Had a great initial evaluation. The doctor asked a lot of questions to get a full picture of my mental health. I feel like she really listened and was interested in finding the best treatment plan for my individual needs. She also explained the reasons for her decisions, which is something I truly appreciate. Highly recommend!

all expectations met.
More than 1 year agoJM
Ekaete was very courteous and professional and had appointments available outside of the work week, which is super helpful for working professionals (almost everybody!). Since I'm a new pt, she prescribed me a couple doses to give me time to assemble documentation rather than just denying me a med I've been on for 3 years - very helpful!
