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.

Really easy to get an appointment
Pros- Really easy to get an appointmentCons- I have seen several therapists and Brendler was one of the more pretentious ones. I don't think he is good enough to warrant his conceited attitude. I think it was always easy to get appointments because a lot of his clients must not rebook.

Like the other reviewer said Michael was arrogant. He also misdiagnosed and was not forthcoming about a diagnosis with parents.

Michael is the best therapist I have ever had and unfortunately I have needed to see several. He is incredibly perceptive and caring, but is careful to maintain appropriate boundaries. He is perceptive and persistent and optimistic. I see an adverse review earlier and perhaps he was not the right therapist for that family. I see a man who is curious, compassionate and inspiring.

Dr Brendler misdiagnosed my daughter causing her great harm. He misinformed the parents and was arrogant. I strongly would not recommend
