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.

Stopped husband's meds suddenly
My husband was diagnosed with severe anxiety by a doctor at Vanderbilt University Hospital. He was a patient at Cleveland Psychiatric for some time(2 years?). Anyway, he was on a healthy dose of anxiety meds, that was stopped by this clinic. I understand he ran out of meds most months, I guess mental health issues can't really be controlled well. He went to the hospital multiple times, help was never found. This clinic stopped his medicine cold turkey..which is extremely dangerous for benzo meds. My husband list his battle with his anxiety issues and took his life last week. I do not trust this place.

Dr. Newman fails to return phone calls. Releases patients and ignores further requests by family members.

Primarily I would not recommend Newman because of his staff at the front desk. They hang up on you after they put you on hold. You can hear them smirking about you behind your back. Also communication between patient and Doctor outside of office is extremly difficult to maintain be ause of his staff. Newman is a pleasent one on one individual, though he seems as if he does not care.

My 86 year young father, a veteran, was diagnosed by Dr. Newman with dementia on the Wednesday before Christmas. Sent him home with prescriptions that we can't get filled because he won't send in the paperwork. Have been trying since to contact his office. No response. This is totally unacceptable!!!
