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.

Incompetent Dr. Truschel per NW Human Serv. POLICY
I'm a retired Correctional Fire Captain_Peace Officer, patented inventor, TV Show Host, author, etc., and I have years of service as a PTSD Critical Incident Stress Debriefing counselor. I selected NW Human Services, Inc. as my Primary Care Provider for Medical, Dental, and Mental Health per contract with BlueShield_BlueCross to diagnose, triage, and treat my needs accordingly. Due to my alleged 'psychotherapist' repeatedly providing zero coping skills, I terminated all future sessions as 100% unnecessary. However, the next week, I experienced an incredibly traumatic life event. Yet when I contacted NW Human Serv., Dr. Trucshel established POLICY SUBJECTS ALL patients who self-TERMINATE 26 sessions_yr. at $300_ea. at a LOSS OF $7,800_yr. INCOME IS MANDATED TO A 90-DAY ZERO TX PUNISHMENT PERIOD in that ALL Health INTERVENTION REQUESTS ARE REJECTED IN DIRECT BREACH OF CONTRACT OF ANY INSURANCE CARRIER! The Director diverted all Treatment requests to a $400_hr ATTORNEY!

Dr. Truschel is the most easiest medical professional to talk to that I have ever seen. He always listens and takes his time explaining himself and what he is thinking. Best of all for me I saw him about two years ago to start some mental health meds. About six months ago I saw him again for an adjustment. Before the appointment he took the time to read his notes to not waste time. He knew from the first visit why I had my breakdown. I really liked that I didn’t have to tell the story again.
