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.

Not a good thorough physician. The concern here is that this physician is boarded as a member of the American Academy of Psychiatry and Neurology. I complained of a personality change, headaches, etc. Instead of being responsible and ordering a Brain MRI, this man simply gave me a diagnosis of 'personality disorder'. I could have died from the brain tumor. I also lost my job, my reputation and my ability to work and was uninsured for a while due to his negligence. I was living at the poverty line. He needs to be evaluated himself for his arrogance and abrupt diagnoses.

I would not seek medical help from him ever again. He and Northwestern involved my family without my consent and ruined my full-time employment as an accounting associate by keeping me hospitalized longer than necessary. Also put hostile and untrue notes in my file, claiming that I was mentally challenged but used the phrase "retarded, " when I pose an I.Q. at or above 100. Also copied notes from a mental health agency Thresholds from a former authority figure that were completely inaccurate.
