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.

Has the nerve to charge $300 each 45min session, but spends more than half of each session talking about himself and/or playing his guitar. He uses patients as if they’re his guinea pigs, prescribing a plethora of psychotropic medications (most of which are addictive) simultaneously without any thought of the possible negative contradictions.

Dr. Brand is a nice guy, but that is about it. He is difficult to reach, and takes too much time getting back to clients. He accepts personal calls during sessions, and is prone to giving speeches
