Krissy makes sure that her patients are heard and will talk with you and not at you. You will not feel rushed and she genuinely cares. She is great at explaining how you will respond to medication and why it was prescribed.

I incorporate various therapies into my medication management visits. I typically do not offer just therapy only due to the need for medication providers in this state.
