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.

Just Bad
He is not a good doctor. He deliberately takes a long time on your case so as not to take new cases, but then doesn't treat you. He skips you over for a session in a few days and when you finally meet, he constantly looks at his watch every single time. He forgets to make medication changes he discussed or deliberately under medicates because he does not know what to prescribe. This might be forgivable if he was a decent person, but he is extremely condescending, makes comments with overtly unpleasant innuendos, insensitive, and judgmental. He lacks the human touch necessary to be effective in his role.

Just an awful excuse for a doctor. He did everything to make my hospital stay awful and very proactively made snide remarks on the side solely for his enjoyment. Please steer clear from this presumptuous, ego-driven person, especially if you have a history of trauma as he will strategically attempt to re-traumatize you at opportune moments knowing his status is up against yours.

when my wife really needed his help he decided to resign because he felt he couldn't help her. Her outcrys for help he ignored. Truly a Doctor you can not rely on. 2 years he treated her was a complete waste. He milked us for 2 years she is still as bad or probably worse then when we started, and he came highly recommended.
