Best place of the sort youll find in the state. Keep in mind those who have bad experiences are more likely to review than those who have good or ok experiences. They cant fix you, but they will stabilize you. Thats their goal. Ive been to infinitely worse places and many people havent, so this place seems restrictive to them. But this is the best at this level. I trust them and thank them.

My brother went in for an ADHD evaluation and they evaluated him with Major Depressive Disorder. The medication they put him on made him into a zombie and made him more depressed. The psychiatrist's ego got in the way of a proper diagnosis. They refuse to see him now because he had to go elsewhere to get a proper diagnosis. Sarah, he didn't have MDD, if you had just listened to him you would have seen that.

I recently had an unfortunate experience at the behavioral health emergency department of Lehigh Valley Hospital Network Muhlenberg. The nursing staff's lack of compassion and empathy, along with their rudeness, made my stay extremely distressing. My requests were ignored, and I felt unheard. In a frustrating situation, I was forcibly injected with medications against my will, exacerbating my distress. The head nurse failed to explain to me the side effects of the medication she injected into my leg. When I asked her she said I dont know, Im not a pharmacy tech, which is completely unacceptable for someone in that position. I told her perhaps she needs to go back to school. Im considering filing a lawsuit for the level of incompetency and neglect I received while there. Also, the unsanitary bathroom conditions, including a dirty toilet, added to the overall discomfort. Additionally, there was a noticeable lack of communication between the staff, which contributed to the overall sense of disorganization and impacted the quality of care I received. St. Lukes Anderson BHE department is significantly better by a long shot. Their nursing staff is competent, compassionate and exhibits effective communication between staff and patients. Their facility is also much cleaner and well kept. Their patient rooms are warmer and nicer, they even have a TV in each room. Perhaps LVHN Muhlenberg BHE should model their department after their competitors, because if I have another mental health crisis in the future, I will NOT be returning to LVHN Muhlenberg. I feel as if there are a ton of improvements that could and should be made within the BHE department at Muhlenberg from the staff working within it as well as the rooms and facility itself. Do better LVHN.
