Sagamore Children's Psychiatric Center

Victoria Leigh

As a former patient, over 10 years later — if I could have this place shut down I would in a heartbeat. Absolutely horrible treatment of children and teenagers who are already clearly going through enough. These kids need help, not punishment and humiliation and sedation, throwing prescription after prescription and inaccurate diagnoses left and right. Their pockets are clearly lined by pharmaceutical companies, administering meds that hadn’t been approved for children to ingest and blatantly ignoring said childrens’ (and their parents’) concerns that something isn’t right. I still have lifelong physical side effects and PTSD from what I was put through in this hospital. This place is a portal to hell. If you want your children to leave with more issues than they arrive with, by all means, sign your rights away to their incompetent team of doctors and directors. If you love your babies, if you want to advocate for them and see them get the help they need and care they deserve… take them literally anywhere else. Please.

30 years of age now. Wow! It has been a blink of an eye! Time flies. The staff back in 04, 09 were above and beyond. I don't regret being there. I have learned so much about myself fundimentally. I learned how to express myself, open up towards people... Ain't nobody a mind reader on this planet! Lastly, who knew that Following Instructions are the basic skills yet a small portion to fulfill and persevere in life? 100 points,YES! That's the key! I am alive and well! Heeeay! I Iearned from my mistakes. I WILL not forget were I came from!

There’s a senior staff member there named Geoffrey and he body slammed one of your kids. There were witnesses and there are cameras. You all should be outraged. They fire good staff that actually try to take care of and stand up for your kids, while promoting savages that play by renegade rules and hurt your kids. It’s your choice but I wouldn’t take my kids there. Don’t trust them!

i was a patient here as a teen......it was torture/abuse......the man below (Michael Ehrenfeld) and other staff (Jen cologne, Theresa colandra, yasmin gordon, pegay, Charlene Beverly, Barbara, Jeff, Sue veniziano, kurt, Ronald, ram, mr. Green, Cisco...) and nurses (jean maroney, Melissa d'Agostino, Ashley, Sue valentine, Lisa Archer...) and teachers (matsunaye, kesner, cinadre...) and admin (Cathy Stein, Irene Sheppard, Darren, grayson Wallace...) were power hungry and heartless and terrible people......this is the end of the tunnel in psych (bc u cant get transferred no where else) so they say and do whatever and get away with it ALL......if u are a physical bad patient then u will get treated (with loads of meds and butt needles) but if u have a broken heart and hurt emotions then the strong people (like Michael Ehrenfeld below and nurses) will abuse u over and over and take away ur dignity and desire to live and stop u to feel good abt urself or life.....meds aren't the way...being humane is and that is not how it is there bc its a power stunt by the staff and nurses and teachers and admin......uneducated high school graduates are suppose to help the saddest and broken hardest kids??
