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.

An excellent Psychiatrist
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Nelson for years. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor, not a therapist, so his job is to identify how modern medicine can work for your particular needs. He is also very aware of what therapies would be appropriate for you. He has helped me tremendously.

Dr. John Nelson (in Ojai, CA.) is an egotistical self-centered narcissist with little or no empathy. He uses his ability to write perscritptions as a way of taking his patients hostage. I have suffered from panic attacks, social anxiety, and depression for over 35 years. Other Psychiatrists have prescribed adequate amounts of Lorazapam to me, wheras Dr. John Nelson (Ojai) has not treated me in accordance with the Hippocratic Oath. I would never recomend him as a Psychiatrist to anyone in need.
