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.

Life transformed
Dr. Mihtar has effectively managed my medication to maximize my mental capacity. In addition, his well-thought and practical direction has addressed the heart of the great majority of the problems bring him and advice I have sought. My life has literally been transformed, from entering and molding a successful and rewarding marriage to mitigating my less-than-desirable psychological concerns and achieving my goals. While he is not a practicing psychologist, his advice given in short 'psychiatrist-length' sessions has been substantially more effective than any series of 'psychologist-length' sessions to which I have ever subscribed. The knowledge he shares is truly unique among all psych professionals I have experience with, being practical, intuitive, and effective. Dr. Mihtar, thank you so much!
