In patients' words
"Trying to navigate Kaiser Behavioral Health significantly exacerbated my already intense symptoms of depression and suicidality."
— Kaiser patient, public comment"I first reached out to Dr. Chacko for help with depression, anxiety, and ADHD. Now 4+ years later, I can say without hesitation that he has been a genuinely transformative force in my life."
— Patient review on WebMD"Former employees told reporters they were spat on, groped and at times left alone to break up fights, and they say managers often failed to intervene."
