Mental Health Providers in Buffalo, Minnesota

I started my child here and at first was very pleased the student we were seeing. I was then scheduled with a doctor who would be more long term option and she immediately made me extremely uncomfortable the way she talked to my child. She was also not aware of the dosage my child was currently on and prescribed him 3 times more than what he was on when we needed to increase and pushed meds that I was not comfortable with even after I continuously communicated bad experiences on the past with these meds, she pressured it until said yes. She didn't even take the time to get to know my child before trying to put him on 3 medications. The front desk is also extremely rude. Terrible experience all around.

I was very lucky to find a place at Lakeside Academy to send my son. The staff, counselors, and coaches truly helped him by understanding him and helping him through the tough times. My son didn't want to go, but after five weeks of being there, I started to see a difference in my son. He loved being around other people his age who were dealing with the same struggles in life, and enjoyed interacting with the staff. The best thing he liked about Lakeside was that when he was doing well in the program, his team gave him higher responsibilities. As tough as it was from a parent point of view to send my son to Lakeside, I am thankful I sent him there. They worked with not just my son, but also myself and our family throughout his journey. This made it a little easier for when he graduated the program. The staff are truly a family, and for that I am extremely grateful.
