“Carolyn made me feel comfortable, at ease & welcome right from the beginning. Kind, courteous and easy to laugh took all my anxiety away. For the most part my initial meeting felt more like a great conversation with a new friend rather than a clinical assessment & review. I picked Ms Carolyn based on her background & reviews and the best thing I can say is I was not disappointed.”

    The Psychiatrist was knowledgeable and friendly!
    She’s been great! Very happy to work with her.
    Dr. Carolyne was a great listener I felt like I was really understood and I got the right medication that I needed. She is very quick and very intuitive when it comes to looking at the medical paperwork for a diagnosis and previous diagnosis’s as well. She explained to me that a previous condition I had wasn’t exactly accurate and I felt like I really understood what she was talking about. She was very patient and understanding I highly recommend her.
    Loved her can’t wait for my next appointment easy to talk too she listened, and even made me laugh which I haven’t done in a while
    Verified patient
    We have had negative experiences in the past with doctors and this was an amazing reminder that there are caring and kind practitioners out there.
    She's easy to talk to and has a good sense of humor. I probably sound insane a mile a minute and she was just patient and helpful. Suggested medication, but didn't push. I have a follow up in two weeks. Psychiatry is an important component to anyone dealing with actual mental health issues, not just being "sad" once in a while. Having a medical doctor/nurse alongside a talk therapist if you want is totally necessary in understanding what issues you may have, and be properly diagnosed.
    Verified patient
    The appointment was very efficient and Carolyn made sure to get the right amount of information about my situation and medical history. I look forward to seeing her in the future.
    Verified patient
    Approachable, attentive, and helpful.
    I’ve only had one session so far, but it was the smoothest easiest and most efficient session I’ve had in years. Very receptive and listens to my requests. Very professional and kind, but also straightforward. Make sure to fill out the proper paperwork sent to your email before hand!
    My first appointment living here in Boston was perfect Dr Carolyne Maury Gerena was very Knowledgeable and caring to took much time and patience with me
    Verified patient
    Efficient and thoughtful!
    Carolyne is a wonderful provider! From my very first appointment with her, she has made me feel comfortable and at ease. She is a great listener (and funny!), empathetic, and makes me feel heard with every visit. She has always been very responsive and has gotten back to me quickly when I have reached out with any questions or concerns. She truly cares and makes it a point to schedule a follow up appointment each visit. Thanks for being a great caregiver!
    Highly recommend !
    I feel so lucky that I found Dr. Mburu-Gerena! She exudes warmth, even over video chat, and is a great listener and altogether kind person. In my consultation she was professional, focused, and seemed genuinely invested in my wellbeing. I am excited to keep working with her and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a mental health professional in MA!!
