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.

Dr Vail is kind, astute, and very knowledgeable. Simply put, she’s excellent.

I really respect and like Dr. Vail, she is such a compassionate and knowledgeable psychiatrist. I wish there were more doctors like her that listen and care as much as she does. She goes above and beyond to help her patients.

I see all these amazing reviews but my husband was referred to her several weeks ago for moderate depression and anxiety . I have left a voice mail checking the status of his referral once a week x 3 weeks now and not so much as a call back to let me know anything .I don’t know if her office staff have let her know about the calls but as a Nurse myself I find this very unprofessional.

Dr Vail is a kind and cheerful psychiatrist. She is very knowledgeable about medications, always paying close attention to their uses, benefits, and possible side effects. She chooses the best medications in the most appropriate amounts for my unique needs. She also gives practical sound advice that helps better my behavior as it relates to my illness, ultimately helping me to live a better life.

This woman ruined my life. She put me on antipsychotics and switched those four days in a row when she didn't see the results she wanted to see. She labeled me bipolar and sent me on my way. I continued to get worse until I finally went Houston Methodist where they told me she was wrong for doing all that and that I did NOT have bipolar disorder. It was all the meds!! I Did things so out of character on those drugs.There are still days I do not remember. How many are being misdiagnosed bc of her
