“Dr. Gravenstein is amazing. He was kind, thorough, and I finally feel like I had a well-rounded and quality psychiatric consult. He is the third psychiatrist ive met with in my life and by far the best one. He took his time to get to know me and my needs and gave me such intelligent insight. Mental health is just as important as physical health and I truly believe in Dr. Gravenstein's ability to help me get back on track and live an even healthier life than I ever have. ”

This company accepted my instructions and booked my appointment. That very next day I received a text message saying my appointment was canceled by the Dr. . From then on I have been receiving inquiries about how my session went.
Should I receive any sort of bill, legal action will be taken.

My first appointment with Dr. G was extremely positive and reassuring. They conducted a very thorough evaluation while maintaining a calm, professional demeanor throughout the visit. Dr.G took the time to ask thoughtful questions, review my history, and clearly explain possible treatment approaches without making me feel rushed.
