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.

Excellent Psych Doctor
Dr. Claxton was my psychiatrist when he was in Bldg 94 working with Outpatient Veterans and unfortunately, he was reassigned to inpatient care. I wish there is a way that I can contact him in reference to a medication he had prescribed for me!
