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 was seeing a well known psychiatrist at Tulane who was interested in testifying in legal proceedings and forgot about his patients. I was fortunate enough to have my regular doctor know someone at LSU who was able to get me in to see Dr. Townsend. He made a few changes to the medications I was taking and asked me to give it a couple of weeks. Two weeks later I saw him for a follow up and I felt like a new person. This psychiatrist knows what he is doing and puts his patients first.
