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.

This was my first experience with a psychiatrist. I had no agenda and didn’t really know what to expect. That being said this was the most dehumanizing experience I have ever had. She never looked at me, had no idea of my story and was condescending and eluding to “drug seeking behavior” which is not the case. I went based on my therapist recommendation. I actually walked out Do not see this Dr. find someone else to help you.

Absolutely disgusted with the way she’s allowed to treat people abs disgusted that Samaritan allows something like that to practice in their mental health clinic! She is the true meaning as to why mental health treatment has a bad name with her intimidation and manipulation tactics! She’s far from person centered and not trustworthy and discontinues treatment if the treatment plan isn’t her way!!!!
