See what our patients are saying about Laura Bennington

I see a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (Laura Bennington) who addresses my mental health, and medication needs. Laura is very responsive to my emotional, physical, and psychiatric responses to medications. As I have remained on the depressed side through the Winter and the start of Spring, this month we adjusted my medication to try to lift my mood, energy, and motivation. I will follow up with her in a month to see my responsiveness to this new medication protocol. I am hopeful it will work. I really appreciate her thoroughness, understanding, and compassion.

Dr. Bennington is very easy to talk to and although visits are purposely brief- she is monitoring the psychiatric medications and your mental status, she also asks questions about your personal life to demonstrate she's also interested in you as a person.

Great doctors. Their portal leaves some To be desired. But the doctors make up for it. Have moved, multiple times, and had providers in three different states. LifeStances doctors are the best I have experienced.
