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.

At first I felt as though Dr. Kutcher wasn't really listening to me. After our second appointment though I realized he does listen and he was much more personable. He is now the best psychiatrist I have seen, both caring and intelligent. If you ask questions he will answer both scientifically and in layman's terms. He helped me push my primary for a referral and has been extremely helpful. Highly recommend him, do not be put off if he seems to cut you off at first.

If I could give negative stars for Dr. Kutcher, I would; I had a horrible experience with him. He was dismissive, condescending, and treated every answer I gave him as if it was the wrong one, moving on to the next question with an air of disdain. He also repeatedly asked for the same information, wasting time. I initially thought the problem lay with me, but 15 minutes into the hour-long evaluation it was clear that his communication style was the issue: totally off key, closed, & even harmful.
