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.

I see him for anxiety issues..today when I went in I was feeling “ok” when I got there. I was shaking my foot and chewing gum (I do this out of anxiousness) and he mocked me by over dramatically imitating me and told me I looked uncomfortable. Well yeah, I am uncomfortable every freaking day in my own skin. He’s a psychiatrist and instead of making me feel ok about myself I left there in tears upset for the rest of the day. Don’t recommend if you’re sensitive.

With all due respect It's time to retire when your only advice is to eat well, exercise, and have a schedule. He left me in a horrible place with no referral after a 4 month wait to get into see you. Nothing he said made a lick of sense and he refused to see me again because i didn't take my drug addiction serious. I told him i smoked part of a joint a week ago....He was noticeably distracted and wasted the first half of the visit asking me questions that I had already answered.
