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.

There are not enough words to express how Dr. Dunn literally saved my life. She listened to my life story and began her care. She was dedicated to helping me and getting me through my struggles. Without her, I don’t know where I would be today. She is a wonderful provider.

Dr. Dunn is one of the most knowledgeable, intentional and caring doctors I have ever met. I can easily say that she saved my life when I had a mental health crisis in college. She is one of a kind and cannot be replaced. She is an excellent communicator and is thoughtful.

This is a sincere and heartfelt review of Dr. Dunn I wanted to share. She literally saved my daughter's life and I have entrusted her with my most prize possession. She has been a true lifesaver and we cannot say enough wonderful things about her. I have been seeing her for an unrelated problem and at 63 years of age, with her help, I have been able--finally in my life to get healthy. She is a genuine, warm and compassionate doctor; an excellent diagnostician; and true scientist in providing background data for us to make informed decisions. I have seen psychiatrists since 1984... in one year, she has brought me further along than I have ever come. Love her...trust her...and recommend her.

Dr. Dunn cared about my well-being and comfortability with my medication regiment from the very start, and continued following up as well as I would expect any doctor to do so.
