“I‘ve tried a few Psychs from Lifestance in the past and all wanted to give me multiple diagnosis before even finishing a conversation with me. Sara listened and set up a game plan for me regarding my treatment. The biggest thing for me was she wanted to get to know me more before saying I have A,B, and C. Will be seeing her in the future. ”

“An incredible and respectful doctor! Took my concerns seriously, and explained things very well. Only my first appointment, but she was a million times better than providers I have seen in the past. Answered questions, explained things thoroughly, and was overall very kind and helpful. I would absolutely recommend this doctor, and I look forward to my next appointment.”
