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.

Dr. Parsons is amazing at her work She makes sure she understands my issues and doesn’t push me out the door when my time is over. Very caring.

I've been seeing Dr Parsons for over 8 years. She is an incredible physician and has helped me so much with my anxiety and depression. She is truly caring and a hidden treasure amonst the multitude of psychiatrists I have encountered. A++

She never listened to us, left us to wait for over an hour and a half on average, and was constantly pushing unnecessary pills to fill quotas (only the pills branded on her clipboards an equipment). Overall i'm shocked she still has a practice. She also has her staff go through and post positive reviews, most of them are almost word-for-word what she would say to us about herself in the office. Do Not Recommend.

This doctor saved my life. My first visit with her I had not eaten in several days and she removed an apple from her own lunch and would not let me leave until I had eaten the apple. As therapy continued she continued excellent care and realized my needs. I do not want to sound psychotic as I am not taking any medication at this time, but I can tell you she is the reason I am alive today. I thought about suicide several times and the thought of disappointing her stopped me. She saved my life.
