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.

When you go through almost every horrible thing that a person can experience in life all at one time it takes it’s toll. Dr. McGowan has helped me tremendously to work through some very painful things by just listening and validating my perspective. I recommend him as he’s very much about helping his patients and protecting their right to privacy of their treatments. I trust him and that’s so vital to any therapy because without trust they cannot help you work through the things you need to.

I'm honestly not sure why someone would give Dr. McGowan a one star review. I found him to be attentive, well mannered, and genuinely sincere. I guess some people don't realize that therapy sometimes requires hearing things about yourself that you don't like. it's not always peasant, but I don't think I would have made the progress I've achieved without things being pointed out that I wasn't aware of. Thank you Dr. McGowan for all your help, I'm truly in a better place today, and very grateful!
