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.

Below Average, especially for price
Dr. K tried got me to 3-4 sessions a week and after a few years I realized I had made no progress and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in the process. I tried to address it but he just got defensive and spoke about his 'waiting list' of patients...cut the cord and find better.

Would tell anyone I care about to avoid him as a therapist. He perhaps would do well in (art) sales but definitely not a compassionate or empathetic therapist. Luckily there are a lot of therapists in NYC and I found a much more competent therapist after leaving him!

Disappointed patient – Sep 20, 2021

I thought I would have hard time opening up since I felt weird telling personal things but Dr. Khalife helped me realize I’m not the only one who feels like this. Just talking with him helped me a lot and made me feel better.

Dr. Khalife has been a wonderful Doctor and has been supportive through some of my most difficult times. He is caring and compassionate, but also honest and straightforward so not one of these regular head-nodding therapists, which I appreciate. I highly recommend him.
