Customer ReviewsforHeritage Oaks Hospital

I read the positive reviews on this place and I'm thinking these people are employees of this place. The One star reviews are more accurate. I stopped in to this place to talk to someone about my depression. After something of a lengthy **nversation, I was put on a ***** hold with the claim that I was entertaining suicidal ideologies (which was not true at all and I had even said I didn't have any thoughts of hurting myself or anyone else). All of my personal belongings were taken away from me so I was not able to call my family or my husband to let anyone know where I was at. I attempted to call police to tell them I was being held there against my will and one of the workers ran out of her office area to shut off all of the phones in the upstairs area. All doors were locked and a group of us were caged in like animals. At the end of my stay, I read the Dr.'s diagnosis which was that I am "grossly ill" and my right to carry has been taken away. This is bad news for me because I work in Security and have been turned down / disqualified for positions with **** and the ********** ***** During my first stay, the head office person threatened to not feed the patients because they became angry saying they wanted out of there and one woman in particular who was pregnant had not been receiving medical care the entire time I was there and she was ** mplaining of being in pain. It wasn't until I adised her that she **uld see any physician she wanted if they weren't going to care for her. That's when a "Dr." came in to see her.Not only did this place put an unwarranted ***** hold on me, lock me up, and diagnose me in**rrectly,, but they also took away my livlihood by restricting my career.

Horrible nightmare experience! Police wont help. Dirty place, inhumane, patient's are drugged and violated including me. I left there worse than when I went in. Law enforcement is involved and many people are raped and abused. Drugged and treated like cattle. Staffing is almost non existent and they let men and woman be in same halls with no protection!
