See what our patients are saying about Adriene Simpson

Miss Adriene is a God send , I don’t know what I would do without her. I got lucky when they assigned me to her when Mr. Lemon left ( he was great as well) She strives above and beyond for me . Constantly helping me even if she don’t know the answer or isn’t her expertise, she goes that extra mile to even just talk to me after hours . I’m usually her last appointment due to my schedule. She’s never gave up on me. I told her as long as I’m at Lifestance I hope I get to keep her forever . She’s truly a one of a kind and has helped me through tough times and has gotten me the help I need . Even if it was just an ear . 10/10 as far as she goes . I can’t really speak on others that much .

I’ve always been treated well at Lifestance Health. Dr. Vincent Mullen was my original doctor. I just had my first visit with Adriene Simpson, APRN, and I believe I will be just as comfortable with her as I was with Dr. Mullen. I also like that they offer telehealth appointments. I live in Richmond, about 30 minutes from Lexington. The convenience and time savings with this option are extremely beneficial!

I have enjoyed working with Adriene. She has been very professional and has treated me with kindness. I am not afraid to discuss any health concerns I may have and when I do have questions I am very confident in her ability managing my medication as well as any health concerns I may have. Adriene has what I call sparkle her kind heart shines through while doing her job.

Adriene took plenty of time to go over my activities and reactions or side effects on Rx. I did not feel rushed. She listened to whatever I felt had a bearing with my emotional concerns and how medicines interacted with each other. I was extremely pleased with her responses to what concerned me.
