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.

Cares a whole lot about his patients. Has a lot of passion and curiosity. Dr. Fordham’s style may not be for everyone, but for what other psychiatrists lack he more than makes up for any question of duty. I think it’s a bit of blessing in plain sight that he works at this hospital. Kudos to him and his staff. It is not an easy assignment. He’s as human as anyone you’ll meet. Wish him the best!

Dr. Forham easily the worst one have have seen. He does not treat his "mentally ill" patients as human being, spends having a good time with his body doctors all day long in the hospital. He should not be allowed to work in John George. He is a bad human being.
