Patient review of North American Mental Health Services, Salinas

"This place will tell you exactly what you want to hear and then when you get there, nothing is as it should be. . . . They only want to manage medication. Having a call center for all of your establishments is a very bad deal."

Patient review of North American Mental Health Services, Salinas

"She is kind and gentle! She just made me feel it was ok as I was so nervous to see her. She helped me immensely and I am grateful."
