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.

What a joke. As a doctor who treats people with postpartum anxiety you would think their office would be more sensitive. It took all I had in me to call and make an appointment only to get the run around even after my pcp called in a referral, they still gave me problems. She came highly recommended and I wasted a week of trying to make an appointment with what I was told was the best doctor in the area when I could gave found someone who would actually take the time to see me and treat me.

Dr Truman is amazing!!! When I was pregnant my Dr at the time refused to treat me. I am not someone who can go without my meds and for him to just turn me out like he did I was floored! I was referred to Dr Truman and she is by far the best Dr I have seen!! She understands women like no other. She's truly a gem.
