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 cold
Telehealth
Dr. Wozniak was for some reason in my virtual visit with the head of the MGH ketamine clinic even though she isn't a doctor with the clinic. She was ruthless. She clearly had her mind made up about me before I even started answering her questions. She is a horrible listener, and she made things up to cover for the fact that the clinic was clearly discriminating against me due to a prior diagnosis that was no longer relevant. She made statements regarding my health that were inaccurate, and when I tried to correct her and tell her my pcp would be more than happy to speak with her, and that my pcp already gave me a great bill of health just last week, she dismissed me and was stone cold in telling me straight out that the risks outweighed the benefits of treating me, my treatment resistant depression and high suicide risk was brushed off, my life was meaningless to her. So much for taking an oath to do no harm. Stay far away from her, she's heartless.

Parents Beware
Dr. Wozniak cared very little about getting parent or family input in my son’s care. She insisted he was psychotic and in need of psychotropic medication at a dosage that far, far exceeded the recommended amount for a 17-year-old and ignored my concerns as a parent with her recommendations. Fortunately, I was able to find a competent psychiatrist was didn’t subscribe to her dangerous level of pill-pushing and suggestions about Lithium therapy down the line. The new doctors actually recommended weaning him off the Abilify and strongly against following Wozniak’s dangerous dosage and suggestion of even stronger medication. Since coming off the medication my son was able to attend and complete college. He is a happy and healthy 27 year old professional working as a Director in a nationally recognized company. I am grateful that God gave me the intellect to recognize that Dr Wozniak was a pill pushing, self righteous, elitist; had the strength to fight for my son. Parents be warned of her.
