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 NP should not be mistaken for a dr. Her knowledge of psych illnesses and medications was limited. She was unfriendly and unsympathetic. She had precise parameters in which one must fit into in order for her to provide treatment. Both her and her staff were highly unpleasant and gave the impression that you were more of a nuisance than a suffering human being. Also, the mention of benzodiazepines will get you classified as a junkie looking for drugs. Don't waste your time.

After a long, rotating history of providers, Rhiannon is a breath of fresh air. I know that being a great psychiatrist has got to be very challenging. Rhiannon rises to that challenge. I’ve never felt more like a real person in anyone’s care. She listens and connects. If you are fortunate enough to have her as your provider, I’m confident that you’ll have the same experience!

I truly miss seeing Rhiannon. Every appointment meant progress. The practice she left has me all messed up already. I'm forced to find a new facility all over again.

I was so upset when I learned Rhiannon had left the place I get treated at. She would always listen first, make suggestions second, and looked for the right answer for me rather than trying the "best new thing on the market", or sticking with what is known to work for others. She is an out of the box thinker and will keep digging to find the answer, even when it edges outside her area of influence. She truly has a passion for what she does and will be greatly missed.

She improved my quality of life after just one visit. She is extremely intelligent and approachable. She made more of an impact in her first visit with me than my previous doctor did after seeing him for over 6 years.
