Dr Laura Davies is by far the most caring and knowledgeable psychiatrist I’ve worked with. She takes the time to understand what is going on and work through issues on a deeper level. She creates a safe space for being vulnerable and makes you feel very supported through difficult times. Could not recommend more highly!

Dr. Davies is an experienced and knowledgable Dr. It was easy to build a trusted relationship with her from the start. I like that she allows me to be part of the conversation in terms of my care. Dr. Davies also doesn't sugar coat anything, which really works for me. I'm never unsure about what path to take after speaking with her.

Dr Davies did a great job of listening to my concerns and addressing them. She was polite, kind, and compassionate, I felt very comfortable opening up to her about my past problems which is rare for me.
Although the appointment was only 50 minutes, Dr Davies not only gave me a spot on diagnosis, but a positive direction of therapy as well.
Today session was life changing for me, thank you again Dr Davies.

Dr. Davies is an exceptional professional who truly stands out in her field. I've never worked with a psychiatrist as attentive and caring as she is. She takes the time to listen and thoroughly address any issues, ensuring that I never feel rushed. Her personalized approach to treatment makes a significant difference, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and insightful professional with a holistic approach to treatment. Additionally, she consistently follows up with an email summarizing our discussions and remains incredibly responsive. Having worked with her for several months, I feel safe and heard in her care, and I greatly appreciate her dedication.

Dr. Davies is an excellent provider and a kind human being. She is extremely thorough and considers many factors, taking the time to understand your background and lifestyle. She treats you as an individual and you can feel confident that you are in good hands.

High recommend Dr. Laura. She always makes me feel heard, and considers my opinions before suggesting me with multiple options she selects to best match my requirements. She also explains everything thoroughly and always treats me like another intelligent individual. When I had negative reactions to certain medications, she was quick to help me find alternatives without forcing me to continue taking them like other Drs have previously telling me I needed more time to adjust. She also follows up with me when I forget, and checks in on me to make sure I am properly adjusting. Highly recommend.

I had been seeing the same psychiatrist for several years and moved to CA and needed a new Doctor. I was nervous to find a new provider, but I found Dr. Davies and she’s been so great in every way! Empathetic, smart and great communication. Responds to emails quickly, she’s a 10/10!

My appointment with Dr. Davies was excellent from start to finish. She clearly communicated with me prior to our appointment, listened incredibly well and provided great information to me during and after the appointment. Her upbeat and empathetic manner was so helpful in feeling comfortable with a new provider. She provided me information and advice that previous providers had not about my condition and medications, and I felt incredibly well-cared for. I highly recommend Dr. Davies!
