I needed help and they were able to make the appointment in less than 24hrs. No long wait at the appointment and the staff was friendly.
Verified patient
Super great care! The office staff is friendly and my orders were taken care of immediately after the appointment. Good amount of appointment reminders with easy telehealth instructions. Only reason I’m not staying in her care is because she doesn’t specialize in the mental health services I’m seeking. HOWEVER this office is a good option for neurodivergent patients to take care of basic mental health needs and other appropriate ailments. Really good listener who is honest about the care she’s providing.

After 10 min on the phone, the provider assumed that I had depression. No assessment was done. The provider had the appointment via telephone instead of virtual. It was a very unpleasant experience.
Verified patientVideo visit
Office staff was not responding, after my visit, doctor said I will receive rx in 30 mins, but I waited for 2 hours, I called the office almost 10 times no one responded, I drove all the way 40 miles back to just get the rx,

She Was very rude . when I said “Hi “ two times she insisted not to reply and she said “ May I help you “ . I booked my appointment for weight loss consultation. before getting any information or ask about anything concerning me she said “ I don’t write medicine for weight loss .( Wants to end the appointment with zero benefit , it took less than a minute ) . It seems that she is not in a good mood which is her responsibility not me . Ugly attitude .

Everything was great. No long hours waiting, I think I waited maybe 5 mins after I was done with the paperwork. Very clean, low traffic and definitely very knowledgeable.

She was very knowledgeable, she answered all my questions and seem to know her stuff! The front desk was not as friendly but the doctor was great!
Verified patient
My appointment was a 3 and they took about 40 minutes to see me, I didn’t mind the waiting but the fact that they didn’t give an estimated time was ridiculous. Receptionist weren’t nice and let’s not talk about the nurse that helped me, very rude, seemed like she didn’t want to be there at all. I get it, we’re humans and get tired but being plain rude for no reason cmon
Verified patient
She was very nice, but was listed in search for Psychiatric medication consultation, even though not a Psychiatrist. She told me she couldn’t prescribe the anxiety medication I needed, but did offer to increase my dosage for the medication I have been taking that hasn’t helped. She said she would prescribe something for sleep. The different dosage of the medication I already have was sent to pharmacy, but not the sleep med. i called the office and left a voicemail which hasn’t been answered.

Alena was absolutely amazing. Very attentive and showed concern. Love her and I’ve only met her once....However, her nurse seemed to have an attitude and have the feeling she didn’t want to be there.

First tele visit experience. Forms were a little overwhelming. Thought I was going to lose my appointment at one point. This practitioner was very understanding and compassionate. Compassion goes a long way in these times. If you are a struggling nurse, please reach out . We are all overwhelmed

Verified patient
My visit went well! It was the first time I had done a virtual visit, so I was a bit nervous. But her bedside manner was great! She was listened to my issues and allowed me to explain in detail what I felt. I really appreciated that, because physicians usually don’t do that part very well. I’m excited for her plan if treatment and to see how it goes! I highly recommend her and her staff!
