McLean Hospital is without a doubt, the most highly structured mental health hospital in the United States. The level of care offered here is unprecedented. The hospitals grounds are that of a university campus. With lots of buildings spread throughout a beautiful, peaceful plot of land that is relaxing, calming and full of nature. McLean Hospital's many buildings are very old, but the are magnificent architectural structures that are very well maintained. Inside the buildings are absolutely breathtaking and very clean. The staff is very friendly for the most part. I think there are staff there that may not be liked by some people, while praised by others. I have been a patient here multiple times over the last five years, or so. I've had very good experiences and interactions with staff, for the most part. In a few negative instances, it was usually my mental illnesses that blocked my communication with staff and it was my emotions that prevented a positive experience. McLean remains the oldest asylum still in operation, in the United States to date. They have the very latest, cutting edge therapies and techniques and all the brain scan imaging equipment available. McLean is also a field leader in psychiatric studies. Don't be imposed by the appearance  of Mclean's brick, gothic-like buildings. The are impressive works of architecture and proof that McLean Hospital has certainly stood the test of time. It's a beautiful place and the atmosphere inside the buildings is warm and friendly. Great structured programs, attentive friendly staff and a very clean environment. Once again, voted number one psychiatric hospital in the US for many years, I say "Thank you McLean." Thank you for being there for me when I was truly desperate and needed your help. Thank you for keeping me alive giving me hope and teaching me that I get back from the program only what I was willing to contribute. As everything in life.

People this is a psychiatric hospital. I had to request and beg for my son to return. He was there four years ago and still we do not have a med that works and he is willing to take consistently. Mental illness is still a trial and error area with not enough funding. They do have the best doctors but a lot of the time their hands are tied by the insurance companies for length of stay and number of treatments they can try. Compared to what is out there Mcleans is at the top. I feel luck to have my son there again.

Horrible "consultantation" with Dr. Cao. Forty five minutes late, distracted, unable to answer questions, and told me I needed to come back to have questions answered. Patients who have just received treatment put in reception area to sit and drink water. Never going to go back to McLean!

I have researched and wanted to attend the best treatment I could get for my spiraling depression and bipolar disorder. My therapist and I didn't think I needed to go inpatient so we researched outpatient. McLean is supposed to be the top hospital in the country for psychiatric services. After my initial phone call to their Behavioral Health Program, I wouldn't think this at all. The "administrator" did not make me feel welcomed. All I kept hearing from her was:
1.  We have a 6 week wait
2.  Your insurance won't cover the entire cost of the bill. I have Medicare and she couldn't get off the fact I knew Medicare paid 80%. In fact at one point she started telling me they don't accept out of state Medicaid. What?  I didn't even mention Medicaid. 
3.  She could not stay focused on and answer my questions. 

It would seem comparing the reviews here is very different than looking at their FB page or google searches. Probably just another "control" in place by the establishment because it's "Harvard" associated. I believe the people more and more than I believe paid for "marketing".

I was admitted for electro convulsive treatment. A doctor looking he was in high school came in and reminded me I would still need pills or maintenance ect. I knew that already but had to put it out of mind to get through the treatment his discouragement made me change my mind and he then he threatened me several times with court. I Lester found out that he had just finished his training two months before. They make them attending doctors on inpatient floors right out of school. My chances would have been better anywhere else. I got out without ect because my family requested it was a horrible experience!
