November 23, 2025Melissa R.Verified patient
This was my very first psychiatry appointment, so I was definitely a bit nervous going in. Dr. Jessica was incredibly kind, fully attentive, and really took the time to listen to my history. I shared suggestions on how I’d feel most comfortable moving forward, and she genuinely took them into consideration when deciding on a treatment plan. She made me feel completely at ease and even matched my bubbly personality to help me feel comfortable, all while remaining professional. I left feeling heard, supported, and confident in the care I’ll be receiving. Highly recommend!

The process was quick. The appointment was the next day. The nurse practitioner was very nice. She listened. She understood everything I was saying. She was well informed regarding drugs. She was a pleasure.
April 3, 2025Helena R.Verified patient
I was very happy with my appointment. When I booked on Zocdoc I was shocked to find an appointment for mental health provider for the next business day! Most providers only have months away. She was excellent, very thorough and knowledgeable. She was able to prescribe the medication I needed. She took her time with me, I did not feel rushed, and she started our visit only a few minutes after our scheduled time, which I appreciated. I will be seeing her again in a few weeks and will be looking on Zocdoc for other specialists that I have to see but was not able to get appointments for until 5 months away. This is my first experience using Zocdoc and I am very happy with the service.
