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.

The absolute Best Dr.!

Great help
I haven’t seen Dr. Machlin for about 30 years. I always felt comfortable. He never pressured me to do anything that I didn’t want to do. He was great at sorting things out to get me in the right direction. I couldn’t think of anybody else I would want to see but Dr. Machlin.

I have (unfortunately) met many psychiatrists over the years. Dr. Marlin is, by a wide margin, the most effective mental health practitioner I’ve see. Do yourself a favor.

Dr. Machlin and his team saved my life. I had been in a bad depression with my Bipolar for 11 years. I was able to start to finally lead a normal life again with the great medical treatment I received from Dr. Machlin. He helped me get my life back.

Bright well educated psychiatrist. Empathetic, soft spoken and listens intently. Best psychiatrist I have ever encountered. His staff is equally well trained, helpful and pleasant.
