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.

I have been seeing Dr. Stanford for over 15 years and I am so so grateful that I am under his care. He truly cares about his patients and never gives up on me. He is very knowlegeble about all the medications, to treat depression, anxiety, bi-polar etc. It is very clear that Dr. Stanford loves being a psychiatrist and making a difference in his patients lives.
