“Wonderful first experience with Ruth Bissell! Had two psychiatrists before her who did not go into depth even a miniscule amount as much as she did. I felt like she really cared about me as a person, and wanted to help me find the best course of treatment for my ADHD. Very knowledgeable and transparent, I felt safe knowing I could ask her any questions I had. My previous psychiatrist didn't explain half of what she did, so I walked out feeling a lot better about my situation, and she even scheduled a follow up appointment at the end of our session. Can't say enough good things about Ruth, just please come to her if you're seeking any kind of help. I'm actually looking forward to my next appointment!”

“Ruth is incredibly knowledgeable, professional and very warm. From the beginning, she took the time to really listen and understand what I was going thru. She identified an issue that my previous provide overlooked. The medication she recommended made a big difference in how I feel.”

Getting to know Ruth Bissell
As a parent of an ADHD child, I have been on the other side of healthcare and work hard to be fully committed to getting you the help you would like. It’s anxiety provoking to see a new provider, but know with decades of experience and passion for caring about my patients - I have earned Excellent Google Reviews - I will respond to my patients always within 48 hours (but I always check at the beginning and ending of everyday) b/c I know its frustrating to wait for a script to be refilled or to need to talk and have to wait a week (when the problem has passed).
