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.

I've been seeing Dr. Dale for about 5 years now. She is kind, supportive, and direct. She's also very flexible as I've forgotten appointments on occasion and she quickly switched them to telehealth. She has absolutely worked with me to find the optimal treatment plan, and listens when I say something seems not to be working.

Hope at last
So glad I connected with Dr. Dale. She gave me hope for the first time in 3 months. Knowledgeable, caring, kind. I just wish I'd found her sooner.

Lack of Compassion
I saw Dr Dale 3 to 4 times. She was dismissive of symptoms, overtly controlling, and uneducated regarding medication she prescribed. Don't see her!

I have had no problems with Dr. Dale. The psychiatrist I had before was horrible. Dr. Dale’s office is pretty much on time and she is very thorough and adjusted my medications. I would refer friends to her.

I have been seeing Dr. Dale for 5 years. She has a low key professional personality and is very knowledgeable. After suffering many years and trying different medications, she pinpointed my problem quickly & made medication adjustments. I felt so much better due to her expertise. No problems making appointments and my calls are always returned.

Grateful in North Olmsted, OH – Feb 28, 2019
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Dale?
Every single time was 45minutes-1 hour later than my scheduled appt.. I asked the secretary about this and she was very mean to me saying "if you don't like it, go somewhere else. She NEVER remembered my name or literally anything about me at all. She was rude, condescending, and gave poor advise. I had harmful side effects of a medication (head jolts, almost passing out) and when I FINALLY got ahold of her, all she said was "stop taking it." Terrible psychiatrist, go see someone else!

I'm copying some of these same issues the person before me did because it seems shes dropping her patients lately. anyone know why? Impossible to schedule an appointment. They never answer the phone, let alone return phone calls. Tried calling to get my medical records after being dropped as a patient with no explanation as to why. They wanted the address to send the records, too instead of me picking up my records. I would never recommend her to anyone. I was seeing her for over 10 years.

Impossible to schedule an appointment. They never answer the phone, let alone return phone calls. Their billing is slow and out dated. Prepare to get slapped with 3 visits worth of bills at once. Tried calling to get my medical records after being dropped as a patient with no explanation as to why. I did not feel comfortable talking about my life and issues without judgement and side eyes. I would never recommend her to anyone

have been seeing her for over 10 years. I would refer her to other people. I happen to like her. she is very candid and does help put problems "in there place", meaning some things are not as bad as they seem. she is more than willing to change meds or alter dosages. she does have her hands tied with the new laws regarding (opiates/benzos), but that is a state law. I have been to other doctors and verified this. I would not change even though she is a drive to get to.

Elyria, OH – Aug 25, 2017

I've done two appointments with her and both were at least 20 mins late. The second one I noticed she saw another person 5 mins into my actual session time and didn't get to see me until after 40 mins later. I wanted to reschedule, but it would've been 3 weeks out. The actual session seemed okay, but I felt like she was dismissive of my issues I was having and would say things like "that's not that bad" to the problems I was coming in for. Fortunately I have a way better therapist for my issues.

Syracuse, NY – Jun 01, 2017

Needs to retire. Blatantly lied to me about a medication she has prescribed me for over 10 years. Was told I needed to get off of it due to new stricter laws. Telling me if I wanted to stay on it I would have to come in once a month and be urine tested. Lie. Found another psychiatrist who explained to me that I could still stay on the drug but would need to come in every 3 months. No urine tests unless there is suspicion of misuse. Last 3 months of my life sucked due to her and her neglect.

Never gets back to you on time, even for urgent matters. Receptionist is extremely rude and unprofessional. Always a long wait time. Usually 30-60 minutes from time of your scheduled appointment. Do not recommend.

Cleveland, OH – Nov 26, 2016
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Dale?
I had been warned about her condescending attitude; it's AWFUL. I was describing my symptoms to her, to a few of which she answered "that doesn't count." She attributed all my problems to my parents divorce and although that's definitely a part of it, I have other issues that contribute to my struggle. The original appointment is made for an hour, but I got not even 25 minutes with her. The only reason it took an hour is because she was behind. Wouldn't recommend her to anyone. Lacks compassion.
