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.

Interesting, but not styled for everyone.
Dr Bohland prefer’s a method which is time consuming to people who may already struggle with time management in their lives. He is extremely knowledgeable, but his views of medicine are very old school, which if you rely on meditation and intend (or are required) to stay on them, then you may want to shy away. If you want to speak to a therapist for someone to talk and connect to, this likely isn't the Dr for you.

Have used therapy before. Dr. Boland's approach is very different requiring client to do most of the hard work and recognize and practice different ways of thinking and acting. Very, very helpful. He is skilled, extremely intelligent and insightful. Heartedly recommend for those who aren't afraid to make changes or truly see themselves.

Dr. Boland gives sound advice. If you want the truth, good or bad, go see him. If you want someone with no opinion or just tells you what you want to hear, go somewhere else. Some people do not want to hear what they are doing wrong. Dr. Boland is all about personal responsibility!

I was in a really bad marriage and Dr. Boland really helped me cope with the divorce process. He was nonjudgmental and supportive, did not push religion and helped me become emotionally strong!

Dr Borland cuts through out of the psycho-babble that lots of psychologists use. He helps you find the root of the problem and then walks you through the way to get well.
