanish as the Doctors nor Hospital will communicate. Should you exit or be expelled from treatment you have a right to rescind your release. The message to the Staff is “I am rescinding my release of records and videos. You are not to release them to anyone and you are not to disclose that I was ever a patient at your facility.” Should you not know you are now Student Research. Taking your Benzo Rx properly for over a decade, like myself, will end under a Resident Psychiatrist demanding Drug Abuse cessation while attempting to push powerful Psychiatric Rxs and diagnose Mental Illnesses in 55 minutes. If you seek care as an Addict and Abuser of Rxs this location may be beneficial. However, I've never heard of Outpatient Drug Rehab. If you simply wish to taper off a Benzo never set foot in The Program. Please work with your Primary Care Physician to taper off, or do as I and risk death. Make your Primary explain the OSU Behavioral program demands you arrange for montly visits (1/2 off work monthly), leave work for on call pill counts and Mass Spectrometry based Urinalysis done by a seperate Facility without Specimen Chain of Custody failures I easily documented. Three unmarked Urine Specimens not tested for temperature, tampering, or any standard protocol doesn't sound like they care. Don't be surprised to learn you're taking a Street or illegal Rx post Urinalysis. Know the Medical Community now classes Benzos similar to Opioids and related Pain Management - Anxiety Management is here. You are the Abuser yet no Physician will be called the ''Pusher." My Doctor passed away, suddenly I was merely a Benzo Addict by taking as Prescribed (addiction is true, not abuse), but Abuser too. In 14 years, I never had an issue. I took great offense to being called a ''Drug Abuser'' while being videoed in my first session. I quit the Rx despite seizures and will follow any steps to help another avoid this nightmare."
