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.

Misdiagnosed
Was completely misdiagnosed as bi-polar but only have anxiety and depression. Caused a lot of suffering. Many other people have reported the same issue. Be wary of this doctor!

Psychiatrist
I saw Dr. Russek for several years. You need to have a game-plan if you see him and advocate for yourself. He is likely to just prescribe the newest drugs for conditions you may not have. He is a kind person but I got the sense he has a protocol he uses on all patients and prescribes similar drugs.
