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.

He is an awful doctor. Could care less about the person he's treating. Never before have ivr been treated so bad by a medical professional. I've been on some medications for over 5 years and some half my life and he didn't want to prescribe them to me. He didn't even want to taper me off Prozac. Just stop taking it. Don't doctors know we will get sick if not slowly tapered of these meds. This doctor was an awful experience and has caused me a lot of grief and aniexty. Just awful!

Worst experience with a medical professional I have ever had. Took 4 months to get an appointment. Hoping for a refill of depression medication. Refused to treat me with medication I had had success with before. Did not help me make a plan to find other treatment or therapy. Wrote a diagnosis on my chart i had never seen before and did not explain it. I did not not even see diagnosis until going over my paperwork with another medical professional. Hurtful, confusing experience.
