“I have had bad experiences with 2 local providers. I had given up on medication management for focus but realized I couldn't function like that. On a wild and desperate whim, after researching for over a week! I took a shot and chose this doctor. I figured if it didn't work out I would keep looking. I made the appointment at 11.30am wednesday and saw her the next day on thursday at 11am. She was amazing. I had previously seen one nurse psych who did not reply to my contacting her about serious medication side effects and then she never called in my new Rx. Luckily, I took a shot and got lucky. This psychiatrist is kind, collaborative, listens, is engaged, and thorough. I am looking forward to having her on my team of medical professionals i trust.”
