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.

Saw my daughter no longer than 3-5 minutes, 2-3 times and called it an evaluation. Charged in excess of $800 just for his services.

While in the Valley hospital post surgery, having a medication reaction to the pain meds i was given. My family was not consulted and did not agree for this dr. to do an consultation. I was taken off my standard psych meds and my Psycharitist wasn't also contacted!! This also added to my psychotic break my family was disraught over my situation and no one explained anything to them I have my entire chart from the hosital and went over every Dr's note If I wanted to retain a lawyer to review my situation I'd have a perfect case against these MD's..

Dr. Dealers saw my son in the ER recently and was absolutely wonderful both in communicating with him and then explaining what was going on physically in my son's brain, and what steps he recommended to get back on track. I have never been impressed with psychiatrists, but this doctor definitely impressed us.
