Overall rating:
Kristi's great. She listens and is very willing to help as much as she can within her limits. I very much appreciate her.
She listened and helpful!
Kind and prestative, overall I like the way she proposed me possible solutions.
I have no complaints. Kristi is compassionate and very helpful.
Well, this is the first time I’ve ever done this so she was very helpful. She listened well. I really enjoyed her. She made me feel better. She made me feel like she cared. I appreciate her and she’s making adjustments to my meds that I really hope will help. Thank you.
I think I need more meds to help what I'm already taking but not sure if that's right. My head is so messed up I don't know. Not sure i care.
She was amazing, took her time to discuss things with me, and sort things out. She was kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable. I'm so glad I was able to meet her!
Very caring and compassionate!
She really took her time to understand me and my background. She listens so well, and I already feel more confident in her from one appointment than I did with the other Psychiatrist.
She can’t do a lot for me at the moment because of some physical health issues we are trying to figure out but she wants to help and I appreciate that
She’s absolutely phenomenal in every way ❤️🙏🏽 such a blessing in my life!!!
Couldn’t ask for anyone better
I think Kristi has a great approach. I made more progress with her in 3 months than I had with in Psychiatrist in the past. I have realized I need meds and they are helping but she worked on finding the right combo. I really am enjoying the help from Brightside. One of the stressors that gave me anxiety and stress was in person appointments. Taking time off work who might see me at the office. the web based platform has made it easy for me to get help.
N/A, she was very helpful.
She doesn't need to change anything. I felt very cared for and understood. She just left a lasting impression.
