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.

Protect your child! 1 – Refused to give diagnosis of child so that I could help. Replies are terse, useless & conflicting. 2 – Did not provide ongoing information. When I asked, child was told (also by ex) that I wanted private info. Hoffman told child’s private info in a meeting!! HE violated child’s personal info. 3 – Ex paid Hoffman. When I requested info (above) he deferred to ex who violated custody agreement. Said his lawyer advised he did not have to provide info – legally false. 4 – Unprofessional. Yelled on phone. 5 – Said he needed some time to treat child. Child’s situation got far worse though he said otherwise. Child now very alienated and other issues. Child was damaged. Heartbreaking to alienated parent. I hope I can help and reverse the damage. Check out many providers before sending your child. Insist (in writing) on regular briefings. Do not decide if any doubts. Once child passes 18, as mine, you have to hope to pick up pieces.
