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.

Disappointing experience
My experience working with Nicole was extremely difficult and left me feeling deeply distressed. Initially, she suggested ADHD medication for my son based on a single word, 'hyperactive,' in an evaluation for a different condition. When I sought her services for my own suspected ADHD, I felt my concerns and the evidence I presented were dismissed. Despite getting a formal evaluation confirming my ADHD, there was significant hesitation in prescribing stimulants, with a suggestion of a possible substance use disorder. As a patient, this caused me considerable emotional distress. Eventually, medication was prescribed, but with a requirement for pill counts, which contributed to feelings of self-doubt. This experience led me to question my diagnosis and caused me emotional distress. I did find another amazingly supportive provider who made me recognize Nicole's treatment of me was not ok.
