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.

Absolutely Horrible
Telehealth
Stay away from this woman. She is dismissive and lazy. She does not care nor does she want to do her job. She will never admit that she is wrong. Save time and money. Get help from a better doctor who actually cares!

Lazy and incompetent

Rude, uncaring, unprofessional and terminated my services because I asked her to change my pharmacy. She is an embarrassment to the mental doctors, who actually care for their patients. Stay far away.

Terrible bedside manner.
She seemed completely unintersted. Went through the checklist that had already been provided to her nurse and never veered off of it and just checked boxes. Not really interested in what I had to say, no history taken (which is critical to my mental health issues) and had no familiarity with my issues. Just a bump on a log. Horrible!

STAY AWAY YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
have to agree with the above reviews. She is rude and dismissive. I was referred by my therapist and was quite shocked at this person's attitude. She clearly feels over-educated and overqualified to be dealing with the likes of her patients. I would rather have my teeth pulled than go back to her again. I expressed concern about the medication she wanted to put me on because it causes weight gain I explained to her that this was a major issue for me since I have been working so hard to control my weight and she dismissed this and just gave it to me. I requested another Doctor right away.

Up and left!!!
I don't know the circumstances but if you have been a Dr somewhere for quite awhile and have patients that rely on you and trust you..and from what I gather and have heard the dr left..now the other dr is left taking care of her patients and working his hardest to take care of everyone..to me that's NOT PROFESIONAL OF HER!! SHE SHOULD HAVE WAITED UNTIL THEY HAD A REPLACEMENT!!!! ON MY OPINION THAT PUTS PATIENT CARE IN JEOPARDY ESPECIALLY IN MENTAL HEALTH.

In my opinion, this person shouldn't be allowed to practice. She is dismissive, rude, and incompetent. She will retaliate with a bogus diagnosis if you report her behavior. BEWARE.

Dr. Pila is rude, abrupt, and doesn't care whatsoever. She is quick to judge and always assumes she is right, even when blatantly wrong. Avoid her if you actually want help.
