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.

Absolutely the best
I have been very fortunate that Dr Smith has been my psychiatrist 25+ years. He is compassionate, caring, empathetic, and very knowledgeable. I feel like we are a good team and that he listens fully to my concerns and doesn't override them. Clear discussions, without jargon, about treatment options. 100% accessible on phone and patient gateway.

I can’t say enough about Dr. Smith. He really cares and makes it easy to express anything that is on ones mind. He also doesn’t sugar coat and doesn’t prescribe just to sell pharma. In my opinion he is the best in the area and anyone lucky to have him has absolutely won the lottery. Wonderful Dr. that shares insightful and holistic views and has a very deep sense of empathy.
