I enjoyed my stay. The food was fantastic and the staff are exceptional. They show you that they care. The social activities are very useful tools that can definitely be applied to the very real-world situations that challenge our stability and mental health. I want to thank the amazing staff at BryLin for helping me learn how to adapt, change, and cope with everyday life. Thank you for all that you do!

Wonderful experience under difficult circumstances. Kind compassionate staff from from check in through discharge. Everyone worked together as a team to provide excellent care.

Yvonne M.

The doctors and nurses are amazing the hospital is clean. Instead of laying in bed or sitting in front of a TV all day, they have groups like meditation, art therapy, pet therapy and other things that teach you how to manage your mental health issues.

They also offer ECT therapy which is helping me way more than taking medicine alone. I am truly grateful for BryLin and the people who work there really have helped me get my life back.

BryLin Hospital Top Notch in Buffalo

This inpatient Mental Health facility is the best in Buffalo. They have groups, you’re not just sitting around all day watching the clock slowly tick tock. Staff is always available and courteous.

Cathy R.

The staff was gracious and understanding. They let me build my own visiting hours based on my son’s ability to converse. The social worker was so patient with us. Dr. Martin was also fabulous. They were willing to work with us as a team. My son had healed and is living his life again ! Thank you for your part in this process!

After going through 8 long months of the worst depression you can imagine, my mother started outpatient ECT treatments with Dr. Gupta.

After her very first treatment she started feeling better and each consecutive treatment since has left her feeling amazing and able to function better than she was prior to these last 8 months.

I cannot thank Dr. Gupta and the amazing ECT staff at BryLin enough for bringing my mother back to a life she wants to live. Everyone we’ve been in contact with at BryLin has been nothing but kind and supportive and we highly recommend this facility.

Makenzie is an incredible asset to this place and I genuinely would not be as happy and as stable as I am if not for her love, passion and her knowledge. Thank you!

Yvonne was my caseworker and was excellent. Personable and someone you can relate to. She did a great job communicating with me and my husband. I also liked Dr. Ghosh. He was easy to talk to and really listened to me.

Seriously has the most amazing counselors, and psychiatrists. The counselors are your biggest cheerleaders, and are cheering you on every step of the way! 

Karley M.

I stayed at BryLin ( the adult section) for one week and it helped a huge deal. Everyday there was a schedule you could CHOOSE to follow. There was an exercise class after breakfast, art therapy, group therapy and games like bingo.

If I need that level of help, I will go to BryLin again.

Jennifer L.

Dr. Gupta and the staff at BryLin have been extremely kind and helpful to both my daughter and me in treating her depression. This disease can be very challenging and having the support provided by BryLin Hospital has helped greatly.

Krisan H.

I had Dr. martin and he was amazing I was inpatient for a little over a week and It really helped. The nurses and mental health techs were all amazing and I will never forget them.

Elsa M.

I was admitted to BryLin a few times on the adolescent unit. I’m 18 now but I would highly recommend BryLin for any adolescent that needs treatment.

The support and structure you will get there is 100x better than any other inpatient treatment around. Days are very structured, it is easy to see your doctor and therapist, there are lots of groups (including coping skills groups, DBT skills groups, art therapy groups etc) and there is at least one group a day.)

Dr. Martin is amazing and he doesn’t just care about getting you on all sorts of medications, like other doctors, he really values being able to listen to your feelings and he’s very knowledgeable.

The food is actually good and there are lots of options. There is also a nutritionist that can help you create a personalized meal plan if you have food allergies or an eating disorder.

Looking back, BryLin was helpful to me each time I went. Nobody wants to be in a hospital but they really do offer great support, amazing groups and those things have always helped me get back to a good mental state whenever I went. There hasn’t been one time where I went to BryLin and didn’t feel better.

Aimee P.

We are thrilled with the amazing progress our mother has made during her second stay at BryLin. With the change in medications, increased participation in sessions, ECT therapy and prayer her quality of life has significantly improved. It has truly been miraculous. 

Special thanks to Dr. Gupta (and staff) for extending themselves with their care and communication. Various nurses and aides provided comfort and support during her stay. 

With great appreciation 

Julie C.

The staff and services at BryLin are so helpful in getting patients “back to normal and healthy”. They were attentive to my needs and went above and beyond to support and assist me.  Highly recommend!

Everyone from the time I entered the building to the time I left was excellent. Staff was so very welcoming and supportive. I would highly recommend this facility and it’s associates.

Mary G.

My experience has been great. They don’t push medication on you and (they) have a diverse approach to therapy. This is the first time I have done group therapy and it really helps. I definitely recommend this facility.

Ryan B.

My family member was admitted to BryLin twice. She left each time with hope, having had much care. The staff is professional and courteous. The facilities are clean. The care is unparalleled.

David F.

After months of behavioral issues with Lyme disease, my son’s symptoms got so severe he had to be hospitalized. The staff was very gracious and kind to him and to us. I felt that we worked together as a team. Dr. Martin was amazing. He was willing to listen and learn from us. We appreciate everything this facility did to help with his recovery.

Jeremiah D. 

Everything was great. I was nervous to come here (BryLin Hospital) but would not second guess a chance at coming back should I need it in the future.

Some really wonderful nurses who are hard working, caring and genuine. My counselor always took the time to speak with me without any judgement.

Samantha P.

I appreciate all of the help & support over my stay here at BryLin. I got to do some soul searching & learn how to better myself and return to the person I used to be. A special thank you to many of the staff! I hope to see you out and about. If I ever need help again, I know where to go. Thanks to all!

C.B.

The staff was very helpful and very patient with me. They have really good food.

Cindy

I have been hospitalized for medical reasons more times that I can count (never for my mental health) and the nursing staff here is the best Ive ever encountered. Especially nurse Jen. If I could do anything that recognizes her work I would. The amount of love for the patients shines through so brightly. She is an angel. She made me feel loved and cared for in a wayno other nurse ever has.

BryLin Hospitals had been a partner with the Sweet Home Family Support Center for over ten years. BryLin staff have been a tremendous source of support and information for our students and families. The willingness of the inpatient and outpatient treatment staff to work collaboratively with schools for the heath and well being of our students has been so beneficial.

Anne Nowak, MS,LMHC

Sweet Home Schools, Family Support Center

The private psychiatric inpatient setting at BryLin Hospital provides for a more immediate, safe and professional atmosphere where there is an opportunity to allow for continuity of care that assures my patients will receive the appropriate and necessary psychiatric intervention that is required for discharge back into the private practice setting for continued stabilization and optimal outcome. With seamless transition there is less chance for further relapse and decompensation, and an opportunity for Psychiatric Providers to better manage the treatment of their patients for optimal well being.

Jenny T Bagen, MS, PMHNP-BC

It is reassuring to have a facility like BryLin in our community to provide the therapeutic environment needed when our clients are in crisis. Fortunately, we have had a positive working relationship with their staff, both in preparing for hospitalization and after discharge.
