Patient Reviews
Mar 07, 2025
He pressed to understand. Asked appropriate questions. Tried meds that he thought would help. Sometimes they did, others did not. I believe that he &I traveled the maze of mental illness as a team. Unfortunately, he is no longer in my insurance “network” and I am faltering a bit. But that’s on the insurance failure. When I had nowhere to turn, I took a chance and called him pleading my plight. He set me on a good path.To those who are disgruntled with his attention, I feel you are expecting too much too soon. There is no magical cure for mental illnesses. You need to work hard for a long time, then work everyday at getting better. Good luck to you
