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.

This women refused care to my father after being admitted to the ER for a panic attack accused his tardive dyskinesia as “purposeful” which is actually an irreversible side effect from previous medication he was clinically diagnosed with. Notating under her ED notes Tachycardia was present and that his heart rate and blood pressure were extremely high obvious signs of a panic attack and heightened anxiety. He has been to the ER several times because he was placed on a new medication recently causing repeat panic attacks and heightened anxiety with the closest appointment to his psychiatrist being two weeks out she stated to go to the ER as seen fit if the symptoms worsen. This Dr. refused treatment to my father even after he had complains of suicidal thoughts.
