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.

She was very condescending and treated me like a child, though I am an adult and am self-referred. She constantly interrupted me and did not allow me to finish my sentences. She compromised my sense of agency and autonomy by suggesting she knew my limits better than I know them. She was so bold as to suggest that perhaps I had selected the wrong career given that I have recently been diagnosed with PTSD. Overall, a very discouraging, shaming encounter. Utterly lacking in empathy

Dr. Childers changed my life for the better, starting many years ago. I suffered from anxiety and PTSD, which she finally gave a name to (and treatment for). If you're fortunate enough to see this brilliant, compassionate doctor, just be honest. She's the very best there is.

I had an appointment at 10am and Dr. Childers wasn't even in the building until 10:20am. When I finally met with her, she had low professionalism and spoke to me condescendingly. After about 10 minutes of being in a session with her, her phone rang and she answered it. She proceeded to talk on the phone for about 3-5 minutes before hanging up and continuing to speak at me. She did not apologize or excuse herself. Her phone call was also not an emergency where she needed to answer.
