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.

Dr. Anker is a top practitioner. His clinical skills and ability to diagnose complex issues are second to none. He is very insightful and generally helpful. I have been treating with him for about seven years and I have made great progress with his help. I have recommended him to several other people, including family members. The one other person that I know who treats with him is also very pleased with the treatment received. You get what you pay for in all things and mental health treatment is no exception.

Dr Anker cancelled 2 appointments on the day of the appointments., 2 times in a row . He never called my son back personally until I called the office and had to leave a message for him that those cancelation were enough to shut my son off of seeking his help or any help to this day. I think what he did was disgraceful. While he’s charging 300$ an hour and doesn’t take insurance. Dr Anker, if you are reading this perhaps you feel compelled to refund me my hard working nurses pay for the cash I paid to you for those 3 or 4 unworthy appointments my son had with you in 201&

Just left an emergency appointment with him, which he stayed after hours at his office which was closed for me. He spends zero time on the computer, 100% of his attention is on you and the issues you are experiencing. He found the perfect balance" of therapy and medication for me that, after multiple abusive psychiatrists, I can finally say I am enjoying life again. He will even call me when I text him that I am in crisis, all to make sure I am alright and coach me through it. Best doc on earth.

Dr. Anker is who to see if you have a complicated history or if you want the best of the best. His rates are astronomical, but he will get you to a better place.

Dr. Anker is a deeply compassionate and highly skilled physician. He is interested in his patients and is not glued to his computer screen. I would call him "Old School" in the best sense of the phrase, caring, courtly, and courteous?.
