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.

Dr Oppermann and Parkinsons Disease
Telehealth
My wife has had Parkinsons Disease for over 12 years and was exhibiting some of the most troubling psychological aspects of this. We had a long, good and trusting marriage but she became very mistrustful, and was having auditory and visual hallucinations which she took to be true. Her hostility became very difficult for me to deal with. We were referred to Dr Oppermann who gradually helped her, and me, realize what was happening, that these are illusions, they are not true, and she can manage them. The end result was a big reduction in these sorts of problems. The root cause, PD, is still there of course, but she can indeed see the reality. He also pointed out other personality aspects, never pointed out to her before, that complicate or exacerbate the issues, so she can manage those too. He also helped her mitigate the depression that PD had induced in her.

Dr. O changed my life. Initially I consulted with him due to personal issues with depression, lack of self esteem, and many other issues both with myself and my familial relationships. I saw Dr. O every single week and eventually learned that I actually have ADHD, which helped me realize so many things about my life and what makes me think and act the way I do. I now feel so much better, have more tools to deal with issues, and are happier than ever. Thank you so much Doctor!

BEST THERAPIST EVER!
I’ve been in therapy since second grade. I am now 39 years old. Never in all of my experience with therapists have I ever felt so heard, validated, and given such amazing help finding myself and my purpose. Dr. Peter Oppermann is by far the most qualified doctor and a beautiful soul. He has helped me in more ways than I have ways to express. Thank you Dr. O! My gratitude to you is endless, and I’m so thankful to have your support and guidance. My life is like night and day, changed for the better. You are a gifted listener, and healer of people’s hearts, and spirits. You have definitely changed my life for the better in so many ways! Thank you for what you do, and how you do it. My experience with you as my doctor is treasured now and forever. Forever grateful, K

Dr. Peter Oppermann was called several times and emailed through his website and we never received a return call or an email for now more than a month. One time he actually answered the telephone while he had a patient in his office he said and promised he would call me back and never did. Highly unprofessional. We really needed his expertise for depression appointment for my mom which he was referred to by her neurologist, yet he could not be available to even call us back. Such a shame.

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Oppermann. He is an extremely intelligent and experienced psychologist who is kind, understanding and easy to talk to. He doesn’t judge which is very important to me. I thoroughly enjoy my time with him and always feel safe in his presence. In addition, I always walked away with tangible tools, steps and ideas of ways to help improve myself. I have been dealing with an extremely complex chronic illness for over 3 years now — Dr. Oppermann continues to provide help and guidance during the most difficult times of my life. I’m so glad that I found him and can rely on him during our sessions.

Dr. Oppermann is a skilled and compassionate clinician. He is patient and caring and I have benefited greatly from working with him. I highly recommend him. I'm 62 years old and have worked with many psychologists, and Dr. Oppermann is the best.

Dr. Oppermann is a skilled, perceptive therapist who genuinely cares about his patients. He provides compassionate and insightful guidance as he opens the way to understanding and moving in a positive direction. He actively participates in the process, offering his perspective and concrete suggestions that do help. His kindness, patience, and understanding set a tone of trust and hope. He has given me a clearer vision of myself, where I want to be, and confidence to know I can get there.

I recommend Dr. O to anyone who needs a little help in life! His style is very nurturing. He has a way of making you feel like you are normal even despite your situation in life at the the time. He looks at all the positive things in your life and helps you come up with a new way of doing things so you can grow as a person. I would not be where I am in life if it wasn't for Dr. O!
