Patient Reviews
Sep 12, 2021
I saw Dr. Alfafara for the first time yesterday after moving to this area and needing a psychiatrist for medication management. She was personable, very thorough, and didn't try to change medications that were working for me. I've noticed some people have criticized her for not "doing therapy," but in general psychiatrists in the U.S. don't do much of any therapy, just medication management. I appreciated that Dr. Alfafara took the time to go through my extensive medical history with me.
