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.

No bells and whistles diagnosis
Overall okay experience, I accomplished what I needed to (getting my ADHD formally diagnosed so I could start medication, my primary care provider was very suspicious I had it - she was right) and it was pretty painless (just a long appointment with lots of questionaires and such). He did have me buy a $20 planner which I have proceeded to never use, and found by myself using a free online to-do list works better for me, but maybe the planner works for some people? If you suspect you have ADHD and just need someone to put on paper that you have it so you can get treatment, this is a good easy option to get it over with so you can move on with your life.

Amazing ADHD treatment and therapy
David took me as a patient during a very difficult time in my life. He got me a spot-on diagnosis for ADHD and it has allowed me to excel in my professional and personal life. Very grateful I had him in my therapy journey.

Pride and ego seems to be cluttering practice
It’s a shame to see what demand does to an individual’s perception sometimes. In this case, David Grey, is in high demand. However, my feelings, are that his ego and and pride have grown substantially during this sector of demand. The problem I have been incurring is that I have hit Dr Greys ego and pride like a brick wall. And all of my emotions and feeling are too broken for view. What I mean by that is such, pride and ego reflects inferior energy onto the patients. This energy translates into a person becoming private and will prevent further sharing of personal information which could benefit the patient’s cares more than not. Because I feel as though I Did not feel comfortable. I was not able to show the doctor that my case actually might be much worse than he thinks. But because he made me feel like my feelings didn’t matter I did not share much. I pretty much felt like an imposter during my visits.

It was an awful experience. He made me so uncomfortable in just stopped sharing too much and then he told me he could tell I actually didn't want help. Hes right....i didn't want HIS help BC the experience was more harmful than anything.

I had my son evaluated by him 4 years ago and it was a terrible experience. His office smelled and was stuffed with plush animals and wird Christmas junk which the child was not allowed to touch- I didn’t want my son to touch anything there anyway because it was filthy. When all was said and done he was incapable of giving me the diagnosis - we had had a final talk where we went over findings and the letter where he wrote it down did not match- some different diagnosis. I called to get it corrected- took two weeks then I received letter - with again the wrong diagnosis- called again and received letter a week later- still not what had been discussed but close- it was enough to get my son the support he needed in school but such a terrible and off putting experience otherwise. If you want what’s best for your child please avoid this man!

I was very unhappy with Gray and will not be going back. His office was filthy. He acted as if he had no interest in trying to get to the bottom of why I was feeling the way that I am, which is surprising considering this is part of his job. He gave uncountable looks of contempt when I tried to explain to him my concerns and even tried to tell me I was answering my own questionnaire wrong. He told me being locked away in a pandemic is the reason I feel the way that I do even after telling him it had been a concern before it struck. He made me so uncomfortable and unwelcome I had to hold back tears in his office. I left worse than when I came in. DO NOT recommend. If you have mental health concerns go to somebody else for your own sake.

Everything I said to him, he would say well I guess I just don't understand. Everything I tried to explain to him he would say I guess I don't understand the point of this or the point of that. And the faces he made when I was speaking showed he cared little about what I had to say and why I was even there.. I didn't appreciate being mocked for my behaviors while I was there trying to get help. One appointment is all is took, I will not be returning to him.

This was the worst therapy experience i've ever had. He consistently interrupted me and talked over me. He told me that because "i'm so smart and successful" i have no reason to need therapy and he "doesn't understand why i feel this way" and that my trauma, because it wasn't physical assault, was manipulation and not really trauma. I left his office sobbing.

If I could give no stars i would. This man told me when I was a young child, that I had no right or reason to believe the things I did about my mother, which she inevitable admitted were true years later. This man made me feel smaller and insignificant than i did walking into his office. I wish his care on no one. Horrible therapist, and even worse person.
