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.

Top Tier.
Quite possibly the best psychiatrist in the country. After travelling the United States as a patient, none have had the knowledge, expertise, and foresight as Dr. James Whisenand. He comes highly recommended.

I’ve been seeing him for about 5yr now and he’s by far the best mental health professional I’ve ever seen. He’s not only very knowledgeable but he’s realistic and down to earth. He’s just so authentic and human it’s incredibly refreshing. 10/10 would recommend to everyone.

I have seen Dr. Whisenand for over 19 years and have found himto be a compassionate and knowledgeable psychiatrist. His caring manner makes it easier to bring up problems and concerns, and I am blessed to be his patient. His guidance has helped me to deal with difficult times.
