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.

Comfortable Visit
Dr Dean helped me identify a solution to a pain that surfaced quickly. She was easy to talk with and ensured we didn’t have any negative drug interaction problems. Thanks Dr Dean!

Doctor’s appointment
Try to set up a visit with my PCP Dr. Lipnick for a shoulder injury for last time he was able to help me with a cortisol injection. I was told I would not be able to get into see him this week (no big deal he is busy cause he is amazing) but that Dr. Dean would be able to help with my request. I explained to Dr. Dean what happened with my previous injury, this injury felt the same on the opposite shoulder, what I have done to try and help it (PT, meds, heat and ice) and how Dr. Lipnick helped. Dr. Dean said she can’t do a cortisol shot (disappointed cause when I scheduled the appointment I told them what I was looking for and was told Dr. Dean could help) plus when talking to Dr. Dean I told her all I did including PT and it was like she did not listen to me at all for she only recommended me to do PT instead of helping out with what I was looking for in the first place with Dr. Lipnick. From one health care professional to another, I am extremely disappointed with this appointment.

Concerns Ignored and Dismissed
If you struggle with anxiety or depression or any mental health issues, AVOID THIS DOCTOR. My regular doctor, who I loved, moved out of state, so I requested Dr. Dean as she had some good reviews and works at the same practice. I was sure she'd take the time to read my records, but I guess she didn't bother. I told her what was wrong, told her what prescriptions work well for me, and was told that I needed something stronger and long-term, and that the meds that work for me were 'just a band-aid.' NOBODY should ever make such an assumption after speaking with someone they've never met before, for less than fifteen minutes, without taking the time to read past records. I know what works for my body and my mind. She completely dismissed me, assuming that because she's the doctor, she knows best.

Dr. Dean was prompt, insightful, and caring! She decided that x-rays would be a good idea and wants to follow how the healing goes in the coming days. She recommended ice and painkillers. Clipping part of the nail would be good also. Thank you, Dr. Dean, thank you.

Caring Dr who listens to her patients
I presented new information for my condition along with 2 additional concerns. Dr Dean addressed each of my issues and collaborated with me to reach a mutually agreeable solution. I greatly appreciated her interactive approach compared to the many other doctors that disregard my input, and simply issue directives. I highly recommend Dr Celeste Dean as a medical expert who will work with you to solve your issues.

I found Doctor Dean to be very thorough, and willing to listen to what I was telling her. She also went out of her was to help me test the strength of the medication she gave me to help make sure it would be correct. I am a new patient to her practice, and I am very glad I found her.
