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.

Beware of him and his team
Same as the first comment. He does NOT listen to the patient. He neglected to include my blood pressure meds and prescribed a low dose of an anti-depressant med instead of the higher dose which was on my hospital chart. I caught the mistake. He kept me in hospital for an extra week because of his negligence. I spoke with 3 nurses and they confirmed my impression of him. One told me to file a complaint with the Patient Relations Dept. which I did. They will submit the complaint to the Quality Care dept. My advice is that if you go to Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, NY for a psychiatric emergency do not let them admit you as an in-patient. because the other doctor is just as bad. I also filed a complaint with my insurance company.

Misdiagnosed me, lied to my face 3 times, denied me critical medication and poisoned me with an unjustified antipsychotic against my will. Failed to file my request for mental health legal advocacy services and locked me up illegally.
