Patient Reviews
Mar 17, 2024
Dr. Ekern and I have been working together for years. He has always been willing to listen to me and work with me to find what works for me and my brain. He also trusts my therapist and my therapist trusts him.Dr. Ekern has always based my care on my feedback, and I'd recommend him as a professional, caring, reliable psychiatrist to anyone. His nurse I often work with, Kate, is also amazing.
