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.

He is unreliable and at my last appointment, after I been criminally assaulted he didn't have the time to even listen. Instead, I had to listen to his financial word. His very reliable receptionist has left the practice as the doctor failed to pay her salary.

He is a great doctor that just by talking to him he can see things you are struggling with and when you explain the symptoms your having or the things you are feeling...he knows right away what you need to be prescribed and sometimes it takes a few appointments to get the dosages just right but that's because he doesnt just over prescribe like some doctors do. He was one of the only doctors I visited that diagnosed me properly and has helped give me some relief in my life.

My son is in the hospital right now. This doctor was treating him for depression. I am holding an empty bottle of Xanax that was filled on 8/1 and an empty bottle of Amphet generic Adderall filled on 7/31. Do you have any idea what is going on????? His girlfriend is going through his phone and he is selling them to buy other drugs. Do you even talk to your patients or you just hand out these prescriptions. How do you sleep at night?

Do NOT go here! I waited 6 weeks for an appointment. I show up and the guy behind the desk says I have bad news, the doctor didn't show up today. I said what! I just waited this whole time! He said well the doctor is old and gets sick a lot, well maybe the doctor needs to see a doctor! Don't waste your time!!!!

An hour before my first appointment, I was called and told that the doctor had to reschedule. I rescheduled it for the next week. That appointment was also cancelled about an hour and a half prior to the appointment. Reluctantly, I rescheduled once again for a week after that only to have that appointment cancelled two hours before I was to be seen. So...that's it. The doctor couldn't make ALL 3 appointments. I have never experienced anything like this. I'm really amazed.

He had explained everything about my daughters mental health that allowed me to understand it. I thought he was a good doctor but a patient just ran into the office without being called in and before we were done and I thought that Was strange. But than again I was in a psychiatrists office.
