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.

After years of trying to find help we found Dr Raju. This a serious mental illness and he saved a life. We have been with him for 19 years. He is special.

It's been a week since I almost died, from serotonin syndrome/toxicity (please look it up, it's a thing, and fortunately, I can live to educate others of what I learned from just experience) , and it's been a week since I informed OPA of it, via voicemail (no one answered the phone) and also via email. Requested a stat appt to discuss changing my medication prior to the weekend since I had this reaction, (and it's never good to just go off medication) I'll have you know...I did receive an email back at 5:40 pm that the provider ( Esther Ofokansi ) was informed and would call me no later than the next day. I have yet to hear from her. I had nothing but good things to say about her prior to this event, but the fact that she never reached out to try and get the medication safely under control is extremely concerning to me. I have no faith in this practice, or providers due to that. If you just need medication then you should be fine, but if trust and faith in your provider and practice is
