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.

Very experienced in geriatric psychiatry. I was in hospital twice and had misjudged him. He doesn't have a wonderful bedside manor, but he helped me out with a severe situation. I have respect for him.

Unprofessional and rushed through our appointment. Never been treated as poorly by any doctor, therapist, psychologist, etc., as I was with him. I wholeheartedly agree with the other review that says he should not be working with anyone who is suffering from mental health problems.

This Doctor is the most unprofessional Doctor that I have ever had in my life. He doesn't deserve to be treating people with mental illness.
