Get help if you have anxiety or depression from her. she helped me get my life back and not let ir run my life anymore.
you can tell when a doctor just sees you to check the box but uchechi balanced her professionalism with genuine care.
She didnt just prescribe but took the time to teach me about my ADHD and how it affects both my work and home life.
Depression made me feel hopeless. Uchechi reminded me that healing is possible, and she has your back through it all
She listens carefully and adjusts my meds because I am sensitive to a lot of things. Def recommend seeing her.

I learned from my first one that she doesn’t rush appointments. She makes sure I understand our plan. Nice to not just be rushed out the door like my primary did
i got tired of being blown off by other providers. my therapist recommended her to me and she has helped me manage both depression and anxiety.
ADHD almost got me fired and divorced. I am able to complete my work and my partner and I are better than ever in our relationship.
I didnt even know I had depression. I just tried to work through all the trauma I have experienced. Thank you for the help of recognizing and getting on meds that were safe.
I had a hard time finding a provider who takes mediciad and actually seems to care about my mental health. I wish I had found her sooner
I would do 6 stars, but I cant. Her encouragement helped me open up about my struggles with anxiety. I didnt have to keep it boxed up and suck it up anymore. Its nice to finally get the right treatment.
uchechi takes the time to explain treatment options, and makes me feel like we are in a partnership in my care not just telling me what to do.
thank you for being so patient. Thank you for not just throwing meds at me and checking my blood levels. I think that is the first time someone actually wanted to look for a root cause.
