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.

Demonstrated how to insult a family!
Obatusin should lose his license to practice and definitely be removed from any instructional institution. In front of a class of students who were invited to observe and record during a case review in preparation for my sons discharge had two disturbing events: #1 Stating to my husband that he does not have to treat my son, or have us involved in his care if he doesn’t want to.” Also, asks a 30 year old if he is still hearing voices, etc. to which he said, in front of a class of people in his age range or younger: “no”. Posthumous medical records show statements made by my son a day or two earlier that he is still hearing voices but doesn’t want the doctor to know because he was afraid doctor would keep him. He also told us he was still unstable, which is why we reported out this information at the meeting. My son learned: If you don’t tell them what’s going on in your head they don’t know. We learned: Telling the truth and advocating for your loved one can have consequences.

I feel he is not help at all. The things he said to my daughter was rude and cruel.
