Devereux Adolescent Health & Wellness Clinic

Where do I even start.I’ve been going there off and on since 2021. My first ever visit was a nightmare. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety and given anti-depressants and a sleeping aid. They gave me a pregnancy test and everything but told me that I wasn’t pregnant …well I was. And the medication caused a miscarriage. I didn’t even know I was pregnant until I went to the ER for the pain and bleeding. I was very far along where they should have caught it when they tested me so they either lied about me being pregnant or never actually tested my urine for pregnancy.They even belittled and mocked me when I explained that I was feeling sad because my boyfriend cheated on me (he was talking to other girls behind my back in a sexual manner) and when I explained the situation, they told me that I was wrong and it wasn’t cheating. That it only counts as cheating if he physically slept with somebody.Fast forward, I went back for I don’t know what reason. They thought I was possibly bipolar based off my moods and symptoms but that they wanted to evaluate me more before immediately diagnosing me. No biggie…but then at the next appointment, they denied saying that they ever suggested I was bipolar when I brought it up to them. And said my mood swings were from depression and I was fluctuating between “being motivated” and “being depressed”.I now see a different doctor at a different practice and guess what…their immediate diagnosis was bipolar disorder and immediately prescribed me mood stabilizers. This helped me 1000x more within a month than deuverux ever did in the 3 years I went there. Avoid this place at all costs. They literally make you feel stupid, and irrational when you explain to them how you are feeling.

My grandson is 20 years old he has received services here at Devereux since he was an adolescent. I needed important information in reference to his case and I spoke with Lisa, Administration Specialist. I received my information promptly where as she research all she could in reference to my grandsons case. They immediately returned to call and gave me all the information that was necessary to help my grandson. My grandson has been receiving services at this location for quite some time. And I would just like to say that their service is very professional. I would recommend this agency to anyone in search of counseling for their loved one.

Where there when we needed them to be.
