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.

Kind, caring doctor
I’ve been seeing Dr. Liston for many years. He is a compassionate doctor who listens to concerns, and provides information in order to make an informed decision on medications and a path forward. Highly recommend for these reasons and more.

Non-Compassionate, Uncaring, forgetful, far behind the cutting edge in his field.

Dr. Liston is an amazing and extremely caring physician. Took time to listen, tried to help me and fought ferociously for me. Although I am better, need to work at it every day! Medications just didn’t work for me! Today I read an article: INVERSE: Why scientists are rethinking the most effective way to treat depression. So happy to know it wasn’t me. Thank God for scientists who love research and want to make a difference for fellow mankind! It’s been about 9 years since I was under Dr Liston’s care, and I can’t thank him enough for how much he made a difference and helped me to continue to live my life!

He is absolutely horrible dr! He should have NOT accepted a case with Deaf Patients who’s tied up by Horrible Video Relay Interpreters provided by the Holy Cross Hospital! Dr. Liston did NOT ask those questions at all, he is definitely making things up! He does not understand Deaf Culture ‘s body movement! Dr Liston is NOT an Qulified dr to evaluate ANY deaf patients!

Dr Liston is a credit to his field and I'm extremely happy to have entrusted my care to him. He is attentive, analytical, ethical and compassionate. His expertise and calm manner make him an excellent psychiatrist. His assistant, Alba, is always responsive and pleasant to deal with; it's a very smoothly run practice.

My experience with this doctor is not as a patient but as a former caregiver. I am angered by receiving a bill 5 yrs after a hospital visit and almost a year after the patient has died. And when I call the office, I am speaking with a call center in India. Extremely bad business practice.

This is the worst Psychiatrist I have ever had. after I went to him for depression, anxiety with panic attacks. I have been with him for 2 yrs. He never once asked me questions about how I feel, or questions as to how effective my medication is. He didn't seem like he cared about me, rushed me out. After I mentioned that I was dissatisfied with him to his receptionist he dumped me. He left me with no way to get my medications, Cymbalta I have taken for 10yrs, was unavailable to me.

This physician is GARBAGE. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to him. He is outdated in his practices and is uninterested in your concerns, nor does he even pretend to be interested. There is no trust developed at all, and he didn’t seem interested in developing trust from the start. I am unsure whether this was due to cultural or racial differences, but I feel this is the reason. Terrible physician, and rude staff.

Dr Liston is the second psychiatrist that I have seen for my recent, very sudden onset of panic attacks, anxiety, & agoraphobia. Dr Liston actually listened to what I was experiencing & he seemed to actually understand my immense fear of medications. He took the time to explain, in detail the medication and answered all my questions (no matter how trivial). He is great at what he does, and has a great staff too!

I have been under Dr. Liston's care for years for severe depression. He is a wonderful doctor and human being. I recently noticed that he's been listed in the Top Doctors for Gold Coast magazine for two years in a row 2015-2016. No wonder he's so great, I guess others take notice too! His staff is also very kind and accommodating. It's hard to believe he doesn't have more positive reviews, because all of my experiences have been nothing but excellent. Long story short=HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Dr Liston was my attending doctor when I was rushed to the Clevland clinic many years ago. I had taken 2 pills that sent me into a terrible state and he automatically labeled me as suicide watch patient! REALLY? He was the worst..... You can't label people.. He never had even met me and labeled me as a suicide! Terrible!
