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.

Released too early with improper medication dosage
Impatient, doesn't listen, wants to move through 'rounds' as quickly as possible. Released my sibling way too early, with inappropriate medications, which now have to be re-prescribed through treating psychiatrist. Shame on Northwestern. We expected better treatment, with and educated and caring provider.

Just...no!!!
Doesn't even deserve 1 star!!! Don't understand why this guy chose to be a dr...he has 0 people skills. Blunt, cold, just wants to push drugs and move on to the next #, because that's how he treats people. Prescribed a nicotine patch, sleep meds, and I have no need for either, yet did not assist in getting me already prescribed meds I was on before going in the hospital?! When I questioned his approach, he said if I didn't like it, I could leave?! How is that helping me? Horrid side effects, he didn't care. He speaks AT you, and when you respond, he looks at you like you're crazy. This did not just happen to me, I witnessed it with others. He is so conceited. He made my depression and anxiety 100x worse. Begged to switch doctors, and wouldn't let me!

He keeps patients much, much longer than they need to be kept. Some have had to get second opinions in order to be released. He has given reasons like "we can't release patients if they're homeless," but it seems to have more to do with medicaid billing.
