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 psychiatrist I have worked with.
I had the honor to work with Dr Allison for many years at Marin Medical Center. He is highly skilled and most importantly always available to meet his patients needs at anytime with patience and grace. He works tirelessly and creatively to help problem solve the most difficult of situations. Scott RN

Exceptional Psychiatrist
Dr. Allison thinks outside the box. Under his care my sister was diagnosed with Catatonia, a very rear condition, that has been overlooked or missed by many of the Psychiatrists and doctors she has seen over the past 5 years. It was under his care my sister was brought out of Catatonia using an innovative method that every doctor she has seen never thought to try. He actually takes a personal interest in his patients, almost like a challenge, to get them on the road to recovery. My entire family thanks you Dr. Allision for not giving up on Sharon. Your hard work, perseverance and out of the box thinking possible saved her live. Keep up the excellent work.

The single worst psychiatrist I have ever been too. He has no faith in his patients and is a poor judge when it comes to diagnosis. He is overall weak in communication skills namely listening and responding. He is disrespectful to his patients and pressures them to sign documents that do not pertain to the patients cause for admittance. I hope you do not have the misfortune of falling under this physicians care.
