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.

Excellent psychiatrist
I’ve been going to this doctor for years. He has helped me so much. I understand my conditions better now and he always takes the time to explain what we are doing with the treatment plan. I recommend him to anyone who needs help with depression.

I’ve tried other psychiatrists in the past. This doctor is the first one who’s been able to help me. Wish I’d come to him years ago. Office staff was helpful. My wife and I really like his nurse who is so sweet. He was on time and answered all my questions. Hope he stays as other doctors seem to come and go.

When you have a crisis you have to wait for his timing.He doesn't talk about treatment options and goals with you he makes notes then he tells you what to do but does not talk about how to do this or why to do this. He doesn't explain medication . All ofwhich is unethical and against patient rights and code of ethics. He acts like he is burned out
