“The doctor took a detailed account of things regarding mental and physical health. The questions they asked were knowledgeable and how she explained it back showed me she got the major highlights of my issue. She was able to explain mediation management to me and offer a couple suggestions, refer me and also to set a follow up appointment. I really enjoyed her professionalism and competence with a first visit.”

“i have been under mental health care for over 30 years. I have talked with many Psychiatrists.. Dr. Colon was the most thorough, intuitive, systematic doctor I have ever spoke with. Anyone able to have her for a doctor should consider themselves quite lucky. My only one complaint is she would not consider to take on my case. So I am still at a loss.
She is a good one that's for sure. Knows what questions to ask, avoids getting steered off the path in order to do a proper assessment. 5 Stars for sure”

I was on time and the provider did t connect right away. We had issues with communication. I couldn't hear her and she suggest me to call a number to get assistance I went back to the link trying to avoid missing the appointment and she never reconnected back I will not be reaching out again.

Very knowledge and thoughtful. I felt like she wanted to understand my problems and help work on them rather than just get in and get out with a prescription
