“I have been receiving psycho care for going on 10 years now. In that time have I never felt as comfortable and cared for as I have with Nurse Mekessia Richard’s-Carby. I have just started seeing her and I can confidently say she is top tier. She is attentive not only during the appointment but also pre and post appointment. She is the least judgmental and most respectful person I have ever met in the medical field let alone psych. She is what the medical field needs.”
