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.

Wonderful, honest and down to earth
Telehealth
Dr. Salzbrenner is a wonderful psychiatrist who genuinely prioritizes the well-being of his patients. I have been seeing Dr. Salzbrenner for almost 2 years and have nothing but good things to say about him. He takes the time to listen attentively and make sure that you feel heard and understood. His compassionate approach makes it easy to open up, even if that is something you struggle with. He has a remarkable ability to initiate meaningful conversations that uncover the root of any issue. He is truly dedicated to providing the best possible care and brings your opinions into consideration when choosing the most effective treatment. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking thoughtful, effective psychiatric care.

One of the First Psychiatrists to Truly Listen
Telehealth
The first meeting was very thorough and Dr. Salzbrenner was very attentive and understanding. I felt very comfortable sharing my experiences with him and he clearly listened. The explanation for treatment options was very helpful. I know it can be hard to meet with a new provider but this was certainly worth it. I have hope for recovery for the first time in a while!

Answers and proof I never expected
Telehealth
By the time I met Dr. Salzbrenner on my health journey I was desperate for answers. I can gladly say Dr. Salzbrenner helped provide me with the answers I didn't even know I needed.Meeting Dr. Salzbrenner gave me hope because he helped administer the neurological DNA test which helped prove I was struggling for much longer and much more than anyone could ever truly understand. While receiving counseling along with the information the neurological DNA exam provided I was better able to build on my strong foundation while building up healthy mechanisms to continue to learn, accept and function in my new life. With the help from Dr. Salzbrenner and his health team, I have been able to maintain a stable and accepting attitude with my new life. I have gladly recommended Dr. Salzbrenner to my friends, community members and relatives that may be struggling with psychological and mental health issues.

He's patient and has a calming voice. Really cares and is genuinely interested in his patient's lives. Knows meds/got me out of depression in 6 mos. Good about returning his messages, sometimes following up with a phone call as opposed to the portal. He has a quirky sense of humor which is a plus. He is also a faith-filled man.

A doctor that learns and teaches.
Dr Salzbrenner is both a professor of Psychiatry and a learner. There have been times when patient experiences provide insights that he uses in teaching his students. No stale knowledge here. He stays on top of modern medicine.
