Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

I have been under his care for over 12 years. In that time frame, he has helped me to transform my life. I went from being extremely depressed and anxious to a stable and content person with a full life. Best gift of all is that I learned how to love myself. I recommend him to everyone that has the means to work with him because I have 100% confidence in him. He is one of a kind. I feel incredibly grateful to have found him.

After seeing a previous male therapist that I didn't feel comfortable with, I switched to Dr Scandinaro and couldnt be happier. He makes you feel very comfortable to share difficult matters and feelings. I have seen a huge improvement in my confidence and self-worth that I had struggled to with for a long time. Overall, my life has improved considerably since working with him.
