If it wasn't for Matt Kuwalski, and his hard work, and his passion, I don't know where I will be today. The whole inpatient and outpatient teams and groups and doctors are all very loving, kind, and compassionate. They stand true to their claim that there is hope and recovery at Fremont hospital. Matt's philosophy of teaching is unique, and something that only Fremont hospital has. Through his experiences with mental illness, homelessness, addiction, etc. his knowledge is spread to us through what he writes. THank you Fremont Hospital and Matt Kuwalski and the rest of the team!

I like this hospital and really wish I could go back to it had good times with the second floor staff they are good people they treated me well and now I really wish I could go back here like right now every time time I feel really depress or suicidal I wish I could go back to Fremont hospital I love it and good staff they are like family wish I could go back there rigth now the bad thing is they don’t want me back here just because I have Kaiser ughh makes me feel real bad being honest miss those good old days now I just feel real suicidal like I am seriously thinking about killing myself it’s a real hard battle everyday that is getting to the point that I will commit suicide

I just got out of this place today, sucks because I wasn't able to talk to a guy I wanted to talk to because of the rules, but 1 the food Is terrible, 2 the put me in a room with an aggressive girl, and I even asked the nurse to not have a room with her. but they said "Just for tonight" btw I'm 13 and that girl is 19. I did not feel safe. but on the help wise and therapy groups its okay

I had a good experience. Rooms are beautiful,nurses are professional and caring. The food is healthy and well prepared and served. The doctors have done a good job with my son especially Dr. Patel. She saved my son and I can't thank her enough. She exceeded my expectations. All the staff are professional and courteous starting from the front door guard to the doctors. Giving poor reviews to this beautiful facility is harsh and not fair to all the dedicated staff.

So far so good. My loved one was initially taken to John George and they had a wait for a bed which may have taken about a week or so. We advocated for our loved one to be moved where she could begin immediate treatment and get the help that was needed and Fremont Hospital seems like a good choice despite reading some of the bad reviews. We were uncertain of what to expect as we had never gone through this. Once she was there we called and were explained the policy about the 4 digit code. It's discomforting when you haven't seen your family in 3 days and you just want to make sure they're alright; but it makes sense and also helps with the patient being a decision maker in who they allow to contact them or find out anything over the phone. Dealing with mental issues being angry and not wanting anyone to see or speak with you is a possibility so we were more so thinking like what if we never get the code? How will we know what's going on? We then learned that regardless if we have a code or not we are still given an opportunity to show up in person during visiting hours. That was a deep sigh of relief because if she was having a day where she didn't want to communicate with anyone she would at least see our faces hear us say I Love You! And know that we just didn't forget about her or were just leaving her there to fight her battles alone. When we showed up 5 minutes before visiting was over the front desk staff was very courteous. They answered all of our general questions and called the charge nurse for the more detailed ones. A gentlemen explained about bringing in personal items and how we can store our belongings in a locker before visiting. By the time we were ready to see her the clerk advised us the charge nurse said she was sleeping and they dont like to wake them. Keep in mind we hadn't seen her in a couple days and just wanted to make sure she was ok and looked ok physically and by then my mom was a nervous wreck because she was told the same thing at the other facility. When your dealing with adult patients there is only so much you can do as a parent since they are no longer children and dont require parent consent for care. We asked if someone could come down and at least speak face to face because we had never gone through this. The nurse explained that she could not leave the station and we can always come back the next day during visiting. We did not get upset as you have to understand a policy is a policy. I gave it a shot and respectfully explained my mom's concern and asked if she could at least just see her face through a window and advised that she will not disturb or awaken her and she would only be a moment. The charge nurse agreed and we both were able to go up! We respectfully followed all procedures and were escorted to where she was In her room sleeping. Glancing around I was impressed that the floor was very secure but it didn't give that prison security feeling. It was pretty clean and didn't have an extreme hospital feel to it. It looks as if most of the rooms have 2 beds. We traveled a short distance and then there she was! Even though we were there for just a minute it felt like a huge weight was lifted off our shoulders and even though she didn't see us we were there together spiritually. Upon leaving we thanked the staff and stopped to personally thank the charge nurse. She then explained about the 4 digit code and answered my mom's other questions and then we left. I know this was a long read but hopefully this helped or was comforting to someone who is on the same journey we are. As we continue on I will post updates regarding our experiences and adjust the rating as needed. A BIG THANK YOU! To the staff so far as first impressions can tell you alot about what you'll have to deal with. We definitely hope this continues so we can have a strong foundation for our loved one. God Bless!

I've been an employee of Fremont Hospital over 15 years and if I didn't believe in Fremont Hospital and what we offer, I wouldn't have stayed this long. Our inpatient services for adolescents, adults and the geriatric population as well as our outpatient services for adolescents and adults are among the best in the Bay Area. We have an incredibly diverse staff whose main priority is the well being of our patients.

Caring staff. Adequate food. Your loved one will be safe here.

Ok I should probably take my face off Google before I say this (lol), but I've been 5 different hospitals and this is probably the best one I've been too.... the staff were accommodating, unlike other hospitals, and I really appreciated the off unit access, which one hospital didn't offer. The cafeteria had this delicious passionfruit juice as well. I was on the adolescent unit and I definitely appreciated how they let us use chalk on the walls. The groups were helpful as well. Look, this is a psych ward and not a 5 star hotel, and for what they're allowed to do, I think they're fair.

Reasons treatment philosophy emphasizes on consistency and one-on-one treatment/patient relationship, which is very helpful. This is THE PLACE our love one made biggest leap forward on her recovery. I highly recommend anyone looking for treatment facility come and see this clinic.

I was sent here and the staff was super nice especially the late night staff. They helped me when I was down and in a very dark state and they helped me get through it I appreciate it Fremont Hospital.🙂

I have recently begun working here and found the staff to be an amazingly diverse group, and welcoming to me. The Eating Disorders Center is beautiful and teens will feel at home addressing their illness. I think with its new leadership, this hospital will be a jewel for families seeking help to stabilize their acute child or parent's struggle with mental illness or addiction.

I stayed at this hospital in the adolescent unit and the experience was amazing. I got out today and during my time here, I learned good coping skills for stress and depression and I was also able to express my feelings in different ways. My stay here overall was fantastic and it changed me and now I feel like a much stronger and confident person.
