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. Bloos has helped me re-direct my mind and therefore live a more comfortable life. I am extremely grateful to her. She is an amazing professional. She is compassionate, caring, and knowledgeable. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

I have been a patient of Dr.Bloos since 2013. She has helped me immensely with past trauma issues and family related problems. Dr. Bloos is also extensively trained in EMDR treatment. She is extremely professional, compassionate and makes herself readily accessible if I’m in need of immediate assistance. I would highly recommend Dr. Bloos to anyone seeking a professional psychiatrist to help with an array of issues.

I was diagnosed with CD in 2011 and told I needed to seek counseling for my disorder. Little did I know how difficult that would be. I researched and made calls till finally I was led to Dr. Bloos. She is very experienced in her field and has dedicated herself to helping me to understand my disorder, which is very complicated. I thank her for how far I've come would recommend her to anyone in need of therapy.

The woman is very unprofessional and crass. I had wait an hour and 45 minutes after scheduled appointment time. She should not be allowed to treat anyone with any mental health problems. The VA should take a second look at who is representing them when taking care of their veterans. She is not an MD, and has no board certifications listed for her.

Dr. Bloos is an unprofessional hack. As a teenager my mom brought me to her for cognitive testing and therapy (I'm 30 now) and she suggested that when my older step brother molested me, we were just "kids messing around." That still makes my blood boil to think about. And now she is doing mental health evaluations for the Marion VA Hospital, for disability claims, and making our Veterans wait hours at a time just for her to come in and talk to them for 30 minutes.
