I spent 2.5 week in July 2025, following 2 week in Wyong Public. What a difference the physios made me work at getting better rather then just watching me die. Wyong got mme better than BerkleyvValegot me home.

I have been an inpatient for over three months.
i want to start with my psychiatrist Glib Popov
Glib i give 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ to He has been the best psychiatrist I have ever seen. He is absolutely awesome and i couldn’t recommend him enough.
Glib has saved my life, He has saved my 2 Children from Having to grieve because their mother wasn’t alive,
he’s the most caring, understanding and professional psychiatrist I have ever seen Without a doubt, without the help from glib, I could guarantee I would not be here today. I would like to extend my deepest gratitude and appreciation to the nursing staff & my Psychologist Jo, The Nursing staff have been absolutely incredible to me each and everyone of them have been Caring professional and helpful.
Jo is an incredible human and i thank her so much for the time and effort she puts in daily into her work here at the hospital.
Thank you so much to each and everyone of you, you have made my journey here easier during some of the most darkest times of my life. Thank you so much for the work and effort you all put in daily.
I will forever be grateful. 🫶🏼

My son was interviewed by these cowboys and accepted. My wife drive from Sydney to the hospital on the day he was supposed to be admitted. When she got there they said his case was too complex for the hospital to handle. There must be better places than this in the private system.

Nurses are good to you, and good accommodation. However some doctor completely screwed up my discharge medication. And this happened when the very conversation I had with my visiting doctor completely contradicted with the discharge scripts. Can't say this helped with my mental health nor stress.

***IF I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS I WOULD….

I don’t know even where to start on this review. I’ve seen some reviews on other pages and I totally echo a lot of opinions. There are some nurses at Hospital that are absolute Angels and they’re nurses are absolute devils. One particular nurse constantly came into my room and said when’s your discharge date? I looked and said how would I know, this happened from two weeks into my stay which ended up in a three month stay so you could imagine how often she brought it up. Several times I asked about different treatment options as even my Psychiatrist said that I was treatment resistant but no I was continue to be chopped and changed with medication. With my stay, I ended up with migraines, two ear infections (2 courses of antibiotics) and thrush in my mouth, neither the doctors or nurses would look in my mouth till I just went down and said you need to look at my tongue. Two times I needed antibiotics for my ear infection , and when I had the thrush, I also needed something for that, each time I had to chase my medication up. I was especially frustrated when I had thrush as I was unable to eat or drink without pain, and when I’ve gone down to the desk to ask for the medication, they are all sitting their eating hot chips sandwiches. They said I was welcome to go up to the chemist and get it myself. The frustration I had was just unbelievable as I’ve gone all day, not knowing that I had to wait for a delivery that comes from The Entrance (why aren’t we support in the to local Chemist we have in Berkeley Vale) As for my discharge, I was absolutely blindsided as the last time I saw my psychiatrist he said it would be another 2 to 3 weeks and we would review. He did, however advise me that I would need to see another Psychiatrist just for the second opinion , wow, what an experience this was. Dr Suresh is an evil horrible man that shouldn’t be practising. He’s in the wrong job. From the moment I walked in, he made me feel uncomfortable. He tried to put words into my mouth and didn’t like it when I disagree. The arrogance and the brashness of him just shows that he’s in the wrong job. Even the acting NUM told me that he’s very harsh. I had a nurse present with me and I kept looking at her for HELP. She could see I wanted help from her. I felt that she was too scared of what she was allowed to say anything. In the end, I was crying and a shaking mess and I was no longer going to be subject to the berating and belittling of me. So I got up and left the room. This was on the Friday and surprise surprise I was discharged on the Tuesday my head was in a spin. I have no idea what time or how this happened, how I packed my stuff or even how got home, the next thing I actually remember he’s waking up in Gosford Hospital the following morning, I had taken an overdose of my tablets with 10 standard drinks, it shows that the Hospital has not done really good job with me over the 12 weeks. Not a care in the world I could be dead, and they didn’t even realise or care….

I wouldn’t recommend this hospital to my worst enemy.

Would never recommend anyone in actual fact, I’m going to be approaching the local MP and mental health minister?

Needed to see a psychiatrist re suspected ADHD and was super hesitant to give over a hefty amount of cash for a gamble of an app with no guarantee. But I’m so happy I did! I saw dr Glib Popov at Berkeley vale private hospital and he was so kind & patient and alleviated all my anxieties. He was thorough and super understanding and made me feel like I had a say in my care and not just receiving whatever. Personable and a great communicator - I was actually super happy to hand over the cash! Really excited and grateful to have him in my care team.
The receptionists were also lovely & super helpful as well!

Absolutely useless. Wait 6 months for an appointment then get a message to say I need to wait another 3 months. I called back to see if anything could be done and was told that I would be called back asap. A week later I call again and was told oh yeah we are just waiting to talk to the doctor. Now going on 3 weeks so I call again. I spoke to the team leader and wow talk about the blame game. They all need to understand they work at a mental health facility and not the hair salon. Disgusting service. Would not recommend dealing with them. The wait time I understand but the complete lack of empathy is appalling when dealing with people like them. My anxiety is next level just dealing with these people. You get 1 star for answering the phone. Congratulations!!!!

RAMSEY PART 2
After being referred to SMOPS my Psychiatric Nurse visited me at home and stated I was 'too on the ball for their service'. I did what she suggested. I Studied Mental Health - loved learning. I researched Cannabidiol for Mental Health. Went on the Trial in 4/2021. My Mental Health is very well controlled now. I have learnt how to manage the reactions of my mental health, the feelings of despair, the triggers that bring out these episodes. I know I will always have these conditions but I am in control of the outcome. At times when I felt I would have been safer with a stay in Berkley Vale, I knew I could not go back after Dr C's dressing down. I would like to have a backup place. But after eleven facilities during the space of my lifetime, this is not one that I would feel totally comfortable in again.
