Interview with Dr. Happened gast and was through. Document uploads was easy. Communication was relatively quick and responsive. Overall great service

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with HandicapMD and Dr. Jackson-Scott. After struggling for months, I felt completely defeated because my regular doctor refused to approve my SDI. he simply didn’t understand my limitations or the impact my condition has on my daily life. I left every appointment feeling dismissed and unheard.

That all changed when I connected with HandicapMD.

From the moment I met Dr. Jackson-Scott, I felt truly listened to for the first time. He was incredibly compassionate, patient, and thorough. He took the time to understand my symptoms, how they affect my ability to work, and the realistic challenges I face. Instead of brushing off my concerns, he validated them.

Dr. Jackson-Scott completed my SDI paperwork promptly and accurately, and I genuinely felt like he cared about my well-being. His professionalism and empathy made an emotionally stressful process so much easier. I am beyond grateful for his support and expertise.

If you’re struggling to get your SDI approved or feeling dismissed by your current provider, I highly recommend HandicapMD and Dr. Jackson-Scott. Their service has been a true lifesaver for me.

Thank you again — your help is so deeply appreciated

I would like to thank Ena and Dr. Jackson-Scott for helping me with my medical request. They went above and beyond. Five star service and highly recommended.

Additional update: Got multiple threats from this company after writing this review and disputing with bank, including threats for fees that are illegal under CA state law. My bank sided with me due to overwhelming evidence of wrongdoing. So don't let them gaslight you when they break promises.

UPDATE: Hours after posting this review, HandicapMD contacted me for the first time in 7 days.
The provider claimed "none of the clinics in California are completing these evaluations within days — that simply isn't how the process works anywhere in the state."
This is a lie.
After HandicapMD failed to deliver, I hired California Psychological Associates. Dr. Eric M. Greene completed my identical EDD disability certification the same day (November 21, 2025). My EDD claim was continued the next morning, with the payment immediately sent out to me.

HandicapMD's response proves their pattern:

Ghost customers while taking their money
Only respond when customer takes action (dispute/review)
Gaslight customers with provably false claims
Attempt to discredit legitimate complaints

This response strengthens my complaint rather than refuting it.

AVOID THIS COMPANY - They prey on disabled people facing urgent deadlines.
What Happened:

Advertised price: "$189 per month for ongoing certification"
Actual charge: $756 upfront ($189 + $567 for "2-4th month" - unauthorized future charges)
Services delivered: ZERO

The Appointment (November 17, 2025):
The doctor was 20 minutes late to the telehealth appointment. When he finally joined, he used classic emotional manipulation tactics:

"I can hear it in your voice how much this has been for you"
"I don't see any reason why you'd be disqualified"
"We will reach out if we need any more info"

These reassurances were designed to make me feel heard and safe - to ensure I wouldn't dispute the charge. They were lies.

Timeline:

November 17: Paid $756 immediately, had telehealth appointment
Provider said forms would be done "most likely by Friday, November 21"
Provider said "if we need anything else we will reach out to you"
November 21 (Friday, 2:05 PM): Sent status update request via patient portal
Message marked "Delivered" but NEVER ANSWERED
November 21 (Friday, 9:13 PM): Still no forms, no communication
I was forced to hire emergency alternative provider same day for $750 to meet my California EDD deadline. If I hadn't, my entire claim would have been closed and multiple months of benefits lost.

Total financial harm: $1,506 ($756 to HandicapMD for nothing + $750 for actual service)

The Pattern:
After reading other reviews here, I see this is HandicapMD's business model:

Charge inflated prices upfront (often more than advertised)
Promise fast completion
Go completely silent
Force desperate disabled people to pay someone else or miss critical deadlines
Refuse refunds using illegal contract terms

Illegal Contract Terms:
Their Terms of Use (which I signed under deadline pressure) include:

$99 "dispute fee" for filing legitimate consumer complaints
Threat to "withhold clinician-signed forms until dispute is withdrawn" (illegal retaliation)
60-day wait requirement designed to exhaust credit card dispute windows
"No refunds" even if they fail to deliver services

Red Flags I Missed:

My bank's fraud detection system flagged the $756 charge as suspicious
The provider's name (Dr. Eric Jackson-Scott) appears in other negative reviews about non-delivery
Multiple recent reviews describe identical experiences

Why This is Particularly Harmful:
HandicapMD targets disabled people who:

Face strict government deadlines (EDD, Social Security, placard renewals)
Have limited alternatives because regular doctors won't complete disability paperwork
Are desperate and under time pressure
Can't afford to lose disability income

If You're Considering HandicapMD:
DON'T. Find a local provider who will help. Yes, it's harder. Yes, it takes longer to schedule. But you'll actually get your forms completed.

If You've Already Paid HandicapMD:

File a credit card/debit card dispute immediately
File a complaint with your state Attorney General
File an FTC complaint at reportfraud.ftc.gov
Don't wait for them to respond - they won't

My bank flagged this transaction as fraudulent before I even received the service. The bank's own security systems recognized this charge as suspicious. They were right.

HandicapMD deserves more than five stars. The doctor actually takes the time to listen, understand, and explain things clearly. The support team is unbelievably responsive and made everything so easy from start to finish. Truly exceptional service — way above what I expected

Great team of folks. The doctor listens, explains, is down to earth and isn’t pushy or makes you feel hurried. Office staff was great when I had a question.

My experience with Dr. Jackson-Scott was great. He was responsive, thorough with his evaluations, and quick to send me the requested documents. I highly recommend HandicapMD!

Definitely recommend!! Doctor and staff were so friendly and helpful! Easy booking, excellent service, and just an all around fantastic experience. Thank you!

Today I received my handicap placard from my state's DMV. The entire process took about a month. I did have to upload my medical records. Dr. Jackson-Scott missed our video appointment at first, but called me shortly thereafter and apologized. He was so kind and listened to all of my concerns. I was approved the same day. I am very thankful for this service because it's difficult for me to attend in-person appointments.

Very friendly staff always willing to assist regardless of what is being asked. Worked with me on two occasions both times were extremely pleasant. Would recommend!

Wonderful experience. Making an appointment was quick and easy. Once the doctor gave the okay got my forms in the mail in a timely manner and submitted it to the DMV. Highly recommend using Handicap MD.

The general process step by step was easy to follow through the portal. Also, the office remained responsive throughout the process so I knew what to expect. My Dr was very professional, and had read my charts before we met. Would recommend to others.

Thanks for the services provided very helpful

Dr. Jackson-Scott and Team took great care of me regarding access to a handicap placard. Many thanks for all of your help and support throughout the process.

The doctor and staff were great. At first the doctor did not make the call on time however he quickly called me back letting me know he had another meeting go on longer than usual. Its great when people are able to follow up versus leaving you in the dark. The doctor was very understanding and made the process easy and painless. I would definitely recommend coming here.

Very fast very responsive to questions really appreciate all the help

Dr Jackson is super knowledgeable and super down to earth. LITTERALLY one of the top 2 MDs based on smoothness, personableness, knowledge.
I never leave reviews so if you happen to see this comment, please take my advice. See Dr Jackson.

Dr. Jackson-Scott listened to me with care. I had a great experience! Thanks!

It was an easy straightforward process. Dr. Was kind and easy to talk to. Thank you for helping make the process less stressful.

The doctor is a real person. Meaning he will listen and evaluate you medically with a heart and realistic expectations. He is for the people. This was the best decision as other doctors have diagnosed me with conditions but fail to take the time to give the accommodations needed. Even when there were questions, and revision needed (requested from my job) he acted fast and was personable. Thank you for the gentle hand, sir!
