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.

Ever since Dr. Thrower prescribed me medication for my anxiety and depression, it has made a big difference. I have a better outlook on life thanks to her!

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Thrower?
Consistently disregarded my needs, like lowering a dosage of a medication without my knowledge or consent. Worse still what was prescribed as a PRN should NOT have been called a PRN at all. I'm bipolar & was informed, after nearly being committed for hypomania/mania, that benzodiazepines can actually help with mania as well. She told me it was a PRN for anxiety so I stopped taking it since I wasn't feeling anxious. I begged for a new sleep aid one day and since I was late she refused.
