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.

Does Not Provide Helpful Services
Dr. Dess is not focused on problem solving. In the two years that my son saw him, he was never able to even describe what his approach was to try to make things better. He just had meandering conversations that never went anywhere or helped in any way. Sadly we just wasted time and a considerable amount of money without any improvement or even a plan for improvement.

Terrible experience. Took almost a year to complete a psychological evaluation ordered by the court. According to opposing counsel in custody hearing, Dr. Dess supposedly "lost the original test results" from my ex and had to re-do them 9 months later, which greatly impacted the results and gave an increased custody time then he had originally stated when my test was given. This seems highly unethical that he could have "lost" test results from 4 assessessments given, from only one party....
