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.

I had him as a patient in a nursing. He lied and said I was a drug addict, because he had me so sedated I got sick with Hepatitis type A, the board of health said it was because of the medication he prescribed. He also damaged my social standing with the staff by saying that I was sexually promiscuous. The nurses thought I was sick because of an STD. Privately he said I was "after his money. This guy should not be in business.

Dr Cots is a really good psychiatrist. He’s very informative and he knows what he’s doing. One of many things I like about having Dr. Cots as my psychiatrist is that he’s a really good listener. Right when I first met Dr. Cots I knew he was going to be a great psychiatrist! I highly recommend him!

Physician took the time to explain things in words that I could easily understand. He was courteous. I felt he was very well versed in my illness and its treatment.
