KRIS HOUSER, MD REVIEWS

My daughter and husband and I began seeming Dr. Houser when my daughter was 7 years old she is now 28. He has been the best doctor we have ever tried. He's like a family member now after all these years. If it had not been for Kris I really Don't know how my daughter would be today. He has also helped my husband and myself more than we will ever be able to thank him. We go in with the world falling down around us,and leave feeling like he has took all the worries and sress away.

I have went to this office for over 12 year's, so easy n kind to talk to,it's like a friend. They have got me on the perfect dosage of medication, and that's hard to find when you're depressed, nerves, and pain,I hope to be with them for ever. They do not judge. Love the ladies at the front desk, they make you feel welcome the minute you walk in.

Dr. Houser is an incredibly kind man and deep-listening physician. I've benefited tremendously from his aid. Very much recommended.

SHARON BURNSIDE, MD REVIEWS

Dr. Burnside is an empathetic and skilled provider. I cannot stress how appreciative that I am that she is a part of my mental healthcare team. She is very frank, knowledgeable, and excels in the field of psychiatry. My mental health journey has been a struggle, and it has been very difficult and knowing that she is on board as a member of my care team brings me a sense of comfort and relief. She effectively and efficiently manages her appointments and respects her patience time so the wait time is non existent or extremely little at the very worst. If I could provide 10 stars, I would.

Just had my first new patient appointment with Dr Burnside. Not only was she as friendly as can be, but she took her time to understand my current circumstances and to give me her opinion on the best route moving forward. She even wrote on a sticky note exactly what the plan we agreed upon was so that I could keep track as we move forward. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with her and will continue with her for as long as she will have me! The office staff were also exceptionally friendly and helpful from the very first call to the office.

I’ve been seeing Dr Burnside for 3+ years now and she is an amazing doctor. Her extensive knowledge in mental health medicine, combined with her patient and understanding demeanor to always make me feel at ease is why I’ve continued to see her virtually even after moving away. I would recommend anyone I know to her.

DAWIT ZEMICHAEL, MD, MS REVIEWS

Dr zemichael very good doctor and very understanding doctor with his patients I would recommend him to anyone if you meet his family in the store they are the most friendly people you would ever want to meet. I'm very happy to be a part of the best person that you can ever know. He's good at what he does. It's not about his self it's all about the people.

I have been going to Doctor Z for just over 2 years. I find his entire staff both friendly and professional. I find Doctor Z one of the most knowledgeable Doctors I have ever met in my life. If your looking for a TEAM to help you learn how to live a life of sobriety then you have found the place here.

I love this place Doctor Ze Michael is amazing. He’s the best.haven’t seen him in years due to Financial reasons, but I’m really hoping to get back in with him because he’s great. I recommend him.
