She is doing a great job, don’t change a thing!
She was helpful and wonder as always!
I don't think she needs to do anything to better support my care. I feel like she is doing everything in her power to help me and she is always reassuring me that what I am going through is normal and genuinely wants to see/help me get better. I really appreciate her.
She's very thoughtful in how she approaches my med changes. I also feel like she really understands what I say to her - we're on the same wavelength - and that makes all the difference!
Seems like we're on the same page, so I can't think of anything else!
Avani asked me to message over some information, but I can't send a message yet. I hope I can soon!
Avani was the best practitioner and most helpful I've ever met with on Brightside. She's amazing!
Avani is spectacular. I really appreciate the discussions with her when we meet and the direction she provides for my journey with anxiety.
It sucks that I have to schedule her soamy days out. It's been nice to have more available appointments.
She has been absolutely wonderful. She has helped me tremendously.
She's great, thanks for sending her my way.
Very helpful very thorough and attentive to the whole picture of my health and wellbeing
I want to wait and get to know her better before giving her or anyone a 5 star rating. I think I automatically gave my first practitioner a 5 only to realize after my second meeting, that was an incorrect assessment. So far I feel comfortable with Avani, she is professional and much more willing to have a conversation. She also seems more knowledgeable and experienced. I feel heard and much more confident that this partnership has real potential. I don’t have any suggestions. I look forward to developing a partnership.
She was great and down to earth.
