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.

I have one word to describe doctor Rabe quack. I really can't wait to find a new psychiatrist so I can fire him. he doesn't care about his patients at all. My only hope is that when he needs a doctor he finds one just like him

I have met with him a few times. He forgot that I already have a therapist. He doesn’t seem too knowledgeable about the medications I am taking.

Dr. Rabe is very good with treating/explaining ADHD—especially in women. He explained how women have a harder time getting diagnosed because their symptoms are different than what behavioral professionals associate with ADHD. I’ve seen a few comments about him being sarcastic or inattentive but personally I think his sarcasm is cool/funny. Plus, he did ask me during the first meeting or so if I was comfortable with sarcasm and to let him know if I was uncomfortable at any time. The meetings are enlightening and I don’t think he’s inattentive, just more on the busy side.

Dr. Rabe is a quack who should have retired years ago. I've never seen such an arrogant and inattentive psychiatrist.

My teenage son was a patient of Dr. Rabe a number of years ago. We had a few joint sessions and I found Dr. Rabe to be arrogant and sarcastic. I am surprised by the positive reviews, frankly. I will add that I enjoy a sarcastic sense of humor, but the way that Dr. Rabe used it was diminishing to all concerned.

I had Rabe as a psychiatrist for a couple of years. When I didn't need to see the guy, he was fine - althogh he did not know my first name for the duration of of me being his patient. He also was horrible about returning calls, borderline neglectful and had impeccable laziness. I think he retired but I would highly advise not to see him.

He was great and very accommodating. I am an adult with ADHD inattentive type and he was very much on my level and wanted to hear everything I had to say. Probably one of the best psychiatrists I’ve ever had, and I’ve been treated for my ADD for 15 years.
