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.

Originally started going to him for depression, but I began to suspect that I might have ADHD (confirmed with separate therapist) and he was completely dismissive and wouldn't even consider the possibility.

Former Patient with Regrets – Aug 15, 2022
Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Heritch?
Basic pill pusher doctor, will not tell you what you're diagnosed with and has no social skills. I get the impression he finds his patients crazy. I was an adolescent when I saw him and he kept increasing my medication dose even though I expressed it was not working for me. I don't know why he's a Doctor, he has no compassion. I had expressed I was being abused and he did not ask any questions or report the abuse like he is mandated to. Hopefully he will retire soon.

I was a patient for several years. I was not comfortable that he did not "believe" in making any diagnosis. He treated only symptoms, and even then was slipshod.

Dr. Heritch is not an effective psychiatrist. He is a poor communicator, doesn't explain things, barely answers questions, and doesn't ask the questions I expect a mental health professional to ask in order to understand the patient.

Marti in Peoria, IL – May 19, 2017
Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Heritch?
I was a first time patient with Dr. Heritch, and was extremely disappointed in my experience with him. He sat down with me for 15 minutes and proceeded to make a complete diagnosis, without bothering to contact my physician or my psychologist (who had diagnosed me with something completely different). He has a very cold demeanor, and only seems interested in getting patients in and out as quickly as possible.
