My last experience with a psychiatrist, I walked away feeling so unseen and unheard. He minimized my concerns. This Doctor was a great communicator and took his time to explain everything, including the biology behind the diagnosis and how the medications worked. He discussed some very progressive treatment therapies rather than suggesting the cookie-cutter counseling that I’ve done for years with poor results. I feel hopeful for the first time in many years. I have worked in healthcare for 20 years and it’s become rare for providers to communicate effectively and not rush their patients. I look forward to my healing journey.

This doctor and his office are very disrespectful to patients and their time. 8 minutes prior to my appointment they sent me a text saying the appointment would be canceled. They offered to reschedule it to 4 days later at 8 am when I am at work. I wasted a lot of time filling out their forms and waiting for this appointment. In addition I took time off of work for this appointment.
