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.

Understanding
I saw Dr. Predo for a psych evaluation in preparation for a kidney donation. He was very thorough and thoughtful. He restated my responses to confirm understanding. He made it comfortable to correct his misunderstandings & restate my responses to be more accurate.

My husband has been seen by Dr. Preda since 2016. We are very happy with his involvement. He is kind, patient, understanding and very insightful. Our visits are carefully navigated, as he explores the many possibilities of root causes of the latest challenge that my husband is facing. Thankfully Dr. Preda is young and healthy and will be with us throughout the duration of my husbands illness. I cannot say enough good things about our time with him and his team.

Unfortunately, I have to leave a bad review about Dr. Preda. It looks like he wasn't in the same room as I and didn't pay attention, didn't listen to what I was explaining. My experience with him was atrocious and disappointing.

Dr. adrien preda is a Awesome psychiatrist. He listen to me when we were deciding to keep one on my psychiatric medications the same or to lower it. He answered my question about what would happen if we lowered it also. In my opinion he tries not to force you into anything it’s a collaboration between you and him.

I found that Dr Preda shows true compassion and relatability. I enjoyed his humor and down to earth counseling. He is brilliant and I truly felt that he heard and understood what I was saying to him. He was patient and conservative in prescribing medication and willing to look outside of the box to get results. I would recommend him 100%!

Dr. Preda saved my life. I've never had a doctor spend so much time carefully evaluating my psychiatric medical history. Not only did he take the time to really get to know my illnesses, he was able to correctly and conservatively prescribe medication that eventually completely stabilized me. I am happier and healthier than I've been in years and I am so grateful to Dr. Preda. He is truly the kindest and most thorough practitioner I've ever had. My diagnoses: Bipolar 2, ADD, PTSD.

I had been suffering chronic pain in my eyes for a year and a half when I had a mental breakdown in July of 2017. My whole body was burning with pain. . Dr. Preda adjusted the dose on my anti-depressant that I had just started under my primary doctor and changed other medications. He also provided me with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My symptoms improved and step by step I returned to functioning in my everyday life and in fact I am doing better than ever. He is intelligent and compassionate

Dr. Preda is kind and non-judgemental. He has been helping me with my PTSD for about 5 months and I think he has found the right combination and dosage of medications for me. He helped me with paperwork as well and worked cooperatively with my therapist to provide the best and most holistic healing.

Dr. Preda is the best Psychiatrist that I have been to!! I believe visits for psychiatric patients can be a very vulnerable and difficult time. Finding the right "Doctor" is not an easy experience, I am sure all patients would agree! Establishing a relationship is one thing, but feeling that someone understands, cares and genuinely wants to spend the time to assist in jointly researching what one may be facing, well that is a very unique event. I have been blessed with that kind of experience!
