Honest post ā€¦I was reluctant to go to my apt due to skepticism about psychiatry. That change immediately when I met Chandra! She put me at ease and listened so intently to my concerns and answered all my questions. Her professionalism, knowledge and rapport with her patients is unmatched! Probably the top nurse practitioner I have ever seen throughout my healthcare journey! She actually cares and takes time with her patients and it shows! I wish healthcare had more Chandraā€™s out there! With Gratitude- Jamie

The Psychiatric np, Chandra, was wonderful. This was my 1st appt and my 1st time seeing this type of provider. I was a little nervous at first but she completely put me at ease. Her patience, kindness and expertise in discussing my options, med, etc were outstanding. She has such compassion and really cares for her patients.
