Dr. Joan is hands down the best Dr I’ve ever been to, she actually listened to me and we share lots of similarities. She is very knowledgeable about a lot of mental health issues and she read me like a book!!

My journey in finding the care my son needed was incredibly challenging. I had such a hard time trying to find a doctor for my son. She called and asked me what I was looking for during our visit. After explaining my concerns and the mistreatment my son had been subjected to at his school, she showed extreme sympathy, understanding, and concern. She prioritized my son’s needs, while others had completely ignored him and failed to provide him with the help he required. She was fantastic in interacting with my son and making my husband, daughter, and me feel at ease during the appointment, which can be quite stressful. Her genuine care extended to taking extra time to provide us with answers we had been seeking for a long time. This doctor’s unwavering dedication and profound professional impact on our family have been truly remarkable. I am confident that my son is on the right path to healing and growth with her by his side. I wouldn’t have found such a perfect match without this app.

Dr. Bourne was extremely helpful, kind, and caring. She listened to my concerns and asked thorough questions to determine what treatment she thought was best for me, and provided a comfortable atmosphere and a safe judgment-free space to discuss uncomfortable subjects.

If I were speaking to a friend, I would say, "Girl, Dr. Joan has been precisely what my daughter needed." We had an appointment three weeks ago, and my daughter has significantly improved! She was suffering for 3 weeks with severe depression. She could not get out of the bed. She is now able to attend class, clean her room, do the dishes, and, most importantly, speak with me. I have never seen her smile so bright. She struggled in school and has just completed this semester with passing grades. As a parent, it was exhausting, but I did not give up. My daughter's siblings asked me what was going on; she is actually talking to us. Praise the Lord! Her father has finally relaxed, and we are enjoying the fact that Dr. Joan provided her with the correct medication. Dr. Joan is culturally sensitive, patient, parent-child interaction focused, knowledgeable, compassionate, comforting, nonjudgmental, collaborative, and patient-centered. Thank you, God, for this beautiful woman. Life is Great!!!

I can not speak enough positive things about Joan. She did wonders for my boys and helped hem overcome so much turmoil that they endured. Because of her my boys are happy, healthy and mentally strong. No other provider has come close to the care she provides. Hands down the most kind caring person to work with.
