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.

He gave me an incorrect diagnosis of bipolar AND THEN GAVE ME ANTIDEPRESSANTS. To my knowledge people who actually have bipolar go manic if they get SSRIs so this is extremely irresponsible. I found this out AFTER I took the first dose. I didn’t go back to him after that mess and to top it all off when I went to a different psychiatrist he said that I show NO signs of bipolar and I have absolutely NO memory of ever being manic before. So not only does he not listen and make an accurate diagnosis of symptoms, he prescribes pills that are dangerous and can interact. Don’t go here.

Is hard to understand and doesn’t listen
Telehealth
He made my daughter very uncomfortable, he didn’t try to talk to us and he acted like he knew everything. I tried to explain the meds we have tried and that didn’t work, he didn’t listen and still prescribed the one med. I couldn’t understand most of what he was saying. Please go somewhere else if you value your mental and physical health.

He doesn’t care about your health and gives medication I’ve already told him numerous times doesn’t work for me.

He is unable to speak English
He sits there and barely says anything to you and when he does you can barely understand what he’s trying to say. He doesn’t listen either. Go anywhere else.
