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.

Had my first ever appointment with Dr. Lim. Got to my appointments early ( a little too early) as this was my first ever psych appt I did not know what to expect. Filled out all my paperwork and waited for my 130 appt. At 130pm the front desk girl says " I'm so sorry, I just got a text from Dr. LIM and he will not be thetr till 2pm!!! " 30 mins late. He had to know before 130pm that he was not going to make it. So disappointing

Had my first visit with this man last month. Appt. Coming up Feb. 10. After 18 months with another doctor (who the judge said won my case for disability) the state moved me to him...the same week the judge made his ruling....hmmmm....he greeted me with a terse "why are you here"? Nurse Rathcett has a better bedside manner!!! Then he proceeded to compare me...to him....derided me and dismissed me with "do you expect me to believe"....hmmm....did this man call me a liar after 15 minutes? ?
