Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great prescriber!
I visited him a long time back he only discontinued my Topamax and I had to accept that till I left him because I was so mad at him for doing that to me! He did mean well to me, I was only meant to be prescribed 100mg in the morning and again 100mg at bedtime He also prescribed me 60mg of Ziprizadone I refused to take it so he dropped the dose back down to 40 mg in the morning and again 40 mg at night. Now I took that for too long now Abilify 10mg is what I want to try at the 10mg dose and nothing higher than that! I did take Abilify before at 15 then 30 and couldn't tolerate those doses, Dr. Julie Forrest was my then prescriber!
