Mrs. Bernadette is an AMAZING provider! So inspirational and motivating, with just one encounter she makes you feel like you can conquer the world . She spoke life into me. I am so happy to have met her and I see us starting a good relationship.

I'm always hesitant to try medication; however, it was needed during this time. Dr. Akpengbe was incredibly thoughtful in informing me of the why behind the what as we talked through medication history, current state, and the most effective treatment to get me through this wave. I also appreciated her mention of this not having to be a life-long solution and potential timeline to monitor how I'm feeling. She's amazing and I'm so glad she was suggested to me! I feel a weight has been lifted.

She’s very thorough and knowledgeable. I like that she’s not trying to push me onto medication and really wants to figure out the cause of my depression and anxiety.
