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.

As bad as it gets. He's more worried about protecting broken system. He's a liar and worse

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Lai?
He was abrasive, intrusive and forceful. Treatment was coercive and flagrantly cruel. Leonard was the supervising doctor for my case and for over 4 weeks, he would not sign off to let go outside, it was a privilege I had not earned. Not only was I not allowed outside but I could not open a window, or look out of a window that was not tinted for over 4 weeks. This mans a snake and I don't t think very positively of him or his snake oil he peddles. He shouldd not be a Dr.
