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.

Dr. Johnson is a caring and smart psychiatrist. Dr. Johnson is a good therapist and has excellent insight. She knows her medications very well. She can also admit when she is wrong. I regard her highly.

I had about the worst possible experience possible with Karen Johnson. She agreed to see me for the first session for free, so I could decide if we were a good match. She then billed me for the session anyways. She made a bad impression in our session, which was why I chose not to see her anyways. Then, by being dishonest, she showed herself to be both incompetent and unethical.
