Marlena listens to my concerns and understands my feelings. She offers medication and activities to help me with my mental health. She had me bio-tested to see what medications will work for me after I had a reaction to a new medication. I can't thank her enough.

I was referred to Marlena for medication evaluation and possible changes. We had a thorough conversation about my medications and Marlena ordered laboratory testing. I didn't know this was even an option. She made medication changes using both our conversations and the lab data. The change did what I needed. It took less than three weeks for me to feel like the new levels are doing better. I am impressed with Marlena using science and intuition when evaluation my medication.

She easily relates to everything I talk about. Reminds me of the good things and to focus on them. Very well-versed in meds as well. I'm very comfortable taking her advice with that regard.
