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.

No Empathy, No Compassion, Pill Pusher
This doctor overmedicated and gaslit me about the medication side effects. The medication was giving me insulin resistance and my PCP told me to get off of it. Dr. Poshni insisted that there was no way the medication was causing it. Funny how when I went off that medication I lost 30 lbs and my bloodwork went back to normal. He also said I was too emotional and probably bipolar. I've been in therapy for YEARS and never once was it suggested that I am bipolar. I am not. At one point I was taking 5 different medications that he was prescribing. He is a pill pusher, he's arrogant, and I would never suggest that he work with any females. He is never empathetic or compassionate. Please, if you are a female, stay away from this man.

I've been going there for 2 years and the last time I went there, he asked what I do for a living! He didn't even know me! He asked me the basic questions that he asked EVERY TIME I saw him. Then the last time I asked if i could get put on an automatic refill instead of having the pharmacy call and then bla bla bla, making getting a refill a week process. I said that I was good and have been for awhile/happy with how i was feeling. He said to me, you are only as good as I say you are..........
