I feel very strongly that Karen “got me” during our first appt right away. I never has issues with stress, anxiety, etc til my mom had a major medical episode in 2021 resulting her being in hospice today. Karen asked how I felt about my diagnosis and was very accepting when I said it was hard to say with the stressors going on now. I can’t think of a way she could have been nicer and more accepting.

Dr.Karen, has been great.. I've been more than pleased... Thank you
Karen is focused on the science of my medications and views me as a human with complexities; body, mind, and soul. She is helping me, and I greatly appreciate her.
My provider does a great job. I would like to point out the last rating i gave was 1 star due to a technical difficulty with the app and was not given the opportunity to change that rating.
She is good so far no complaints. I hope she continues to help find a combination of medication to help and I believe she will. I really got lucky finally found someone who is willing to try and believes what I'm saying. I hope to continue to have her help
Love Karen. She is amazing at talking through side effects/benefits of medication to get the right fit.
Karen is amazing and down to earth. She makes me feel comfortable throughout this process. I feel valued to have her in my life alongside this journey. Thank you!
No complaints here. Karen is caring and helpful throughout every step of the process.
I just don’t like how she said to stay out of trouble like I am some hell raiser…. That’s about all.
I'm extremely happy with her, very personable and receptive to all of my concerns.
Very kind and considerate, but also very truthful about what's needed and why.
She was so wonderful and so nice and understanding and she was telling me how the online psychiatry they you know can only do certain things and that I would maybe need to go to a like a hospital for outpatient services on my anxieties too bad I don't ride in cars I ride in a car one time a month to go to my other doctor to get my medicine there's no way I'll even go then so maybe I was hoping and if y'all could possibly let her treat me online because if she doesn't I'm not going to get I'm not going to get help because I'm not going to go to a hospital I'm not going to I'm not I cannot take another car ride of the month I can't do it so I was going to see if he's maybe to please let her treat me
