It has been really hard to find a provider that is available on the weekends. Usually people work M-F, and seeing someone on the weekend is awesome. Thank you Frances for being available when I needed a Saturday appointment. Way to break the mold and make mental health a priority for people who work during the week.

Dr. Frances’s meticulous approach to treat and manage my conditions are thoughtful and remediating. She screened through my diagnoses/medications from a previous provider and cultivated a safe space to educate me on which medications could be weaned off as it may not serve beneficially long-term. Dr. Frances is transparent about her approach of medication management and her intentions to ensure that not only am I treated but continually improving along the way has made it easy to recommend her as a provider to anyone who is seeking mental health care. Thank you Dr. Frances for your ongoing care!
