"I have been a patient at Psych Choices for almost 7 years now and I am very pleased on the treatment and the way the staff and doctors treat you with the utmost respect as a person. They do not just give you medication and send you on your way like some doctors. The doctors and staff genuinely care about you and keep your information private and secure. I would definitely recommend the doctors at Psych Choices to a person in need or if you would just like to talk about everyday stresses. They have great hours also so you do not have to miss work!"
