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.

My horrendous hospital experience
I’m my opinion, Sam Hand is an unskilled psychiatrist who sat in judgment of me every time we met. He is arrogant and I always felt like he was talking down to me rather than providing any, even vaguely helpful therapy. Being depressed, I had lost my appetite and consequently lost weight. He told me that he wouldn’t release me from the hospital until I had gained 50 pounds! I had to force so much food down because if I didn’t I was threatened to have a feeding tube put in me. He insisted that I was suicidal, despite my trying to tell him I’d never do something so selfish as to hurt my children. Even my husband didn’t agree with this assessment he made. I wouldn’t wish this “doctor?” on my worst enemy.
