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.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Korah?
Dr. Korah repeatedly and outright refused to discuss my son’s care with both me and his regular psychiatrist, even with all appropriate HIPPA forms had been signed and submitted. She avoided all interaction even though she was well aware that I was in the hospital waiting room for 13 hours for the sole purpose of discussing my son. She only sent her resident to speak on her behalf, who did not have the specifics of the case. The resident was instructed to also flat out refuse to allow me to meet
