This was my first meeting with Uju, and she was very warm and welcoming and did a great job keeping my squirrel brain on task. She asked pointed, direct, easy-to-understand questions and helped me to answer correctly and honestly without leading for specific answers. Within the first 30 minutes of chatting, she says she has a good idea of what is going on and needs my medical records to fully understand the situation and make a diagnosis and medication recommendation. I look forward to our next

I felt like I found someone very knowledgeable who took the time to understand my issues and was determined to help me find a solution.

Uju has become a constant in my life--a person who, every month, I can communicate with and develop a schedule around. She is friendly, and warm, and authentic, and kind-hearted and I recommend her whole-heartedly to anyone in need of psychiatric services. With this having been my last session with her, I feel like I can walk away knowing she was able to help me become a better me. :)
