My first appointment was great with Sean Li. He was very kind and thoughtful and asked me questions that made me really think. I liked it and learned more about myself. He informed me on things I never knew. I’m over 60yrs old so I was happy with his knowledge. I think that when seeing a Psychiatrist you need a good fit. He was a great fit for me. Just because others don’t connect w a doctor, it doesn’t mean the doctor is unqualified. This Psychiatrist was a perfect match for me. Thank you for sending me to him . I will definitely see him again. Have a fantastic day!
