John Kirui was very professional and attentive, along with a sincere concern for my mental state and health which I could sense immediately.
He was thorough with his questions and also very forthcoming with honest suggestions and helpful insight.
I am looking forward to continuing our treatment plan together.

I was pretty nervous going into my first remote appointment but John was just a genuinely kind and helpful human who happens to also be a medical professional. Such a painless transition from my now retired, former psychiatrist. Would absolutely recommend to friends and family.

Very friendly, super quick response time for the appointment and any messages, has a very holistic understanding of mental health.

John is a great listener and really cares about making sure his patients are heard and helping them get the help that they need. He made a great effort to be present with active listening and educating on options. I would recommend him to anyone, and will certainly be happy booking future appointments!

My previous APRN resigned from the practice I was using abruptly and I was unable to get an appointment with another provider in a reasonable time frame.
Mr. Kirui's practice was very thorough and he was a great listener and took time to get to know me. He is very empathetic and even though we were doing a virtual call I could tell he cared because he had visible compassion in his eyes and face.
I wanted to find a provider that I can stay with long term and I am so glad I gave him a try. He is local as well and I also like that aspect.

I can't stress this enough; if you are looking for an exceptional provider, John Kirui, APRN is easily the most talented mental health professional I have ever encountered. He possess a rare blend of deep empathy and clinical expertise that makes every session feel productive. I never felt like 'just another patient'; I felt seen. I’m incredibly grateful for their help and wouldn't consider going anywhere else. A truly glowing recommendation.
