First time during a psychiatric intake where I felt like the provider actually cared and listened to me. Granted, I have only seen nurse practitioners in the past, but I saw a vast difference in Dr. Vickerson's approach. It's safe to say that an NP is not an adequate replacement for a good psychiatrist. I'm excited to work with him and trust that he has my best interest in heart!
