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 told this Dr that I was doing great on the current medication my previous Dr had me on..he re evaluated me, told me I was misdiagnosed from my previous Dr. He told me he was taking one med away and increasing the dose on another and that would help with the depression.. I was like??I just told you I’m doing great, I’m no longer depressed.. I will never go back to this Dr.. He totally ignored anything I tried to tell him.. He is doing more harm than good..

This doctor is terrible, he’s now located at altapointe in Mobile, Al . But he decided today that he needed to re-diagnose me and say that I didn’t have ADHD after 20 years of me having it and then proceeded to take me off the one medication I’ve taken for YEARS. I would not go to this quack ever again, save your money and your time.

My appointment was today with Dr. Ramnarine Boodoo, he did not make me feel welcome, and he did not introduce himself to me, I felt uncomfortable, mistrust and degraded by him. He is unprofessional, condescending, no people skills, he treated me like an object rude and disrespectful. He does not care about people and their feelings. I have been diagnosed with major depressive and generalized anxiety disorder for over 20 years and been tested for ADHA as well. Consequently, Dr. Ramnarine Boodoo

Rude, arrogant, condescending, ill-mannered, unprofessional and the worst "doctor" I've ever seen. He can't even make his office presentable. After going through an "interrogation" with this guy, I looked up reviews on him and every review on this website is 100% correct. He needs to step down from his high horse and start treating people with respect. And he needs to get all of the facts about his patients instead of just making assumptions. I'll NEVER go back to this office again.

I saw him today and literally every review for this man is what I experienced. He told me the medication I have been on for ELEVEN YEARS was wrong and every doctor who had diagnosed me over those years (SIX) was wrong. He made me incredibly uncomfortable and asked me non stop invasive questions about my childhood. Did not ask me anything about my current life. I wanted to run out crying and have been so upset second guessing the past decade of my healthcare until I read these reviews.

extremely condisending.Spent maybe 10 minutes as he asked misc. questions concerning my life As well as the last several months (on meds). After all this he deduced that my previous diagnosis was wrong contrary to 2 physician assistance from that office as well as the previous MD, along with my GP and refused to refill. And then went so far as to say the medication that I have been on the last 2yrs doesnt workand demanded he change it. I will not go back. Can't see anyone else there per him.

He is somewhat young, and very pretentious and narcissistic. He is very condescending of medications that have been prescribed by the previous doctors as if he is so much more intelligent and qualified above them. I have been taking the same medication and dosage for 4 years (which is half of the short time he has even been in practice) and he refused to give me the prescription! He also makes false accusations when he has never treated the patient and is just assuming. Worst doctor by far!

He did not have a welcoming demeanor. He talked down to me. He said he was recommending a change in medication and when I questioned him he was defensive. I do not think I can return to him. I did not feel heard or taken seriously. He had an idea of my disorder and refused to be questioned.
