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.

I'll preface my comments by saying that as a fellow mental health professional, I understand the impact a negative review can have on a doctor's reputation. I have NEVER before posted such a review and am reluctant to do so now, but I feel I must warn potential patients before this individual has a chance to harm them the way that he harmed me. Maybe he was just having a very bad day, but judging by how he treated my spouse and me, he lacks even an ounce of compassion for other people's suffering. Anyone with abuse or neglect in their past should avoid this doctor, unless they want to be retraumatized.

Dr. Steven Fayer is a wonderful resource. He's at least as knowledgeable and professional as any psychiatrist I've ever encountered or sought treatment from. Among my favorite of his qualities is his ability to be direct and frank with his patients. He demands honesty and trust, which are two of the cardinal tenets of psychotherapy. It won't work otherwise. I always have and will feel completely comfortable speaking with Dr. Fayer and I highly value his approach, his methods, and his advice.

This "Dr." Is a joke. He is a liar, and absolutely did not listen to the information I explained to him. I've never been to an appointment where a Dr. interupts the session for forgetting to feed pidgeons and then needing to make a phone call, and making a client leave his office, only to wait for 40 minutes before he returns. Absolutely would never recommend him to anyone.
