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.

Uncaring and impossible to reach. Avoid at all costs. Dr. Navakas should not be allowed to practice medicine.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Navakas?
I was so distraught when he left Joliet. Best M.D. I ever had in my life, ( not just Psychiatry, which I saw him for from 1992-til 2000 (?) something, and would still be seeing him had he not left Joliet. I know you remember me as well. How much I’d love to talk, see him even one time-
