"Have been meeting with Dr. V for over two years now and truly appreciate his experience, professionalism, and approach. He's pragmatic, down to earth, and listens extremely well."
— Birdeye review"I was refused service! Their only explanation was "We can't meet your needs". This was after a 20 minute intake, giving them my insurance info, and my selfie. My needs are basic: medication for depression. What a humiliating experience no one should ever have to go through."
— WebMD review"She is supportive, empathetic, and extremely knowledge in her field. Allyson has made me feel comfortable and hopeful during a very unsettling and sad time in my life."
