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.

She took advantage of my (and my family's) vulnerability while in a crisis/very emotionally fragile state, spouted disinformation, and wrongfully prescribed me an anti-psychotic medication (I have, thankfully, since come under the care of a far more qualified clinician). Dr. Lavigne showed hints of her incompetence in the months leading up to the crisis, but it wasn't until things truly came to a head that she displayed her clinical shortcomings and professional inability. The fact that she possesses a Medical Doctorate is nothing short of frightening to me. Use your sense of discernment and go with your gut when selecting a psychiatrist!

Dr. Lavigne is a very kind person with a very calming presence. She is intelligent ,and is always willing to listen & consider my input. She explains medications & goes over any side effects I might encounter. Dr. Lavigne can be reached after hours with no sign of annoyance. I would highly recommend Dr. Lavigne.

Judgemental and disrespectful to patients. Violated patient confidentiality. Does not listen or consider important case history and previous diagnosis
