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.

Warning do NOT see this woman!
Telehealth
In my experience she was very quick to take what you confide in her and turn it around on you with severe diagnoses and labels. For example: I’m worried for my toddlers safety when they are out and about with a nanny in the big city and not w me is “intrusive thoughts” according to Dr. Swanson). She manipulated my husband and actually had me LOCKED UP FOR 72 HOURS in an inpatient psych ward while I was postpartum! Claiming I was a harm to my baby! I have literally never stepped foot in any psychiatric institution in my entire life. Im completely traumatized from the experience, it was beyond inappropriate. I reported her to the institution she was employed by, the state medical board but not sure it did anything unfortunately. She pushed meds hard despite me telling her I have never taken any medication, and I was not interested in any medication especially when pregnant or breastfeeding. Literally was matched with her to talk about stress of a covid pregnancy and it took a dark turn
