I personally have been going to the AMC for almost 6 years now and let me say the team I have now is the best. I'm clean & sober, working, happy and just have been given so many great opportunities and resources through this clinic. Thank you ALL.

Would give a negative star rating if possible. Nurses and staff are emotionally ABUSIVE to psychiatric patients and go out of their way to make the experience as terrible as they can, (ironically enough) because they’re in a bad mood or just hate their job. I would personally accredit this disgusting behavior to a dangerous combination of a lack of knowledge on what TRUE (mental) health care looks like , combined with an absurd lack of care for patients and their well-being. Traumatizing ex...

They are really good at treating Schizoaffective depressive type but they don't specialize well at OCD anxiety disorders.

Don’t let them give your kids meds unless they really need them. If you don’t visibly see something wrong with them it’s not true. Even if they cry easily or are hyper and naughty as hell. Those are the smartest kids. They just need to be taught differently. The doctors here are in cahoots with teachers and principles throughout NOVA. Beware.

Most recently, a family member was referred to this location; a medical doctor and therapist. If you are in a crisis, do not contact this center, either no one response to your telephone call or they will redirect you to another internal office and a voice mail will respond. Unfortunately, when you need them the most, Their responses are unprofessional and “we are busy”.

The receptionist just hangs up on you and has a nasty attitude. I'm trying to find a new pcp, but apparently they don't want to deal with anyone. I couldn't even tell if I was on hold because she kept being quiet for about a minute for an appointment that was just a week later.

DO NOT COME HERE FOR COVID TESTING! My appointment was scheduled for 9 am. The assistant arrives at 9 am. And she tells us the person conducting the test is not here. She arrives at 930 am and begins to set up her station. Why even make appointments?!

Best behavioral health staff I’ve dealt with so far in my life! The professionals here obviously are very well educated, making them very understanding. Daniel in emergency services talked to me like a friend while I was in a fragile state and I can’t thank him enough!
