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.

Best psych i've ever had

Exceptionally caring. Gave me more time and specificity than any previous psychiatrist. Not the fastest typer but who cares. Kind and compassionate man. Looking forward to future care with him.

Dr. Blustein was very unprofessional. Everything was going absolutely fine for a few months until he decided to pry into my personal life and contact my significant other at the time. During this time, my now ex girlfriend were in a bad place relationship wise so she took it upon herself to claim that I am some type of extreme drug addict out of spite. Blustein did not attempt to get a second opinion from someone else and did not even give me a chance to talk, before belittling me and treating me like some low life drug addict.... He immediately cut me off of my anxiety medication and as a result of that, I ended up in the hospital due to seizures from withdrawal. Stay far away from this so called *doctor".
