She always checks in with her clients and ensures their well-being before altering or prescribing medications. She is thorough with her work and allows as much time as the client needs during appointments. She is responsive to emails and calls, and creates availability in her schedule to fit in a client before the set appointment time if they need support. Stephanie's attention to detail and her unwavering dedication to creating a supportive environment do not go unnoticed. She is the first psychiatrist, after four previous ones, whom I trust and feel comfortable with.
