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.

Idk why the negative reviews. I’ve never had a better psychiatrist then Dr. O. He makes me feel incredibly comfortable right away & he seems to always understand how I’m feeling & his responses often feel like the words I just couldn’t manage to find & he just says them like he knew exactly what I meant. I can’t reccomend him enough. U won’t regret it.

besides the fact of the two hour wait to actually see the doc & the inconsistency of them telling me one thing and not doing it; dr. o is the biggest joke, my last (2nd app) i left crying because he literally didn’t know what he was talking about. didn’t even have my records and it was two months into it!! didn’t ask me how i felt with my med changes or anything then had the audacity to ask me why i was crying, worst experience EVER he doesn’t truly care about your well being or want to help anyone besides his stomach! he literally was smacking chips my whole first appointment

Dr Oruwari is a great doctor and spends the needed time to get a clear picture of his patient's condition. I recommend him for pediatric psychiatric care.

Horrible patient to doctor relationship and care. This doctor forges falsified information on billing sheets such as "30 min cognitive behavioral therapy" for monetary gain alone. I've never seen the doctor for more than 10 minutes. Oruwari doesn't remember faces. Only knows patients by what his computer screen tells him. He drops patients with no reason and no warning with verbal abuse. Awful doctor. Do not go here.

Dr. Oruwari really knows his stuff. He's not going to prescribe you anything. I told him my whole lifetime story and he was able to diagnose me with something. This was life changing because I didn't know what was going on with myself. He explained everything's thoroughly and he is a true professional. I highly recommend him. Yes, the wait time is a little lengthy but totally worth it.

If you like waiting 1 or more hours to see the doctor then by all means see Dr Oruwari. His time is more valuable than yours. He pays more attention to phone calls than he does to you during your appointment time.
