She just listens and is rational about the care she gives. I currently pay out of pocket because my insurance isn't accepted due to her not being a Kaiser provider; however, I continue to do so because she is great!

I had a very pleasant experience and I'd recommend it. Your mental health is the provider's responsibility. You will be right at home.
she was a good listener and offered me natural suggestions to help with my anxiety/ptsd, as well as prescribing me something in case the naturals did not Alleviate or make tolerable the symptoms. i would recommend her, very good beside manner

The representative “April” answering the phones on Tuesday July 12th is a HUGE disappointment. I have never had the displeasure of speaking to someone so crass and rude at a medical facility. The way she speaks to you is DEGRADING and she does not care to hear about anything that you have to say! WHY would you have someone answering the phones being the first line of contact and they act like you’re a problem and you should have never bothered to call? If you try to set up an appointment or call for anything and “April” picks up..just hang up! She can’t and won’t do anything for you anyway. Get a new job if you don’t know how to properly reach out and speak to people!
