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.

Dr. Waters is a drug pusher. I went in with a concern about depression since my mother had just passed away and ended up leaving with a diagnosis for bipolar. I was prescribed a bunch of medications I didn't need that left me lethargic and confused. Thankfully a few friends intervened and told me that I needed to get off whatever I was taking. Much better now, but that was a frightening experience. She is seriously dangerous.

Not the best. First off, I'll only get a call from a hidden number when being contacted by this office. A little sketchy and made it difficult to get in touch since the office number is never answered. Have been cancelled on, and spoken rudely to over the phone, which made it difficult to continue seeing this psychiatrist. I've gone days without hearing back from her. The most expensive medication option was also pushed for one of my conditions. Received a second opinion from another psychiatrist who stated the differences between drug A (expensive newer drug) and drug B (less expensive alternative formula) were not significant enough to warrant the extra cost in my case. Unfortunately this was glanced over during our meetings, which made me feel like my condition was not being taken seriously. I would not recommend going to Dr. Waters unless you have no other options, or know your condition and just need a psychiatrist to prescribe medications that you are well educated about.

Dr Celeste Waters is an excellent Psychiatrist. Extremely thorough and professional. She has been my Doctor for almost two years now. She is very accessible both during and after office hours, and cares deeply for her patients. I always walk away from my office appointments with her, feeling better and confident in the care she provides. Thank you Dr!
