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.

Steady, reliable, empathetic.
Dr. Lacy blends old school psychoanalytic listening skills with up-to-date psychopharmacology. He has been my medication prescriber for over a decade and I have come to trust and rely on him. I have recommended him to several people.

I saw him years ago and he was amazingly empathetic. I continue to recommend him to adults over the years.

Waste of so much money! Oversprescriber, terrible at answer calls/emails. Forgets to call in my prescriptions, and won’t answer to refill them. I always felt very awkward there.

Doctor Lacy listens and agrees with you. He doesn't give any input, but repeating what he listens. He is not good responding phone calls. I used him because he is not expensive, but I am not satisfied. He didn't help me. It's like paying someone to listen to you, always agreeing with you. Not updated with the medications. He looks at his medication information (the same medication), every time I see him. I wouldn't recommend him to anyone.
