Yes, I have heard it is wonderful. I went to a psychiatrist by the name of Roger Robinson and he recommended it for children 18 and younger..

Our daughter and our family are indebted to the Stepping Stones program. Their approach to eating disorders is from a holistic approach.
Their team of experts are not a disconnected bunch of docs, but rather a closely knit team. You don't have to repeat information to them. They know where your kid is in terms of recovery and they actually talk and confer with each other.
I can personally vouch for this program and the fact that they actually care.
Children's had a program at one time, but be careful, because they tend to insist on a hospital stay.
Presby is okay for adults, but they will mix adolescents with adults...which is something we didn't want for our daughter.
