angel on earth, she's perfect
N/A, I love her. She's very knowledgeable and patient. Answers all my questions.
After my first visit with Teka I feel like she did everything she could to make me feel comfortable but at the same time she got lots of useful information from me and was straight to the point but also made me feel cared for and understood. I think she did great and I don’t have anything to add, just grateful for a caring and professional provider.
Teka is the only reason I still use this service. I have insurance and other providers available, but she is the best! I have never had a provider so warm and understanding.
She nails it. Love working with her.
Teka is a fantastic provider. Very thorough and detail oriented.
She did not show up but to be fair I no-showed twice recently so it is no big deal
She is great. I wish that Brightside would give the psychiatrist more time.
Friendly, engaging, competent and thorough. Can’t say enough good things!
continue to support and listen, be patient, Keep acknowledging that my feelings are valid and then I’m working towards getting something better.
We are doing good and Teka listens to me and made good suggestions on maintaining as well as looking at where I am now compared to where I was when we started and continuing to improve as I go. I am very satisfied with the care I am receiving.
