Reviews of Focus Behavioral Health
"I love this place! Dr. Hurst is always friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. The staff is incredible as well. I've been going for almost 5 years now and I wouldn't want to go to any other place."
"I’ve had nothing short of excellent care at Focus Behavioral Health. My therapist is very knowledgeable, non judgmental, and friendly. My prescriber is extremely experienced, supportive, and was able to get me stabilized in short order on my medications. I highly recommend this practice for anyone considering talk therapy and/or medication treatment!"
"So originally, I was going to just leave this place, never look back, and stay silent. But I think it is important that people know about the absolute trauma I experienced under Guilford Hurts's care. Just a heads up, this will be a long review, but I promise you, if you are considering him as your medication provider, please read this first. I was assigned to see Guilford Hurst in 2016. I was 19 years old, and had just left a psychiatric hospital. It's also important to note that I was in a severely abusive relationship for the majority of the time I was with Guil. In 2016, I think Guil may have still possibly cared about his job at that point, but that quickly changed. So desperate for help, I unfortunately looked to Guil to help get me stable. He didn't stabilize me, he completely numbed me out. He knew I was getting horrendously abused at home by my boyfriend, so he was giving me Xanax and many other medications in that medication family just to be numb. I would be given a bottle of 90 at a time. Guil was also fully aware that drug abuse is in my family's history, and it was still prescribed. I went through the entire bottle in a week, and without question, he refilled it again. This was the beginning of the end for me. Guil isn't interested in long-term results for his clients. He's only looking to make them as numb as possible so they have less to complain about. At just 19 years old, my therapist told me I was the most heavily medicated patient she has ever had. This is due to the fact that if I complained about any emotion I was struggling with, he would just up my dosages, and prescribe something else to make me number. Fast forward five years later, I am out of my abusive relationship, but am officially a drug addict completely addicted to the unbelievable number of uppers and downers he was giving me. Things such as Vyvanse, Adderall, Xanax, and the worst one to date- Ambien, among so many more. Even though the largest stressor in my life was gone and I was trying to heal, Guil's main objective was keeping me numb. I didn't have a personality; I didn't know who I was. I was young, and stupid, and thought I could trust Guil. However, Guil prefers quiet, numb, patients that he doesn't have to worry about. Once I started reaching out to Guil because I was worried about how spaced out I was and I really wanted to reevaluate my medications because I have no energy, I can't focus, I'm depressed, etc. Well, that meant Guil would actually have to do work. Our conversations afterwards started lasting only about a minute, most of it being him talking over me and telling me he's increasing my doses again. And then soon after, I'd get a call about thirty minutes before my appointment in the office saying my appointment needed to be rescheduled. This happened at least a dozen times. So, once I started realizing I wasn't going to be free from this unbelievably strong grip all these medications had on me, I knew I needed to find someone else. The first question my new psychiatrist asked me was if I was schizophrenic. I was pretty confused by this because I don't have this and have never shown any symptoms for it. I found out she was asking, because Guil had prescribed me three medications which main purpose is to treat schizophrenia. For a year after leaving Guil, I went through absolute HELL from the withdrawal of these medications. But my new psychiatrist didn't give up on me, she wasn't starting me on the highest dose possible of my medications like Guil had been doing, she'd sit with me through the whole 30-minute appointment even. It has now been a year and a half without the curse of Guil. I have been correctly diagnosed and given medications reflecting those diagnoses. Because I have a history of addiction, my new psychiatrist has made a great point to keep me away from addictive medications. I'm still figuring myself out and who I am. My doctors say due to what Guil was prescribing to me, that even though I am 26 now, mentally, I'm not past the developmental level of 19, maybe 20-years-old right now."
"They were alright for a while. I wanted to switch therapists, and they kept saying they were going to call me back on and off for months and giving me vague information. At some point they eventually just told me it was “against their policy” to switch people. I was already very stressed and upset before hearing this, and they pulled this out of nowhere on me. Obviously I’m not mentally great so I was very upset and crying on the phone, but they didn’t seem to care in the slightest. A few weeks later I got a letter that was basically severing my spot as a patient there. They printed this the day of the call. I also made the mistake of referring a friend to them. She has had a number of issues as well, such as them messing up her billing, her medications, and scheduling her for appointments only to have never logged it properly in their system and wasted her time completely. They don’t care about patients here. For the sake of your own mental health, seek elsewhere."
