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.

Dr Pfeffer is truly a lifesaver. Our young son was trying to harm himself and we were lucky enough to be referred to Dr Pfeffer. Her experience and expertise made our sad, terrified, anxious child feel calm and comfortable. He had never been able to talk about his fears, but with Dr Pfeffer he felt at ease and was able to open up and tell her what was troubling him. She helped us to help him. We will always be grateful to her.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Pfeffer?
I'd leave all stars unfilled if I could. Dr. Pfeffer diagnosed me with a mental health condition I was certain I didn't have and prescribed medication I strongly doubt I needed. Discussions were superficial, not getting to the heart of genuine concerns I had. She was dismissive when I brought up more substantive matters, saying we could discuss them later. Her focus seemed to be on things I didn't need help with (e.g. how to find a job). Would add more if space allowed. Horrible.
