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. Safar met with me and my wife to understand better the situation and helped us in a difficult time.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Safar?
Dr Safar is the absolute best in the business. She has taken such good care of me. She is super intelligent and always has great medical advice. I am 43 years old and bipolar. I have tried working with several psychiatrists in the past. She is the best by far. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.
