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.

Worst Dr. I’ve ever had
After seeing him for about a year and a half, he never showed up for our telehealth appointment and never called me back. To make matters worse, there was no way to contact him because his phone was disconnected. Left me high and dry with my prescriptions and having to go to urgent care to get my prescriptions filled. I finally found a clinic he goes to once a week and had them give him messages 3 weeks straight with no reply. The most unprofessional DR. I’ve ever encountered.

This guy is a joke
I was in the office one time for my son's initial evaluation. This idiot said two words to my kid, and asked me and my wife a couple questions. 10 minutes and we were out the door. Every single "visit" since then has been over the phone and have lasted no more than 5 minutes. "How is your child doing?" "Is he okay in school?" And "okay, talk to you in a month" are the only things he ever says on the phone. Now I've requested my son's evaluation from him during the last visit. Still hasn't sent it and getting a hold of him is ridiculous. He got an answering service now because all he cares about is money, and not helping clients. If I could give this idiot zero stars, that's what I'd do.

This doctor has ignored my phone calls literally crying and begging for him to call in my prescription that I need. I can't trust a provider who ignores voicemails of me begging him to call in the script for my anti-depressants. It's Citalopram, it's not anything special but I need it. How could anyone be expected to trust someone like this with their mental health? I'm going to be attempting to switch providers ASAP and would not recommend this doctor to anyone.

First of all, regarding the first comment here - this psychiatrist is NOT a female. I have been seeing him for the past year. I am an RN, and I find him to be very knowledgeable about the medications he prescribes for me, taking into account my other medical conditions. Dr. U. is from another country, I believe, and I sometimes find it difficult to understand him, with his accent. He may come across as brusque, to some, but I find him to be personable and caring. It is more important to me that he is knowledgeable about psychiatric diagnoses and treatments, the medications he prescribes, and their effect on people with other medical conditions. I would recommend him.

This woman should not be in business. I took my transgender child to see her regarding some behavioral issues. She practically suggested conversion therapy, disgusting. I'm calling Aetna to report her.

Stay away from this egomaniac . This man has the compassion of a flea. Never once will he ask you about your feelings . Almost everyone under his care is on the same type of medication and is diagnosed with the same thing. This man is dangerous.
