“Mikael is a highly intelligent practitioner, and it's clear he uses this skill for the betterment of his patients. Other psychiatric prescribers rush you off the phone, don't listen, and don't explain, but Mikael was the complete opposite. He attentively listened to my entire history, laid out all my options, and made me truly feel like I had a say in my treatment plan. It's so clear that he really enjoys what he does and wants to help you. I couldn't recommend him enough. ”
