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.

Side effect information was not expressed before starting and also was not taken seriously when concerns arose regarding such, i.e. disbelief from him in proven side effects and no desire to work with or bring up concerns of patient. I would agree with other reviews as in he is unprofessional, i.e. laughs a lot and uncomfortably during sessions and is just hard to work with. But mainly, he disregarded and refused to believe my serious side effects such as a new to me sense of anxiety, extreme fatigue, and loss of emotion, which affected me and made me feel worse than before his “treatment”. He is willing to cancel an existing medication when it coincided with the opposite of desirable effects but refused to believe when a different med had worse effects. All in all, steer clear.
