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.

Stuffy
I attended a processing group with Dr. Ronningstam. She was rather stuffy and not very personable. She was chronically late for her own groups, albeit seemingly apologetic. As is typical in group therapy, there were a whole host of issues discussed each session with feedback from the other participants. Most had personality disorders and were reluctant to engage in therapy. I did not find the groups particularly helpful or insightful as her background is in psychoanalysis.

Rotten personality. I kept thinking her name was "Rottingbloom." She is entirely condescending. Don't let the smiling picture fool you; at no time did the woman smile, not once. I asked her to leave me a message confirming that we had an appointment. It was like I asked her to cement my foundation. I do not see how people like this set any standards for therapy.
