Internal Medicine Associates of Auburn - Auburn Michael Janes: Had a Drs appointment on 2/14/25 had to reschedule due to a work meeting. Rescheduled for 2/19/25. Went in and used the kiosk to check in, said I dont have an appointment, so I went to the receptionist and she looked up my info and then to me to sit down and wait. 5 mins later office manager comes out and brings into a conference room to tell me Dr. Price has dropped me as a patient due to too many missed and rescheduled appointments. I told that the majority of my rescheduled appointments were due to scheduling conflicts with work and I only had 1 no call/no because I forgot. She said they mailed me a letter on 2/14/25 and here it is 2/19/25 still no letter. I also told her that I did not receive a warning, which I should have, because they never told that that was a policy. She agreed and then said "Im sorry but there is nothing else she could do". When asked about another Dr. In the office I was told no one else is taking new patients. I have been going there for 20 years and not once has anybody told me about such a policy. Also they never followed up with me about my last blood draw which shos signs of hypothyroidism. Very disgusted with them. Dont waste your time with them.
Chautauqua County Health Department - Mayville Clarissa Dickey: The women staffed here were wonderful.
Theyre respectful, reassuring, and actually want to help you.
Whether youre being immunized, treated for STDs, or just getting birth control-they make it quick and easy.
Its a damn shame the planned parenthood part is being shut down later this year.
UPMC Chautauqua - Jamestown Random T: ***FOR THE MENTAL HOSPITAL UNIT ONLY.***
To be honest my 3 stays there when I was in a pretty tough situation in my life was sucky. I donât like plenty of the staff for their own reasons Iâll explain below.
First of all, this was a while back and Iâve heard from a friend who went back there that itâs horrible. Donât sent a loved one here. For the childrenâs unit I was in, they constantly had children that were unruly and dangerous (expected, but they barely did jobs to defend anyone), and would just let these kids scream, kick and beat on doors to the point they had to lock everyone else in rooms. Again, expected, but most of the time they didnât do much to protect the other kids by removing the threat. They just let staff talk to them for an hour and call it a day as everyone else was scared as they threaten to end our lives over a pair of socks. Iâve also heard from friends of mine that some people here were oddly⊠touchy. Along with that they put me in a room with demonic drawings and curses on my third visit, which they did repaint over after I told them though.
About the staff, my biggest concern was a nurse. I think her name was Amy, some platinum blonde dyed hair nurse with a tan. She was the worst nurse in the unit you could have. She would pick favorites with the kids who were specifically the ones who would beat on doors and try to attack other kids, and give them special privileges. Amy would consistently let these kids get away with things she would scold us for, for wether it was âthey have a tough likeâ (which, everyone whoâs in the psych ward does), or âthey have a disabilityâ (which doesnât excuse enabling them learning itâs ok to act out). My core memory from my third stay was her searching rooms due to me and my friend passing a note about something personal in my life. I refused the note so they did a search of every room. Amy proceeded to let her favorite kid prance around in everyoneâs room when we werenât even allowed to talk to someone inside their room at their door, let alone go inside. She proceeded to grab my specific journal with all my thoughts, and took it. There was no possible way she couldâve known it was a thoughts journal if she hadnât looked in it, as I had two. They arenât even supposed to let people take journals they provide either.
Another time I had a bad breakdown in my room due to being upset with Amyâs favorite kid, and I was very upset. I hurt myself numerous times in it, including biting myself and scratching myself (though they dont care wether you hurt anyone here as long as its not traceable to blame on them, as long as they get their paycheck), and then heard later from multiple friends in the ward that the nurses and aids were LAUGHING at my meltdown and making comments about how overdramatic i was being. Mind you, this was a manic breakdown, i was not ok. no one came to check on me or even evaluate me after either.
I remember being here once and they had numerous small children who were clearly cases of being bratty children with enabling parents who I would see hit themselves and claim their parents bruised them.
Never send a mentally sick or in need family member here, this is a sick place with people whoâs only priority is to help themselves, not the people who they are PAID to help.
if this hospital has any want to actually help children and adults who are mentally ill, find better staff, for gods sake.
