She is very good at making sure any new meds don't conflict with my cancer meds. She does her best to find meds that will work and not conflict which I appreciate a lot. She also listens and is very nice.

Hattie has been amazing to me and my needs. She listened to everything I had going on and instantly jumped into action. I love that she cares about me and remembers the things I tell her. I know a lot of psychiatrists I’ve met in the past only care about your symptoms, very unemotional interaction. Hattie actually cares about me beyond any symptoms and it shows. I am so happy to have met her.
