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.

My journey to recovery with Dr. Masters
What I found really distinguishes Dr. Masters is his talent for uncovering and addressing the deeper issues that contributed to my alcohol dependence. He combines professional expertise with a genuinely warm and approachable demeanor. This makes each session with him more than just a clinical visit; it's a nurturing and secure environment where I felt encouraged to confront and overcome my challenges. His practical and insightful advice has been instrumental in helping me embark on a path of sustainable recovery.

My entire family benefits of his expertise
Dr. Masters has been seeing my son for over a year. Not only do I feel he saved his life, but mine. My whole family has benefitted from his straightforward communication and patience. From time to time, he spends time with me, at no charge, explaining me the progress or challenges that my son is experiencing and how I can best support him. He made me realized how in my desperation to help him, I was fostering and enabling behaviors that were of no benefit for no one. Sometimes his observations have been counterintuitive, and I resisted them, to later noticing that he had anticipated consequences and that his experience let him see things that otherwise would be impossible to envision. I have visited many many mental health professionals and spent thousands of dollars in big academic centers and they just took my money and left us hopeless. Dr. Masters is with us, and I am very grateful, and feel hopeful like never before, although still there is a long way to go for us.

Saw him for years
Saw Dr. Masters for 2 years recently, with pretty decent results. Our most recent appointment, he demanded I go and take a UA at a medical center. I mentioned I would do my best to get there that day, and offered to come take one at his office and was told if I didn’t goto the medical center the contract would be ended. This was told to me at 11:30AM, and then I didn’t get the order from him until 1:30PM. They close at 5:00PM. Come to find out the closest location is 30min away. I have 3 kids, 1 school age the other 2 not, and my wife works full time. He’s known this the entire time. The medical center doesn’t allow children in the waiting room. So not only would I need to find a babysitter to watch the younger 2, I’d need to find another party to pick the oldest up from school. This was all explained to him. I’m not sure if he knew I wouldn’t be able to make it and was looking for an excuse to cancel the contract, or if he’s just completely oblivious to real life situations and expe

Fantastic Caring Doctor
Dr. Masters treats my girlfriend and has really cared about her. He is so invested in her health and well-being, he will listen patiently and takes great care to ensure she is living a healthy balanced lifestyle. My girlfriend has made significant positive strides in her life with the support and guidance of Dr. Masters and we owe him a wealth of gratitude. We both recommend him HIGHLY.

Excellent Doctor
I’ve been seeing Dr Masters for years now. He is very knowledgeable, treats the whole-person, is compassionate and caring. I have a chronic illness so it is important to me to be seen as a complete person, not just for one aspect of my life. Not once have I considered another doctor, and I’d seen several before him, so I do have other experiences for comparison. He is an excellent practitioner who doesn’t just tell you what you want to hear. He’s not just another enabler, so look elsewhere if you aren’t ready to truly listen and accept guidance. You get out of your appointments exactly what you put in. I couldn’t be more grateful and recommend him completely.

Dr. Masters is an AMAZING physician, and human being in general. He is so kind and will educate you on what steps you need to take to get control of your life. He does not judge you in the least. You can be brutally honest with him, no matter what the issue is. If you aren’t serious about changing your life, then he’s not right for you. He WILL HELP YOU, but you have to be 100% on board with his program, just be completely honest with him. Thank you Dr. Masters for all your help! What a truly amazing person. I would DEFINITELY recommend him.

Dr. Masters is a very compassionate person who made me feel more comfortable than any doctor I've ever been to. I was completely honest, and I don't think I have ever been that honest to a doctor, but he made me feel safe. I appreciate this man so much! He has made my life manageable again. Thank you! I'd definitely recommend him! Very smart man!

I saw him for 6 months. He was dishonest, prideful, I was an ideal patient, always brought my left over Rx for him to look at and count, with much left over at the following visit, and he still lied regarding this process. He was very unprofessional regarding his treatment of me and continued to be angry when I showed him proof of his mistakes regarding medications.

Dr. Masters has been an essential part of my addiction recovery. It took a while to arrive at the right combo and dosage of my meds, but that's the nature of psyche meds. They have often taken some tweaking to get to the right formula for me. Dr. Masters led me through that process with great care to see how I reacted to different ones. He also monitors how I am doing with the core addiction issues. I would recommend him to anyone who is serious about recovery.
