Want your daughter to be disgusted by her body after gaining 40 lbs within 8 months? I hope not. I came to Laurel Heights with no body issues.

I was unfortunate enough to be a "client" or paitient at Laurel Hieghts "Hospital" in 86-87. For profit Hospital is really all you need to know about this place. The staff wasn't the issue, the management was.

Very poor communication with parents. Staff does not often get back to parents, parents get different feedback on child's behavior/progress depending on whom they speak with, so there is no confidence in information provided. Lack of follow-through by unit staff. Some therapists are good and others are very poor (not reviewing patient charts/files prior to family therapy sessions, rendering sessions useless). Psychiatrist good. School poor, with no significant consequences if students don't complete assignments for our child... read more
