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.

This psychiatrist has poor bedside manner with no compassion. I took an actively psychotic patient to her that was unable to sleep and very destructive at night. As his nurse I told her that Seroquel 25 mg was not effective and that he needed Trazodone. This so called doctor turned, asked the patient if he needed the drug, he said no and she refused to Rx. Such a waste of time and insulting, she spends less and less time each visit and totally disinterested. I don’t know what kind of psychiatrist this lady is but it’s clear she needs more clinical training.

Completely lacks empathy & kindness. Said I was an addict just looking for more drugs (for a condition I've been diagnosed with by 3 different doctors, including herself). When I teared up after her accusation, she yelled You're just crying to get your way. Uninformed abt various medicines, called Wellbutrin an SSRI & tried to get me on medicines that are only used off-label for ADHD (with poor results). Ignorant, deliberately cruel & definitely should not be working with mentally ill people.
