This place is a total and absolute SCAM. The man who owns this place is a CRIMINAL who has spent time in prison for fraud and money laundering. He goes by the name Larry Burns, but his actual name is LAWRENCE BURZYNSKI (FBI Number 189372M7). I was an inpatient client there for two months (December 2014 to January 2015). To make a long story short, I went there for intense therapeutic support, which they promised, and left with NOTHING. They charged me $9,000 for the program upfront, and promised that the rest was covered by my insurance. After spending weeks and weeks there with little to no access to actual therapists, I went home, and six months later they send me a bill for $34,000! The only explanation was "Oops, the insurance company didn't cover the rest," which they promised me upfront that it would. I was left with no choice, but to file BANKRUPTCY FOR MEDICAL FRAUD. Lawrence Burzynski is the scum of the earth and treats his clients like shit. I could go on for pages and pages, but I'll just finish by leaving a genuine warning from my heart. DO NOT ENROLL IN ANY OF THE CROSBY CENTER PROGRAMS! THEY ARE DISHONEST PEOPLE WHO WILL GIVE YOU NOTHING AND TRY TO EXTORT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FROM YOU FOR IT. I wish I'd had an honest review to read before I went there. My goal in writing this post is to save any future clients who show interest in this program from having to go through the terrible ordeal that I went through. Steer clear of this place. They are so many programs out there who actually provide real, healing therapeutic support to their clients. I hope you reconsider this place and go somewhere else. You deserve all the love, help, and healing in the world as you face your challenges. Please look out for yourself and find an alternate program. YOU deserve all the best that life can offer. Sending positive energy to you as you begin your pathway to healing.
