The quality of services here have really gone downhill. Lately, every time I come in, there is always some kind of issue, or they are way too disorganized to know what's going on. Also, the long waits get longer every day. Very disappointing.

I am giving Midlakes 5 stars because I believe in the doctors and staff there. They truly care about their patients and are trying to rebuild a place that has not had the best reputation over the years. I give them credit for their efforts and transparency.When I first brought my three boys there last year to see Dr. Mina Girbes I did not expect she would have me in tears in the hallway. She could tell I was overwhelmed and she pulled me aside to say, in essence, "I see you." That meant the world to me.At that time, the wait was long. But the care was what we needed. So we stuck with it.We've since returned two more times, once for a sick visit and once for a well check. The wait was much shorter. Staff were all friendly.Midlakes, we see you and we appreciate all you do for the community.
Amazing staff super friendly and I've needed to go here 4 times in my like never waited more than 20 minutes. Life savers!
For a government facility, they handle things so unprofessionally, not to mention rude.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
In the DBT Group patients must be involved in individual therapy at the clinic to be in this group. The group uses instructional lecture, group discussion, behavioral rehearsal with modeling and role-play, written handouts, and homework assignments to help you decrease unmanageable issues in your life.
