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.

Dr. McMullen literally saved my life when I was at a very low point . He was patient, caring, and knew what medications would likely help me. When one didn't he always had a plan B. If your depressed, not getting better, run to Dr. McMullen. He will not stop trying until you get well.

I have gone to Dr. McMullen for a number of years. He diagnosed an issue that I had which no one else had been able to do. He has treated me successfully for it since that time.

There is only one thing I can say. Dr. McMullen literally saved my life. I came to him, desperate and suicidal, on my birthday in 2014. Best present ever because he pretty much cured me of lifelong severe, intractable, refractory depression. Were it not for him , I'd most likely be dead by now. Instead, I help other people and have deep meaning in my life. If you need help, rush to this talented, caring, wonderful healer in the truest essence of the word. He never gave up, and now I am well.

I have been seeing Dr. McMullen for 2 years now and I could not be happier. I have seen many psychiatrists and have never had one that comes close to him. He is extremely courteous, professional, helpful and knowledgeable. I love that he doesn't try to push medications and more often than not will try to come up with lifestyle changes and supplements that can help in addition to medication. I went to him after being told I was "treatment resistant" and within months I felt tremendously better.
