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.

He's the worst psychiatrist that I'v ever seen. For the first appointment, he told me that I will never get well and my psychological health will continue to decline. Plus, he told me that I will have to take medicines for rest of my life. What kind of doctor tells their patient that they will never recover!

I told the Doc I was having seizures and badly needed to get an MRI. He prescribed one for me, but when Fresno Medical Imaging called to confirm the appointment, his office DENIED me the MRI. They would not authorize it. I tried multiple times to have my brain scanned. I have the paperwork confirming this. I feel scammed and pushed out by this horrid organization. The man is basically a scam artist, pretending to be multiple kinds of doctors. Go elsewhere. It could save your life.
