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.

He speaks more than he listens, to an uncomfortable degree. He often repeats information over and over again and does not stay on topic or on track. Quick appointments or follow ups become long winded expositions. During our last phone interaction (during which my therapist was listening the entire time on speaker, known to both parties), I politely tried to focus him back to my issue and he became offended, during which point we argued it was determined that another provider would need to be found. Even after this awkward and hostile exchange, he proceeded to repeat much of the same instructions to me as before. Eventually, I just had to hang up because it had been over an hour on the phone and my therapist and I were shocked at the direction of the conversation.

I was a patient of his for two years. He would book me for an hour long appointment when it should have been a quick check in, and spend the whole time talking about himself. It was uncomfortable and frustrating.

I have been Chris' patient for more than one year, and I appreciate his warm and somewhat bemused demeanor. I also appreciate his depth of knowledge regarding nutrition, environment, and medicine that make his observations and suggestions fresh, reasonable and achieveable. I feel we have developed a healthy therapeutic relationship and look forward to working together for some time to come.

He does not listen. He also repeats the same information over and over again not recalling he has already told you. I felt he was unsympathetic and uncaring as a provider. Go somewhere else if you are struggling.
