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.

non-legal practices
Violated HIPAA and gave information to employer without consent to have me terminated. Speaking of non-legal, i'd question his citizenship status in the US right now.

The most arrogant unprofessional physician I have ever encountered and I was not the patient. He changes medications without obtaining any previous history and refused to speak to legal guardian and out patient doctors. I requested to speak with him regarding my family members care and medications prescribed and was met with him making an unwarranted report to adult protective services. Don’t walk away run as fast as you can.

Horrible bedside manner. I've never been treated so poorly by a doctor, let alone someone I'm entrusting with my psychiatric care. He was rude. He also misread the notes from my chart and kept insisting I was a drug addict. He would not consider my concerns about did effects of meds. He told me suicidal thoughts are not a side effect of antidepressants and if he threw holy water on me I would complain of side effects. Arrogant. Did not return. I left feeling worse than when I came in.

He has a horrible bed side manner and is very aggressive towards anyone that asks about the medications they might be on. He flat out told me that I had no choice in what medicines I put into my body. Also, he cut me up verbally and asked for my trust yet turned around and instead of listening to my answers talked on his phone. Highly unprofessional. I wouldn't take my sick goldfish to this monster.
