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!
if i could give zero stars i would. incompetent and completely unprofessional, insensitive “doctor”. He actually caused more damage than when my child first arrived. Do NOT go to him. Shame on Four Winds Hospital.

Was not impressed with his judgement or professionalism- not worth the wait or time to see him. He doesn’t listen to his patients and makes a lot of assumptions for treatment. He show no compassion for those who need help.

My husband had an appointment with this so called "psychiatrist". My husband suffers from Autism and has most of his life. He is on disability for it. Dr. Leo Bastiaens claimed my husband did not have autism and wanted to cancel his therapy because of Bastiaens prejudice against my husband! Leo Bastiaens is a biggot and decided to treat my husband with such disrespect that we are considering a law suit. DO NOT go to him. He has no clue what he is doing. I hope his licence to practice his cruel

If he asks, don't tell him where you work or your height and weight. Don't tell his therapists anything about yourself either. Avoid them at all costs.
