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.

Dr. Melvin has saved my life, literally. He’s the first psychiatrist I’ve had in 20 years who really worked with me to help treat my illnesses. He very much cares about his patients. I have severe PTSD and I hardly trust anyone because of it. Well, I’ve seen Dr Melvin for 5 years. I trust him implicitly. I think he’s one of the most compassionate doctors I’ve ever met. If not for him, I wouldn’t be alive. I 110% recommend him.

We saw Dr. Melvin during a stay at Cabell Huntington Hospital while my child was in crisis. His personality was caustic, if I am being kind about it. He is a poor listener and is more intent on being "right" than he is seeking a proper diagnosis. Moreover, he grossly misrepresented what acute, in-patient psychiatric care entails. This misrepresentation set my child's healing process back considerably. He has no business dealing with people at all, much less those in poor psychiatric health.
