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 Denkin is a true professional in every sense of the word. Our child was able to connect seamlessly with him- something that was never achievable. He is caring, kind, and considerate. I can't thank you enough, Dr Denkin!

Dr Denkin forever changed my life and I truly believe saved my life . I can’t even put into words how much my almost 5 years of therapy with him helped me. He is caring, empathetic, and really smart. He is also extremely nonjudgmental and I felt comfortable talking to him about anything. If you are thinking about seeing him, definitely make an appointment- he’s great.

We recently brought our 16-year-old son in for struggles related to a history of ADHD and self-esteem issues. He warmed up to Dr. Denkin right away, which is unusual for our son, as he is typically shy and introverted. Dr. Denkin has helped him in so many ways - we are very thankful for his expertise, ongoing support, and guidance.

I brought my son to Dr. Denkin and I saw improvement just about immediately. His expertise is undeniable, but he really knows how to relate to adolescents! My son still sees him and continues to improve and looks forward to every visit!

Dr. Denkin is the nicest guy I have ever met!!! He is so easy to talk to. He really helped me with some difficult issues I was going through. I felt a thousand times better after only a couple of session with Dr. Denkin. If you're looking for a great, knowledgable and down to earth psychologist, then Dr. Denkin is the person you want!

I love, love, love Dr. Denkin!!! He has helped me so much!!! I was a little skeptical about seeing a psychologist at first but Dr. Denkin is so easy to talk to, it's hard not to love him! (He also offers free consultations...not many Dr's do that these days!) He's very real and down to Earth. He really listens to you and gives you practical advice to help you with your problems. You can tell that he actually cares about you and is invested in helping you.

Dr. Denkin is wonderful!!! I had an initial consultation with him and when I met him he was very personable, kind, warm and made me feel very comfortable to talk to him. I have been seeing him for a few months now and he has helped me tremendously. I am so thankful to have found him, as my life has improved drastically already!!!! I highly recommend him!!!

I had only an initial meeting with Dr. Denkin to see if he could help with a family problem. He appeared awkward, would not look me in the eye, wouldn't shake my hand, and appeared generally rude. It appears others have had success with Dr. Denkin, but I would suggest an initial meeting first. My star rating are based on this initial meeting.
