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.

Terrible. I agree with the majority of these reviews. It is clearly about money and medicine to him rather than the well-being of a patient. He is intimidating, uncomfortable to talk to, cold, demeaning, and literally told me to just answer the questions because he has other patients to see. I do not recommend this doctor for anyone’s psychiatric needs.
