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. Watanabe is an amazing Psychiatrist. He is compassionate and has empathy, he listens and actually cares. He is extremely intelligent and thinks outside of the box when it comes to medication and treatment. He is a rare gem in his field. There is a huge lack of quality Psychiatrists and I have seen a lot of duds so if you can get in with Dr. Watanabe you are in excellent hands!

Dr Watanabe has saved my life many times over as I have suffered from bipolar disorder, panic attacks, and depression. I believe him to be a deeply principled and compassionate person.

Dr Watanabe has taken exceptional care of me for 11 years. He knows that I don't like being on a lot of meds, so he waits for me to tell him when meds aren't working well. When I have had a particularity bad session, he has spent 40 minutes with me. I have hardly ever had to wait for him for an appointment, he's usually after me a couple minutes after I arrive. He has been the best doctor for me, a person who has PTSD expressed through panic/anxiety attacks.
