Axis Health System - Gunnison

Seems like since it turned into Axis I have had a much harder time getting appointments etc. I recently went in the office to update some info and thank God there was a new receptionist. The last one gave me so much anxiety I avoided her. Not good for a mental health clinic. I would have been happier checking in online than deal with her. Sadly though I had been put on a waiting list a couple months ago for a therapist. Although I have been patient over two years. And then found out there was actually in person appointment available yet no one contacted me. I hope to see improvements continue. I'm grateful for what ever helps I get, but another thing since Axis took over is the emphasis on payment. I can't get an appointment with the therapist now until I get on sliding fee.

Good

Axis is GREAT with anything non- controlled substance related. If you want someone to talk to they are in fact there for you. But my goodness their paranoia regarding C2's is definitely a contributing factor to why the Western Slope of Colorado is plagued by mental health problems.

I went here for a few years, honestly I would say going here is an inconsistent experience with many negative factors but this review is more of my experience this year.
They are always understaffed it is not uncommon to get scheduled out a month for a therapist and a few months for a prescriber so if your in a place where you need to see someone quickly don't bother here
Secondly the quality of there staff is sub par, they have a tendency to lose good people often and almost without warning
Also the last 10 times I went there they did not have front desk staff, you will have to sign in and wait for an online rep so goodluck.
Next is the fact that this place is abysmally bland and unwelcoming. generic furniture and basic office ambiance
if you are looking for a consistent mental health treatment avoid this place for your own sanity.
