“Amazing doctor who spent a whole hour listening and asking questions to really get to know me and my situation. Prior to my appointment I had been seeing another Psychiatrist for 3+ months and all those appts only lasted 5-10 minutes. I do feel Christine actually cares about me and is truly working with me and considering all the quirks of my body with the side effects I’ve had in the past few months.”

“I wish I had found Oak Health Center in 2014 as I now realize how important postpartum care is. In my third battle against my brain’s wiring Dr. Ricketts was the first psychiatrist I’ve met with. I had a truly wonderful experience. Her questions were geared toward me and my struggles. She was efficient and understanding and scheduled to meet with me in a timely matter. I’m so appreciative and look forward to continuing my care with her.”

Dr. Ricketts is a great listener and was very kind. She worked with me to create a plan that I felt comfortable with trying and her office was very helpful when my insurance didn’t want to cover my medication.
