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.

What a great mental health group to work for!! I sold my practice (Rockford Psychiatric Medical Services) to Geode Health about a year ago, and I couldn’t be happier! I feel more like a “partner” rather than an employee. I don’t have to worry about all the tedious business aspects of managing a large practice. Geode is striving to be the best mental health provider network nationwide and they are on their way!! - Dr. William J. Giakas, M.D.

I did not have anything that you could call a life. I forced myself to take care of my husband who is disabled to the point he wouldn’t live long if he had to live by himself. He needs me to organize and get his meds and to make sure he takes them. I fix his meals make sure he gets in bed at night. So much care and hardly an ounce of ability for myself to make sure he is alright. Also I have 3 little dogs and a cat. They of course need to be fed and let outside. Every time I completed a chore I would retreat back to my bedroom and that is where I lived was my bedroom. That had gone on for about 2 years. In those few years I had seen other psychiatrists but nothing changed for me the meds didn’t work and it made me more depressed because I thought I was going to have to live the rest of my life that way so depressed. My daughter introduced me to Geode health. The Dr. Provided TMS treatments for me and while I went through these treatments the Dr and nurse came up with a remedy of meds. I thank God for them because things have completely turned around. I not only feel like I have a new life to live but I most definitely do have a new life to live. Thankyou Geode Health

I got passed around a bit when trying to find why my meds didn't make it to the pharmacy before someone found the right reason. That is the main reason for my rating.

Visit was fine. Reliance on texts and emails from Geode & Athena very off-putting. Wish they would go away. Find them to be intrusive
