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.

Disappointed
Asks the same questions to our child to make conversation but she’s frustrated because it gets old. Not a good way to build rapport with a client. He doesn’t listen to what we have said about our child regarding the medication not working. Overall disappointed with the appointments and happy to have moved on.

He's a fine psychiatrist but has super limited availability (every other Monday and every Wednesday), which makes it hard to reach him for urgent matters.

Does not listen; was stuck with false diagnosis and refused to listen to anything else from either parent. Was not helpful and put child on medication that should not have been on. Seems intelligent and knowledgeable but not helpful if not diagnosing correctly because he is not listening.

Doctor Kamtam had been amazing. He has gotten to know my 12 year old helping him to understand his need for medicine. He has helped our family on a Tim of crisis. He has been patient, honest, kind and unbelievably helpful. He also is on top of all changes in my son as he is growing and taking medication. He helps us to know what is appropriate and what we need to do. We highly recommend him! Office was not his office and the one we saw him I was very poor.
