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.

Avoid at all costs!
This man is not concerned with helping anyone. My first visit to his office in my late 20s dealing with a small issue eventually lead to my pharmacist advising me to get FAR away from him as the medications he had me on were not only over the legal limit and they would not fill but they believed I didn’t need them at all and after following their advice, and seeking a caring therapist and CBT therapy. I’m medication free today. Found a local church group and got plugged in as well. Life, family and career are wonderful today! Find yourself a caring therapist, they do exist. Please do yourself and your family a favor, run, run, run from this man!

To be frank, there's a reason the man was fired from Mercy Fitz.... he's cruel, demeaning, and he will crush you if he wants to. I've known this shrink for 28 years, misspoke when I was doing quite unwell, and he did everything he could to ensure that I knew he had all the power and that I was nothing. He nearly destroyed me in the process, heart, soul, and I almost took my life. But I'm back now. And look at him, fired. Thank goodness for karma, didn't he just get squished like a bug, huh?
