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 feel worse
I tried telling him I didn’t think therapy was for me- I didn’t want to offend him and say it was him i didnt like. Anyway he made me really uncomfortable bc he kept asking me to just give it more time. I saw him 8 or 9 more times and i ended up being so disappointed in myself bc i didn’t stand up for myself. Being a people pleaser is the reason i went to him bc I can’t say no or stand up for myself. I feel like he used that against me He took advantage of me being passive when i was proud that i spoke up to say i wanted to stop going but he obviously didn’t respect that bc he was being selfish and cared only about keeping. a client.

I can catch my breath again
Many things fell apart during COVID-19, 20, 21, and now 22 - work, my marriage, losing friends because of politics. I'm not used to talking this way - the last time I went to counseling was in high school. I just have to say, Dr. Dan was the best. He was easy to reach. He has some serious knowledge, but doesn't flaunt it. He wrote me right back. His assistant got through to insurance for me and is helping get me my benefits. And I got actual feedback, suggestions about things to try - but also perspective, and a chance to let it all out. Things don't feel pointless any more. We're gonna come out of this. I wish that for all of us, but it really helps to have a pro to talk with,

Intelligent and philosophical. If you just need someone to talk to, he's open minded and always willing to listen. If you need actual help or feedback, you will not find it here. During telehealth visits you will come second to whomever is at the door, or his kid, which seems highly unprofessional at over $200/hour. Minus a star for complete denial in his own responsibility as a therapist when let go for months of inaction and a complete lack of guidance despite repeatedly being asked if he needed more from me as a patient. Definitely the best therapist I've had by leaps and bounds, but unfortunately that seems to be a low bar for the entirety of the profession.

This guy is for real. I'm a vet - PTSD after Middle East deployment. No sob story, its just really hard getting back to life, to relationships. Guys at the Vet Center know him - he doesn't talk down, he takes what you have to tell him, its easy to tell if a doctor really listens. My buddies wife goes to him because of how their marriage was affected, and they love him. I just have to thank Dr. Dan, I can sleep, I can work - still work to do, but really getting there, finally, most of the way.

I have seen Dr. Dan in multiple settings. I have recommended him to friends and family. He is a good listener. He offers insight from a learned viewpoint.
