ESTHER K.

I am a licensed, Ph.D. Level, Clinical Psychologist, I am smart. I have subscribed to and used Consumer Reports for more than 30 years, I trust their work and never disappointed by their recommendations.
Every one of the people I have used that were recommended by Checkbook have been WONDERFUL. Checkbook's problem is that there are scam review services out there that make $$$$$ for and from their reviews. The other problem is that there are not enough people like me who subscribe to Checkbook and provide reviews. So some topics, parts of the city, have very too few reviewers or reviews that would provide recommendations.
What I KNOW is that no one gets a +++ review because they paid for it. What I also know is that a service that once existed but is no longer did have a way for businesses to pay for good reviews.
In last 10 years I have gotten very good auto service, appliance repair, hearing aids, electrical service, dry cleaners and plumbers based on Chicago Checkbook's reviews. I give Chicago Checkbook permission to share information about my membership.
