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.

The best
I have seen Dr. Denicoff for a number of years. He is unfailingly committed to helping his patients improve and, with his pharmacological expertise, care, and kindness, certainly has helped me more than any other psychiatrist/practitioner I have seen before. He answers calls promptly and follows-up diligently. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

This man was a great doctor at one time but needs to go back to school to refresh medications, perhaps for forensic specialty. Somewhat of an entitled better than thou air which was unattractive.

Dr Denicoff has been my doctor for many years. My previous doctor retired and referred me to him. He is patient and takes his time with me when I see him monthly. I always feel that he listens to and respects me. He never seems distracted or hurried. He has always responded promptly to my calls. He always sees me at the exact appointment time. He is a wonderful doctor, and I am so grateful to receive such excellent care. His secretary is professional and personable, and she is very kind also

Dr. Denicoff was the first doctor to accurately diagnose my mood disorder. Once I was properly medicated, my symptoms were controlled which had a significant, positive impact on my life. He worked with me to manage the side affects of the medication.

First started seeing him during very severe illness. Several other providers didn't want to work with me because I was too sick. He was sympathetic and returned my daily calls. I reacted very badly to one of the medications he prescribed and had to go to the hospital out-of-state. He called ahead so that staff knew my case when I arrived. After the hospital, he continued trying different medications until finding one that I was happy with.

He is very kind, caring and a good listener. He is smart, Ivy League educated -- what is not to like? He emphasizes pharmacological treatments. His staff is exceptionally intelligent, caring, and efficent, with excellent phone manners when they call to remind you about appointments. I consider Dr. Denicoff to be my friend.
