Primary Children's Hospital - Wasatch Canyons Inpatient Psychiatry

Place was pretty good, but I'm mostly just posting this because I'm looking for someone who was there because I need to tell them something. Her name is Camille and she told me not to punch a mirror. If anyone knows anything, leave a review about it. Also posting in questions section so you could respond to that too

I don’t know why this place has so many negative reviews?! This is the BEST inpatient program I have EVER been to. And I’ve been to a lot. This place changed my life for the better. It is AMAZING. The staff are so caring. There was one doctor. Dr. Schwei and he might be VERY intimidating but he knows what he’s doing. He helped me so much to become who I am today. I owe him for my mental stability. It is an amazing program and I highly recommend this over ANY inpatient program in the state of Utah. This place changed my life for the better. I love it so much.

We saw Dr Lyssa Haase and the entire diagnostic experience was wonderful. She was kind and welcoming and very good with our two year old. The staff was kind as well. We had minimal wait times and they got us scheduled for all of our appointments quickly. Would definitely recommend.

The best advice I can give parents is to never, ever put your child here. It would be in your best interest to find somewhere else. Throughout this visit, I was unable to find a single positive. There were very few staff who acted like they cared about patients- others ignored us or sometimes mocked us. The nurses were alright, besides making a lot of mistakes with my medications. However, I remember one in particular, who very blatantly insulted patients, even making horrible comments over a panic attack I had. Rules were extremely and unnecessarily strict, and we were very isolated. Despite giving us a schedule, they did not follow it and we spent most of our day sitting alone in a room with nothing to do. Even as my entire group asked for things to change, they dismissed us. The “therapy” was a joke. The social worker was horrible. Talked in a way that was demeaning and constantly mocked us and treated us as if they were talking to incompetent toddlers. He was clearly taking advantage of his power. Visits with him were traumatizing. I was admitted despite being as stable as usual. However, being here caused me to suffer a horrible relapse of depression and related bad habits. Anxiety that I originally had managed came back with a vengeance. This experience drove a wedge in between my parents and it’s caused a lot of unnecessary pain. I am begging anyone reading to take their child elsewhere. This was easily the most painful experience I have ever gone through and I pray for all the others who are going through it now.

i have been through this whole program and it has impacted me in the best way. i LOVE the staff.
