Everyone there was great with the exception of an extremely rude woman by the name of Angela working at patient check in at urgent care who behaved extremely rude and unprofessional causing my brother's fragile mental condition to become agitated and caused him to become very nervous and shaky and uncomfortable. This woman continued to feel the need to repeatedly say that she "knew how to do her job" because she has "worked there 20 years", but this person has no business working with people who suffer from mental disorders. She made myself and my brother extremely uncomfortable. My brother was already experiencing mental and emotional distress about coming to a new place and she made it worse. He became hesitant to complete his sign in paperwork and became very shaky. My brother struggles to communicate due to his condition and this person loudly and openly put him on the spot making the entire check in very uncomfortable. Another patient in the waiting area commended me for not losing my cool with this extremely poorly trained woman.

This place isn't the worst place to go for mental health, but it's also not the worst. I will say this though, I had very unconventional interests (professional demolitions) and I voiced as much (to my stupidity), they heard that and twisted my words during the court date. This is why we have a mental health crisis, because places like this are usually playing some type of games with people's mental health or are like Hell on Earth.

None of your Business

Absolutely awful. Stay away from the START clinic. Kathryn Fraser is the medical director and shouldn't have a job much less be medical director. She's rude, argues with patients and tell them that they are lying to cover for her lying psychiatrists. She blames the patients for her own shortcomings and those of her psychiatrists. She is hostile, cuts you off, is verbally abusive and rude. Unprofessional.

It's not a hospital policy, it is state law. Many states do allow 2 to 3 day psych holds on adults being admitted by family - there is nothing like this in NM.

If you cannot safely bring her into the UPC yourself, in Albuquerque you can call 242-COPS and request CIT (Crisis Intervention Team) contact. I believe Rio Rancho may also have CIT.

my grandson has been acting really aggressive. Yelling and cursing but is like an emotional roll-coaster..happy, aggressive, kind,angry... no medication changes what is wrong????

Since this is not the appropriate forum to seek medical advice, the best suggestion I can make is to please call his physician's office or seek other professional consultation such as that available at psychiatric emergency services (PES) at the psychiatric center. If you feel unsafe or believe that he is a danger to himself or others, call 9-1-1 or, if in Albuquerque,242-COPS.

Are you closed on weekends?

Stella Martinez | Nov 6, 2020
Carrie B. | Nov 6, 2020

Psych Emergency (PES) is open 24/7, 365 days a year. Outpatient clinics in the same building are open Monday through Friday, 8AM to 5PM, and closed all major holidays.

I haven’t been able to work because of my panic attack’s, PTSD and everything’s. The reason I say this is because my therapist won’t be at her new place until until May 1st. I don’t know where to get my meds refilled.

They will not fill any benzodiazepines for anxiety. I went from a nurse, resident and doctor just to tell me they don’t prescribe medications. It was a waste of time and he was so rude. He didn’t even introduce himself.
