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.

Great doctor! He is kind, compassionate, and has taken great care of me.

He doesn't listen to me, and asks me questions like " hmmm I wonder if you like being sick and all the attention...." no.... I want to get better that's why I'm here!

The worst. His notes from my hospitalization in May 2016 are inaccurate. He does not listen. He is horribly arrogant. If you want someone to sign prescription pads, he's your man. Otherwise, steer clear.

The doctor was incredibly hard to understand and due to me having to ask him to repeat himself multiple times, he suggested putting me on medication to help me focus. He was incredibly rude and interrupted me several times during our session. When asked to repeat himself, he would talk to me like I was an idiot for not understanding him. Definitely going to see a different psychiatrist next time

The Doctor spent more time looking through his mail on his desk then listening to what I had to say. He would asked me questions and when I tried to answer them he would talked over me. Did not like my spouse in the room with me. Did not explain the drugs he was prescribing. I know more about the drugs that I was taking then him. He never wrote anything down so it seem like every visit we started from the beginning. Do yourself a favor do not go to this Doctor!!!!
