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.

Excellent psychiatrist knows what she is doing and cares.

Terrible MD. Rude and patronizing. Shouts at her patients routinely. Does not listen to them, but acts authoritatively like she is God and doing them a huge favor when she should just be doing her job and makes a living from this. Very defensive when she makes mistakes. Does not return calls and very poor follow up.
