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.

Highly qualified, professional and capable. Her focus centers completely on patient care.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Hylton?
I have been with Dr. Hylton for at least 15 years. She is one of the smartest therapists I have ever met and I need someone highly intelligent to challenge me to think about looking at my problems in unique ways. I have been thrilled to work with her, she has always been prompt about refilling my meds (even as I have changed medical insurances numerous times), and she is always available to chat about issues that need urgent attention. I recommend her very highly
