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 Doctor
I find Dr. Bot to be an excellent doctor. I suffer from depression and anxiety and sensing Dr. Bot for the last several years I have been able to manage my depression and anxiety very well. I find him to be a good listener, respectful, and knowledgeable about current treatments and medication‘s.

Excellent Doctor
I love Dr. Bot. He’s been my psychiatrist since 2015, I see him monthly, and he’s always treated me with kindness and has come up with a perfect medication regimen for my anxiety, depression, ADD, and PTSD. I’m a 32 y/o female.

A psychiatrist who actually helped me!
I have been seeing Dr. Bot for a little more than 3 years. Prior to seeing Dr. Bot I was over medicated and was not stable at all. I was in a psychiatric hospital several times a year before I found him. My prior psychiatrist had me do 53 ECT’s within a year which did not offer any long term help and actually caused damage to my brain. The medications my old doctor gave me actually caused me to gain 100 pounds. Dr. Bot truly listens to me and because of that I’m finally on the right medication combination now and have even lost 78 pounds so far. I haven’t had to stay in a psychiatric hospital since I established care with this doctor. I am the most stable I have been since I was diagnosed with a serious mental illness. He makes time for me in between appointments if I have an urgent matter. Even doing a phone appointment when necessary. He is always caring and truly the best psychiatrist I have ever had.

Saved My Life
I have been seeing Dr. Bot for 7ish years. I have never felt better. He found the answer to my medication needs and helped me find my true self. I truly feel that I would not be here if it were not for Dr. Bot. He is highly professional and caring.

I have been a patient of Dr. Bot's for over 20 years. Prior to seeing him, I had been over-medicated and had a trust issue with psychiatrists. Dr. Bot discovered my depression was not genetic but rather was caused by events in my life and weaned me off one of the medications I had been taking for 20 years which I did not need and which had adverse side effects. He has also counseled me on relationship issues with my family and more recently a narcissistic boss. I trust his judgment completely and I highly recommend him.

I once told a psychologist that I was seeing Dr. Bot. The psychologist's eyes opened wide: "He's evil." He truly is. He is not at all empathetic and sits in his lush office like he's a god. I've never had a meeting with him where I did not wind up in my car sobbing. He's cruel.

Terrible. It takes more than 15mins and two seconds of eye contact to connect w your patient and desperate but present and ever loving husband. Experience is wasted if you deny the ground work.

This man may have qualifications to be a doctor, but under no circumstances does this man possess the personal skills necessary to be an effective doctor. When my partner and I called regarding a recent med change we were concerned about due to some restlessness we were not seeing prior to this change, we were met with intense hostility and were told to "go find a new psychiatrist." I have never dealt with this person in my life but at this point we WILL be finding another psychiatrist!

Been seeing Dr. B for few years. Don't know what would have done without him at times. Have referred others and have only heard positive feedback. He is easy to work with but does have a couple rules. If cancel appointment do it within 24 hours or will get charged. If sick no problem as long as let him know. He always calls back immediately (except once when there was a phone issue and he was not able to get right back. Most staff good and the only time I have to wait is if I am early
