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.

Saved My Life
When people hear what I've gone through; the trauma, the addiction and much more. They ask what happened and how I become the person I am today. I tell them I was lucky enough to have worked closely with a Psychiatrist that I credit for saving my life. Yes it was expensive but good healthcare is unfortunately. If you are ready to do the work and can afford it, this man is a life saver of a doctor. Thank you Dr Sehkon.

Mentally Unstable Doctor
Telehealth
He was late to the appt. Then when we did finally speak he was dismissive of everything I reported. I felt I spent more time elaborating on insignificant details he would question. For example, he asked what made my previous doctor a specialist in ADHD. So then I felt rushed to mention important points to help him understand me better. He then said I spoke too loud & fast & must have a mood disorder lol I just have ADHD. But he told me he would see me in 2 months then abruptly hung up after only talking to me 17 minutes. I was spun because I couldn’t understand what had just happened the encounter was so strange. I find it scary he practices medicine in that manner as well diagnosing quickly & prescribing meds people may not need. I felt something was off as if he was projecting his own issues onto me. So I look him up & find these arrests & please beware he is on Talkiatry now practicing he’s scary & a threat to patients wherever he goes.

Highly recommend among VA psychiatrists
As an 80 year old vet, I've seen a few psychiatrists over the years. This doctor is one of the best. Polite, caring and knowledgeable

Through the VA. Dr. Sekhon did not make any effort to consider me personally. He was passive and dismissive. It seemed to me that he would rather have been someplace else. I spoke with him on 2 occasions and neither served any benefit. Perhaps he was better in private practice and decided to go to the VA as a form of being able to continue to collect a check without providing any care at all never the less quality care. He made several references about his 30= years of experience. I would not take any person or thing to him for medical consideration. It was an absolute and total waste of time. This is an unbiased and objective evaluation of my appointments.

I saw this doctor at an inpatient center. He screwed me over so badly. He never spent more than 2 minutes with me. Every day he said I could leave the next day and then never followed through, causing turmoil and trauma to my husband and kids. He threatened me in order to force his meds on me, when they were not helping and most certainly hurting me. This man was a nightmare and should be subjected to the same torture he inflicts on his patients.

Dr. Sekhon, off the bat, was mistrustful and condescending. He was unable to listen to my concerns and instead asked irrelevant questions such as "what type of work does your boyfriend do". He proceeded to change medication that I have been managing successfully for past 3 years while calling me an "addict". Please continue searching for a doctor if your interested in really getting better.
