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.

I have been seeing Dr. Anderson for over 25 years. He is he BEST!!! He literally saved my life, and has helped me with my anxiety so much. He is wise, kind, caring, helpful and I feel so lucky to have him as my Psychiatrist.

Dr A. Is not the new type of psychiatrist who spends 10 minutes with you and gives you the same prescription to everyone. He gets to the root of the problem and actually spends time with you. There is no better psychiatrist in my humble opinion.

I have seen Dr. Anderson since 2001. He is the wisest man I have ever known. Further, he is one of the few Psychiatrists left who not only prescribe effective medications (brilliant psychopharmacologist) he does also does CBT. Dr. Anderson truly cares about his patients and he lives his mission as a Physician by standing behind the Hippocratic oath to "Do no harm." I am beyond blessed to have found him through a referral by a friend (this man does not need to advertise). He saved my life. SSL
