Denise was fine, personable and interested in me and reviewing past progress. I chose to do telehealth as I'd come to Panacea from a retiring doctor. So I was getting alone sense again.
Denise has been a great provider. She has helped me through many life changing experiences and challenges. I would highly recommend her.

Time well spent with Denise.
Denise is a joy to work with. She takes time to evaluate me to see how I'm am doing. Based on that she asks if I need any changes to my meds or not. She let's me lead but if I'm unsure she will make suggestions. I appreciate her and I'm glad I have her.
Awesome as always.
She listens and is always concerned about my input and how I feel about any changes.
Fantastic counselor. Always have great sessions with her.
