    Had a great first appointment. Dr. Michael was to the point, but not in a way that makes you feel rushed. He was easy to talk to and by the end of our session, we had a good game plan, in which I'll be following up in 2 weeks. I feel very confident with this provider. As a previous Psych RN, he is way more personable than the providers I was used to dealing with. I would definitely recommend.
