Wonderful experience with my daughter seeing Kristel. She was great with both of us. Explained everything to me and made my daughter feel very comfortable. Her medication adjustments are working well and Kristel was available for all of our questions before follow up. A truly excellent provider.

Kristel was warm, kind and so knowledgeable. She explained everything to me so that I would understand how the medication would work and what to look out for. She eased all my fears about starting medication and I'm so grateful.
