Doctor Simonson was very patient with me and listened to everything I had to say.

He was very kind and communicated clearly. He also wanted to make sure that all my questions were answered, my concerns on new medications were addressed and I understood the plan before my appt ended. He was patient and didn't rush my appt which I truly appreciate! I felt heard because of he was patient and listened to what I had to say.

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

I had a great experience with NP Karishma. She’s easy to talk to, really listens, and always makes me feel comfortable and supported. I never feel rushed during appointments, and I appreciate how thoughtful and caring she is. I’m so happy I found her!
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.
