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.

A Session with him would only last 10 minutes. He prescribed Abilify for me that left me with tardive dyskinesia. A permanent side effect. I'm ashamed to go in public because the effect is so disfiguring.

He is the worse ever. He never explains why he is cutting your meds. He drastically cut med1/2 & cold turkey at same off of an amphetamine. I was spiraling so fast downward by the third day I was literally dying mentally; reached out to him I'm getting worse & he would not see me or change my meds. I have been to the ER 2x's this week he made no changes in my meds. Ignores my notes for HELP that my mind won't shut off & no sleep!! NEVER RECOMMEND HIM!!

Dr. is very compassionate and understanding. He spends extra time with me when he sees I am in distress. I like going to hm because he cares.He explains things thoroughly so that I understand what he is saying.

He never participates in sessions with patients. A patient only sees nurse practitioners, nurses, and others. This may be because of administration. I wouldn't know him if i saw him and I've been going there for almost 4 years. Beginning in 2016 this department isn't working with patients on payment plans. Pay now or no treatment. An office visit can run from $87 to over $140. Maybe more. Terrible for a Non-Profit entity. That may be due to administration as well.
