Dr. Dudu was fabulous. My mom and grandma are nurses and I’ve been to a lot of doctors, and felt very comfortable working with her. She took her time and I could tell I had her attention as a listener and it felt that she really cared about getting me the best care and making sure we were both on the same page about my health. I look forward to following up with her and would recommend her for psych care!

I didn’t feel listened to at all. Overall I’m being asked to be put on a brand new prescription and wean off two meds two weeks before a major life event when I’m already having severe symptoms. I did not feel supported or listened to at all. It was a terrible experience.
