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. Because I continued to be on the depressed side, we added a new medication. I have responded well. Laura is very in touch with what is going on with me. I really appreciate her kindness, compassion, and responsiveness to my medication needs.

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.
