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.

Incorrect diagnosis and dangerous medication
Telehealth
She gave me an incorrect diagnosis of bipolar AND THEN GAVE ME ANTIDEPRESSANTS. To my knowledge people who actually have bipolar go manic if they get SSRIs so this is extremely irresponsible. I found this out AFTER I took the first dose. I didn’t go back to her after that mess and to top it all off when I went to a different psychiatrist he said that I show NO signs of bipolar and I have absolutely NO memory of ever being manic before.
What went well
  • Staff friendliness
  • Wait times
What could be improved
  • I didn't feel respected
  • Difficult to schedule appointment
  • Didn't listen or answer questions
  • Didn't explain conditions well
  • Appointment was rushed
  • Didn't trust the provider's decisions
