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 took my very ill son to see Dr, Sandra, I was charged $600.00 for a first visit. I would pay any amount of money to get help for my son. The second visit the doctor did not show up, no sign on the office door or call my home. I thought maybe he had an emergency so I kept calling over several days and left my name and number. It is now months later and I still have not heard from him nor has my $600.00 been returned.

Happy to have met Dr Sanders
Dr Sanders is a very smart, kind and caring doctor. He’s helped me throughout the most difficult time in my life. He uses his sense of humor to lighten the atmosphere. It creates a safe space to process information together. His hours are always convenient, and he calls back with scripts almost immediately. BIG PERK DR SANDERS LOVES DOGS

If you’re looking for a psychiatrist who lacks self-awareness, is narcissistic, and has so many nervous tics it will leave you wondering if you should be the therapist instead, then Dr. Michael Sanders is your man.

I have been under Dr. Sanders care for 4 years now. He is extremely professional, returns all my calls. Dr. Sanders is the only psychiatric who was able to control my medical needs. Never had any problems.

AVOID - went through withdrawals because he could not be reached for a refill. Began trying to contact him a month in advance. Trusted I would get in touch before I ran out. Was a loyal patient for many years. My bad for not finding a new doc sooner. Happily moved on.

Dr Sanders is great! I highly reccomend him as he is very easy to talk to and has a great personality. He is very accomodating to your schedule and your time! I have been seeing him for well over 2 years now and I plan to continue working with him indefinitely.

This guy's ivy league medical degree and medical practice are a joke...beyond the fact that Dr. Sanders is a rude individual (see people's previous reviews), he's utterly incompetent and does not recognize or treat mental illness as aggressively as required, mostly because he neither pays enough attention to nor sufficiently cares about his patients (and other care team members consider him rude and incompetent as well). Avoid at all costs.

Dr. Sanders if very unprofessional. He does not show up for appointments or call to reschedule. He prescribes you medicine, however, will leave you hanging if you need it refilled, which is extremely dangerous. He has been rude and short at times, like he does not care about his patients needs. I do not reccomend him to anyone and will be filing further grievances for his actions to his patients in need.

Dr. Sanders is the only psychiatrist I know who actually wants to see his patients succeed instead of being chained down with a variety of pills. Dr. Sanders saved my life. Although Dr. Sanders and I don't always see eye to eye regarding treatments, ultimately I know Dr. Sanders has my best interests at heart. He is also very funny. He also went to Yale.
