Personable and knowledgeable.
November 29, 2024Ashley F.Verified patientVideo visit
He is a psychiatrist not a therapist. He did his job well and if anything went a little above. He asked just the right questions it may seem a little too personal but he has to know how to help you. It was intense but I felt confident and like I was in good hands I got my medicine same day and my appointment too. Very progressional straight to the point.

February 26, 2024Brandon S.Verified patientVideo visit
Akeem listen to my issues and concerns but ultimately could not diagnose. I am in the same position I was at the beginning of the appointment which is frustrating.
February 15, 2024Richard H.Verified patientVideo visit
The provider was very patient and a good listener. He took the time to show that he listened to my problem and made good recommendations for next steps and options.
November 28, 2023Anthony J.Verified patientVideo visit
Am at my breaking point and explained that very much so. Because of my passed I am being judged for something that happened years ago and now I am continuing to suffer and he will not listen to my issues and now will continue to be in a breakdown and become even worse due to this
