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.

Very bad experience
Telehealth
I was seeing Dr. Arkham to oversee medication changes for treating major depression and anxiety. At one appointment when I told him I was having suicidal thoughts and feeling like my family would be better off without me, he actually said at one point, among other insensitive things, that of course my family would miss me but they would eventually get over it. It was like standing on the edge of the cliff and he just wanted to push me off. Worst experience I have ever had with a medical provider of any kind and I’ve had some doozies.

Horrible experience, do not recommedn
Dr. Akram was the first psychiatrist I ever consulted with, and almost turned me off of seeing a psychiatrist ever again. He was condescending, provided me with bad medical advice, and did not understand how certain mental health disorders presented in women. I cannot recommend.
