Reviews of Cornwall Hospital - Community Addiction & Mental Health Services (Psychiatrist)

Aaron Larose

Such a hard time to get through to them. Never pick up the phones what a joke!

Delete your old reviews all you want your still a 1 star hospital. No doctors onsite no triage nurses, people bleeding out on the floor for hours waiting for A number to be called, waiting room so full no seats. And staff has no clue what to do in an emergency. Not a single triage nurse so lots of blood everywhere. The only good reviews come from hospital staff, just like review from Victoria. But hey at least they spent Millions on marble decoration and hallways....????

Good hospital the staff are very friendly and helpful for your appointment otherwise is not easy in the emergency department you have to wait a lot and a lot it a very big difficult to see a doctor in the emergency

I would first like to state that often people who go to a hospital are already not in a good mood. I’ve heard good things and experienced them here and I’ve experienced long waiting but often because they don’t have a lot of doctors on call at night. If you have an option of going to Winchester hospital go there if not than go to Cornwall. It’s not a horrible place, some people are nicer than others that’s the world. Please don’t judge something on others experiences or on just one experience you’ve had, be open to forgiving and giving it another try.

Worst "Wait List" Time/Length I've ever seen. 7 Months - Numerous Referrals I moved to Cornwall from another city - with referrals from my current mental health team aswell as my family doctor and was told it will be atleast 7 months before I'm able to recieve help here. Their suggestion was to go to the "4th floor" (inpatient) for a stay if I needed immediate help. Back story - I was diagnosed with Bipolar 1 with rapid cycling over a year ago and schizophrenia roughly 4 years ago - at 23 I started to take my mental health into my own hands - 2 years of trying different meds and constant therapy (CBT) I am finally making progress. Unfortunately I had to move immediately and housing being on the cheaper end in Cornwall I moved here. I never dreamed that cheap rent somehow also ment cheap mental health care. Point is I spent 2 years working so hard at getting back to feeling "normal". Through all the up's and down's I was trying not to give in. Moving to Cornwall - their extreme wait times and lack of wanting to help really set me back. As someone with a mental health disorder I'm very disappointed in how the Cornwall Mental Health System is ran. There are people out there who want to help - unfortunately maybe not in Cornwall. Inpatient treatment does not help/work for everyone. Specially if a person is on the right track, taking the correct steps and has made sufficient progress towards being a honourable member of society.... I am very lucky to have an amazing support team in Lanark County - I have no idea where I would be or what I would do with out them. I hope Cornwall Mental Health pulls its socks up... you have to opportunity to change lives - locking them up in a glorified asylum shouldnt be the first answer Do not give up - not all Mental Health Buildings are ran this way! *also I would like to note the screening lady I had was a very kind woman. She was very calm and compassionate with some humor. A light and kind hearted person. To bad whoever runs Cornwall Mental Health is not more like her...

They cancelled my Psychiatry appointment without telling me, because they closed my file when throwing me into group therapy I didn't want. One of their group therapists (there was two, the other was an angel) insulted me about having a SDiT in front of the whole group, causing me to stop going, now my file is closed and they don't have my appointment that was booked since December???? Better get some answers Monday... really not impressed.

Do not bother going here, they put you on a waiting list forever and then forget about you. these people don’t help. Mental health support is hard to get and these people make everything more difficult. Don’t waste your time try to go to Ottawa

The service level has been excellent !

they hand out drugs all the time but have no idea about the side effects. How many people in the area think they are losing their mind but are actually having a drug reaction? How many seniors are crippled and damaged because of medication? Inventing diseases, misdiagnoses, over prescribing...….it is going on all the time as it is very profitable. Do not trust your doctor or pharmacist to warn you about side effects...they only tell you the common ones. The rare side effects are not rare...just never reported. Deal with this Heath Centre with great caution. If you discover what they have done to you..they will say you are not their mandate..they really do not care about the damage they have done. Do not expect them to save you. Your life does not matter to them.

Helpful nice and respectful

They denied me of counselling services because I beat my addiction & needed a different counsellor. They're a bunch of jokes and they don't do their jobs right. They make a bad name for the mental health care community.
