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.

Skilled doctor, beautiful person
I love Dr Javellana and am so grateful for the years she compassionately treated me and helped me grow. I had to move out of state and haven’t found anyone who listens and gives me options for treatment like she did.

Never again
When I first met with her almost 5 months ago, she acknowledged that I had post traumatic stress disorder. I’ve been going through her for TMS for the past 2 months. When I told her I still experienced depression and felt like I always would to some extent, she fired back saying that I was choosing to be depressed, that I refused to let go of it. This coming from the same person who just months earlier acknowledged I suffered from post traumatic stress disorder. She told me it was good that I had mentioned it, that with it being documented that I was still experiencing depression, that I would never be eligible to try TMS at any point down the road. As it shows in three other reviews, she was extremely uncaring and judgmental. It was the first time in 27 years of being in therapy, that I had ever came out of a session feeling completely hopeless and worthless

Dr Javellana has been my psychiatrist for 19 years. She has seen me at my best and at my worst. I can honestly say that without her help, guidance and care, I would not be here today. I love what she and her practice have done for me and my life. I am grateful everyday that our paths crossed.

She is very judge mental. Will fire you after years of being with. My daughter has been hospitalized for sucide attempt 3 months ago. She was unwilling to give medication until we can find someone. I would suggest finding a someone else and not even consider her. We should have found someone else to to help my daughter's sooner!
