Perma keeps blocking me or deleting my review so I finally created a website. Below is my most recent review. I’ll likely be adding to this website periodically with more evidence of potential wrongdoing at Perma.
Please do not come here for your mental health treatment. Please do not work here. Other providers are trying to leave but are scared because of how much Dr. Wills and Tim Hoekstra have tried to sue and silence me.
I was a previous provider here and they fired me without cause and without notice (they assumed I had broken my non-compete). When a provider is terminated suddenly, it can create abandonment issues which can be detrimental to mental health patients. There are accepted techniques to end a patient-provider relationship and in my opinion, Perma fell short of the mark. I am also not the only provider that PERMA has terminated without cause. This has happened before and will happen again unless someone speaks up.
After 5 staff members walked out without notice around June, Tim Hoekstra actually cried in a staff meeting asking why people would just leave without giving their two weeks notice. This is why Tim. This is why people don't give their notice. You make assumptions and you fire them. Employees see this behavior.
Perma also made me take my other review down because they said I couldn't possibly prove what I was saying. I said that I had 100's of pages of evidence and they thought that couldn't possibly be true. I've attached a photo of the stack of papers I have showing alleged wrongdoing on Perma's part. It looks like 100 pages to me and most of them are double sided. I admit that I didn't count.
I uploaded the email Tim Hoekstra sent to the call center the day after I was fired. He created a script for them to say when they called my patients and spreadsheet to document what they said. Towards the end, you can see that he says "You cant ask them this, but if they say anything write it down". In the future, I’ll post screenshots of what some of my patients had to say about this , lol. But yes, this was all about trying to figure out where I was planning on working. But wait, I thought you fired me because you knew I was breaking my noncompete? That’s what it said on the demand letter you sent me (see next section entitled Demand Letter).
Please go anywhere else.
