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.

Dr. Billings was my husband and my doctor for over 18 years until we moved out of state. He was the best listener ever!!! He was fantastic dealing with our individual psych problems. I would highly recommend this gentleman. Thank God for his patience and understanding of each of our illnesses.

Dr B is compassionate, warm, kind, patient oriented up-to-date on the latest medications. He’s brilliant, easy to talk to, non-judgemental. I’ve been with him for over 5 years and I’ll never change. I love him he’s the best.

Staff was incompetent, rude, argumentative and contradicted what Dr. Billings had said to me. This has occured on more than one occasion. Will consider going somewhere else.
