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.

Very knowledgeable helpful and kind lady! Would highly recommend.

Horrible! She was not at all caring about my anxiety. She just wanted to throw me antidepressants, which I explained to her I have already tried and they have not worked. She refused to give any other kind of meds. She lied saying the only choices to treat anxiety are antidepressants, therapy, or check myself into the mental hospital! I begged to just get a week of sedatives or tranquilizers and then meet back with her to show my progress but she refused. She had nothing else to offer me. So sad this woman took the Hippocratic Oath- apparently she doesn't know what it stands for.
