Kelowna Mental Health & Substance Use - Kelowna, British Columbia

I've had nothing but problems with these doctors and staff.. from having them writing the wrong script.. MULTIPLE times , the doctors threaten you all the time, I've asked Dr Mcdonald to see a psychiatrist or a specialist in mental health for MONTHS now, and she just continues to either not care or not do her job. She has especially made me feel uncomfortable and unwated and even admitted to the mistakes she's made in the past. Im extremely dissapointed at how unorganized they are .. You're better off finding a different solution for your health problems. Plus finding a doctor who will actually care about you.

**You don't make money off healthy people. **

Remember that, everyone. These people are burning trash in human form. "Doctor" is a misleading title when all they learning in school is what perceptions to place you on. You cant trust anyone with a medical degree.. They're here to empty your pockets, not fix your problem.. that they caused BTW.

Food for thought - poor and unhealthy people are easier to control. One prescription leaves an underlying issue for another prescription.

We have recently received excellent supportive and care from the Oat clinic. We are very thankful for the doctors, nurses and staff who have been there for us in such a professional and knowledgeable way. It has made all the difference

These people saved my life. There is one perticular nurse practitioner who I have been with two years now who saw me through my addiction and never gave up hope on me. They used to be really hard to get into but now it's the same day treatment and they are so understanding and amazing.

I learned a lot thru these guys. However, I kinda felt like I was being funneled into DBT. Once my counselor and I agreed that DBT didn't seem to be exactly what I needed at the moment, I was told she could no longer see me if I wasn't in DBT. However, the time I was there I learned a lot. I'm no longer in the program but still find some of what I was taught to be quite helpful.

I would like to say how extremely disappointed I am with the methadone clinic in Kelowna. I was in desperate need of finding help for my younger brother who is addicted to heroin. I had made a call to the clinic twice once getting off the phone with literally not a response giving me a clear answer leaving me no choice but to call back and ask again what kind of help they had for people addicted to heroin. I thoroughly exaplined to the lady that he did not have any ID at the time and just desperately needed methadone. Her response was "we do not like to turn anyone away" making me believe that the good news I thought I had gotten would be followed through with on the Monday morning for him to get some help. Boy was I wrong, not only did he not get a perscription for methadone, but he would literally have to wait however many days before seeing a doctor. So what did he have to do? Make his way to Vancouver to get immediate treatment. He has now gotten the care and help he was begging for in Vancouver.

It's a long wait list to get in, but all the different resources and programs they have available has really helped me throughout the years. Thank you for having these services available.
