I scheduled an appointment with Toyin Adekunle (via Sondermind), needing to refill a prescription. She never showed up to our appointment. That has a big impact on my time, which could have been spent getting care elsewhere.

SLOW has made a huge impact in my daughters life. She was inpatient in psychosis and dealing with substance abuse. She has been out a year plus. She was able to get an apartment, she has a full time job and back to being a productive adult. I cant thank Slow enough for the changes I've seen.

From my first session, I felt comfortable and genuinely listened to. Therapy felt like a safe space to work through difficult emotions and gain a better understanding of myself. I appreciate the compassion, professionalism, and personalized care.

This place actively made my mental health worse. I felt like much of the staff was very friendly. The nurses were great. The techs were great. The therapists were great. But I really did not have a good experience with the psychiatrist. The woman is so rude! I went to southern live oak wellness in the fall and had to see her for an “appointment.” I put appointment in quotations because she rushed the entire time and I felt like I wasn’t being looked after correctly so I asked why I was even there. She said “you should be the one to know that.” I told her I do know that but I felt like she could spend a bit more time with me and she only spent about 5-7 minutes with me. She then told me “I’m a doctor. What doctor do you know that isn’t busy” or something like that. She didn’t even make any medication changes that she said she’d make. I heard on another day when I was listening nearby she was talking about me with someone else because I heard my name and she said “he just bitter and hates life and takes it out on me. No wonder he’s sad” I’m so hurt by this and I’ve been thinking about it still. So I go a place for help and I’m called bitter? I don’t understand and I won’t ever be back DONT trust the psychiatrist. She’s so mean

The discharge process was extremely messy. They tried to move my discharge date over a week early without having any plans for what php I’d be going to and how I’d transition back into living outside the facility. They also changed the php I would be going to about 4 times. They said I needed a trauma focused program but sent me somewhere with addiction focused treatment. That facility discharged me after 4 days because they said the program wasn’t suitable. They have made my transition incredibly uncomfortable and frustrating

Not sure if I left a review before or not, but this place is heaven. Helped me so much when I was going through my first ever psychosis crisis. The staff is patient and knowledgeable. The therapy/classes were so helpful, I use what I learned there daily. The food was great, rooms were comfortable. They are very encouraging to do everything to help you get back to a good place mentally. I’m still healing and in a much better place now in my life, but sometimes I still think about it and miss it lol. I can’t thank them enough for taking me in. I owe them the world!
