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.

Tries to get you to OD. Tries really hard. Also pronounces your medications wrong to mess with you. Does a lot of things to mess with you. Good kid.

Used to work for Dr. Ron Melvin
I also used to be a patient. He had a great knowledge of medications, took lots of time to listen, was ver knowledgeable of mental diagnosis, and took time to actually listen. Was very easy to talk to.

Horrible Dr. Put me on meds at a dosage for a condition I don't have and wasn't diagnosed with. Had me on a huge dose of sedating medicine at night and then way too much of a stimulant during the day. Didn't approve the stimulant for 3 days after I left either so I got to withdraw from that the hard way. Took me off meds prescribed by specialists for other conditions that I have without explanation, the specialists weren't happy about that. And the whole time I was there I was never given a plan for treatment which is supposed to occur within 7 days or before you leave and I was there longer than 7 days. I never got all of the documents that I signed when I came in. I approved a few people to get information about my treatment when I came in and I was told that I never signed any such thing, I made certain I signed it. Dr Melvin is unethical, he would talk to patients about their care and medication and so on out in the open in front of everyone.
