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.

Crazy psychiatrist
She advised that I have fun and sleep around with men after a severe stay in the hospital for months. Who would advise something like that after a severe mental breakdown?She is another crazy psychiatrist who controls you with a low voice embedded with deep tone. She forced me to drink milk because there was an epidemic in America. That is my body and she shouldn't be telling me how to eat. It is so low and petty to talk to a patient like that. I am in disbelief at how low psychiatrists can go with sick people. You can tell she has lot of mental issues herself. Anyone who wants to put another patient down in an extremely dark time is too privileged and spoiled to be working in a hospital. She does not have empathy. She does not have compassion. She does not have insight. All she has are drugs and medication, and time, which she doesn't really give too much of. I had to be in a room with her while I was severely sick.

Worst Dr I've ever seen. She is judgemental, harsh, unfriendly and discourteous. I was in a difficult situation in my life and she did everything to make me feel terrible about situation and myself. Please steer clear, you'll need therapy after the therapy!!
