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.

I had my first visit with Dr. Heistand today and was very impressed with her ability to be both clear and direct in her perspective about what was needed and very kind sensitive and understanding of the challenges I was dealing with. She's very skillful, thorough and clearly has a great depth of experience. I really felt cared for and left feeling much more open and with many options I'd not considered before. I highly recommend her!

Dr Heistand has been my psychiatrist for a few months now. I have DID, PTSD and Depression so I’m considered a complicated patient. She has helped me so much. She is kind, caring and carful about what she prescribes. I’m so happy to have her as my psychiatrist!
