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.

Utterly awful in every way.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Shim?
Not impressed. She appeared almost bored and didn't tell me anything that I didn't already know. Very generic advice and textbook recommendations that lacked depth. I didn't get the sense that she caters her care based on each individual patient. She didn't appear to have any passion for her work or compassion for her patients, which are, obviously, essential elements in psychiatry. Perhaps her inexperience is a factor but regardless, I won't be back.
