I felt very comfortable during my visit, the space felt very welcoming and modern. My therapist really provided me great insight and I always look forward to our sessions.

The app is great and it is super easy to find a care provider. However, there is a disconnect between the office and Zocdoc. The office reached out to me to schedule another meeting because the one I selected was already booked.
