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.

This doctor upped my father’s dosage and made his conditions even worse. He was already taking to much medication to being with he was also a paranoid schizophrenic.Had heart problems and skin was changing color. He could barely talk at one time, couldn’t be in the sun like he wanted to. Now he’s in heaven, this was 4 years ago and still remember to this day.

Incompetent Mental Health Doctor
I am writing this review because as a mother I am frustrated at the level of incompetence this mental health provider has given my son. My son suffers from bipolar disorder which symptoms include mania, depression, lying, and impulsivity to name a few. I tried getting my child disability as he has not been able to hold a steady job since he was 19 and she has been no help. As a mental health doctor it should be your expertise on when the patient is lying or going through a manic episode. I’m am disappointed and frustrated at this doctors inability to empathize and work with families having to deal with mental health. When issues are addressed the doctors retaliates and refuses to work with the family. Please stay away from this doctor.
