Of all the (way too many) psychs I’ve had, he is the only one who has taken the time to know me and give a truly comprehensive diagnosis and treatment plan. The office has a lovely atmosphere, never a wait, never felt rushed. He promptly responds to emails/calls. I can’t say enough. I highly recommend him.” – Testimonial from a patient
