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.

My savior,! My Angel! Iris was the individual who saved my life during a crisis almost 20 years ago, loss of a partner, severe addiction to alcohol & drugs That almost killed me. Fortunately we crossed paths in life which was crucial for me since I was in such a deep dark hole And had nowhere to turn. It wasn’t easy, and they say it has to get worse to get better, she was right my whole outlook on I life changed because of her I had hope, confidence and was able to deal with the loss of my partner in a rational way, thank God! Over 20 years, I have thought about you a lot during the good and bad times. You just put perpetual smile on my face......... You have earned your wings many times. Best regard....(((((((BIG HUG))))))) Jay K

She is incredible reckless in her treatment of women with very young children. She imposes her own experiences unpon her patients. She uses many methods such as hypnotherapy of that she received adequate training. I would urge anyone seeking her services to stop and look elsewhere, she is dangerous.

Iris has made such a positive impact on my life. I have never felt more free, strong, and independent. Iris's hard work, compassion, and dedication to all her patients are the best of the best. She has a way of working with patients that makes them feel like they can accomplish things that they were not able to before. I highly recommended her.
