In patients' words

"Always will recommend this clinic... They helped me through my mental breakdown and now I’m mentally stable and have my meds managed well. They are all so compassionate and they listen to you."

Tebra (Review for Lorraine Chidester, APRN)

"Despite arriving with clear evidence of head trauma and seizure activity, my charting contains inaccurate, contradictory statements... Transparency, accountability, and professionalism should be the baseline in healthcare, not the exception."

Rehab.com (Review for Mary Greeley Medical Center)

"The actual therapists I worked with at CIPS were excellent. The office not so much. They consistently failed to call me back..."
