KDVerified patient

When I got there, he was very professional. He had a smile on his face. He welcome me to the practice. Even though I was very nervous going to see a psychiatric provider, he made me feel at ease. He listened to my story, my history and he was able to guide me to understand what has been going on with me for over 10 years. I did not feel rushed, and I did not feel like he imposed medications on me, I felt heard and validated. He is truly a provider that I will recommend my family to see.He was very knowledgeable about what he was talking about, and I did not feel like he did not know what he was saying to me.
