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.

Sadly he's gone. He spent 4 hours on my wife's intake. He was the only Dr. we found in 10 years of searching that understood my wife's illness. No matter what he's done we are lost without him. In the 10 years she saw him, he never failed us.

With the benefit of hindsight I can say with absolute certainty that Dr. Gold changed my life. We first met while I was in hospital in early 2016 after a suicide attempt, and a relapse. Our first meeting was about 3 hours. He helped me navigate the worst year of my life with medications and rebuilding my self esteem. He will tell you the truth, and you might seem shocked or hurt, but he’s right. Almost three years later I have changed jobs and states. Yes, you may wait, but he saved my life.

I had been Doctor to Doctor with little to know help. My first visit to Doctor Gold he review my records. We talked, he listened to what I was saying. Dr Gold then put me on a regiment of medication that totally turned my life around. We have to change or tween every now and then. The best thing is that he listens to you and manages your condition and your meds arordingly. I presonly would never go anywere else! Thank you Dr Gold, Velva Guthrie

It was my good fortune that Dr. Gold was on the floor the day of my admission. A previous visit had me visit with another doctor, who took less than three minutes. With Dr. Gold, not only did he take over THREE hours with me, he actually listened. A following crisis I had resulted in a needed emergency visit with him, and he stayed late to accommodate, and we had another two hour session. He listens. And he cares. Deeply.

My doctor for over 12 years. Knowledgable of diagnosis and medications. Very kind compassionate Dr. Would still be going to him if not for moving out of state!
