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 guy doesn't even listen to the patient. He makes rash and quick judgments, hands out a SSRI Rx and says see ya later. Very unprofessional demeanor. Chuckling, making inappropriate comments. I will NOT be back to that Dr. nor the facility that allows him to practice there. Terrible doctor. Gets tunnel vision on the situation and doesn't even do a complete examination of patient history.

I've had the opportunity to see Dr. Hick's several times while in the hospital. He is, HANDS DOWN, the BEST psychiatrist I've ever seen. He lends an empathetic ear and clearly listens to every word you say. I've never felt more comfortable or listened to...so much so, that I still call and check every so often to see if he is practicing outside of St. Joes. Dr. Hicks really is the best. If I ever loved a doctor of mine, he is it!!! Just pure awesomeness with a big heart!!!

Truly listens carefully, makes no assumptions, does not judge upon appearance, and when you are honest believes you. Spends appropriate amount of time with patient allowed.
