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.

My son is was released and cleared by her and was in a manic state. I called her multiple times and never even got an answer.

I waited in the ER for this doctor at New bridge for over 8 hours. After her full nights sleep she came in to see my child for about ten minutes, then forced me to admit them to the hell hole hospital she works for. She does psych evals at New Bridge, and directs the patient to be admitted if she feels necessary. Problem is, that same patient will experience further trauma in the hospital she works for. Dr. Thorpe, you forced me to admit my child one morning, they were in that hellish place for 5 days, came home more traumatized, and on new medications the other phony doctor Hall prescribed that made them want to jump out of their skin. You didn't help my child. You didn't save them from suicide, you further damaged them by forcing inpatient "treatment" except, that hospital is not treatment, it's a real life nightmare. Like the way institutions are back in 1920's. Don't be proud or feel like you're doing adolescents any good. Take a look at the "treatment" these kids get in that pl

on all sites it says she is accepting new patients. I called for my daughters to be seen, she abruptly said she wasn't taking new clients and said good luck then hung up.
