It can be quite taboo to write a review for a psychiatric practice; we still live in a world where mental illness is highly stigmatized. Nonetheless, the services I receive by Joy Ellis-George & her entire practice deserve accolaShow moredes. Mrs. Ellis-George is very accessible, always responsive, extremely helpful, spot-on accurate & takes the time to learn & listen to her patients. What I really like is her partnership throughout your care working hand-in-hand w/you to arrive at the best path forward
Ms.Geoge is a very understanding and compassionate individual who listens and gives helpful feedback,advice and tools on many,if not all concerns,issue and or problems/challenges you may be facing. She always does her best to makeShow more you comfortable and gives different ways or suggestions to work around uncomfortability. She truly cares and has had a tremendous positive impact on my mental health over the almost year of me seeing her. I'm definitely forever grateful to her for her outstanding help.
