August 14, 2026Thomas G.Verified patient
I had a wonderful experience with my nurse practitioner Karishma. She is highly professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about her patients. From the moment I joined the zoom call, she creates a comfortable and welcoming environment that immediately puts me at ease.
What I appreciate most is her positive attitude and easy-going personality. She takes the time to listen carefully, answer questions, and explain everything clearly without making me feel rushed. Her thoroughness and attention to detail give me confidence that I am receiving the best possible care.
It's rare to find a Nurse Practitioner who combines professionalism, compassion, and expertise so well. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dedicated physician.
MAVerified patient
Karishma is an exceptional psychiatric nurse practitioner who truly takes the time to listen and make you feel heard. She is compassionate, knowledgeable, and creates a warm, judgment-free environment where you feel comfortable discussing even difficult topics. She explains treatment options clearly, answers questions thoughtfully, and works collaboratively to develop a plan that feels personalized rather than one-size-fits-all. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about her patients’ well-being, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a mental health provider who is both clinically skilled and deeply empathetic.
RJVerified patient
I cannot recommend Karishma enough. Their deep clinical expertise in psychopharmacology, combined with a genuinely compassionate bedside manner, truly sets them apart. She took the time to explain my treatment options, listened to all my concerns, and helped me achieve a much better quality of life. An exceptional and highly knowledgeable provider!
SFVerified patient

NRVerified patient
I had a Telehealth visit with Nurse Practitioner Karishma Narayan and she was professional, compassionate, and understanding. She listened to me express all of my goals and needs and asked all the right questions to fully understand my past medication and medical history. It’s really hard to find compassionate healthcare providers, so I really appreciate the time and care she took to make me feel heard and supported. She created a comfortable, judgment-free environment and made the entire process easy and reassuring. I’m grateful for her thoughtful approach and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and empathetic provider.

Rebecca was really patient and kind during our visit. I felt validated. Would recommend !
KNVerified patient
Great doctor and very understanding with no judgements
August 12, 2026Caryn V.Verified patient
Rebecca is not only one of the most knowledgeable providers, but also just one of the coolest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. She’s very big on patient autonomy, and always makes me feel like I am in control of my experience. I have had really bad previous experiences with psychiatric providers, and was scared to book my first appointment in a long time. She is such a breath of fresh air and truly turns my whole week around.
MSVerified patient
This was probably one of the easiest best doctors appointments I’ve ever had. The staff & the actual professional were second to none. I would recommend this place to everyone and anyone.

Rebecca was super transparent and easy to talk to. She walked me through everything I needed to know in a way that was simple to follow along. She was also very thorough with my appointment which was appreciated.
August 13, 2026Rachel D.Verified patient
An incredible, thoughtful, and absolutely transformative experience. Not your typical transactional appointment but rather a chance to dive deep, dig inward, and connect dots that were not previously connected. 10/10. Highly recommend.
August 11, 2026Danny S.Verified patient
Dr. Jones was friendly, professional, attentive, patient, and overall a wonderful doctor to speak with. I felt very comfortable speaking with her about my issues. I will be booking again.

I thought it was a really good starting session, we haven’t dug too deep yet. However she makes me feel extremely valid and seen. I’m really looking forward to the next session.
July 24, 2026Kalyssa C.Verified patient
