Report
Nurse Practitioner McKenzie is exceptional and she provides care, knowledge, and clinical skills that exceed all of the purported eminent Academic Teaching Psychiatrists from the major mental health facilities in our area.
First, she is not afraid of difficult cases, and despite having a personality disorder that even had my Academic Psychiatrist of 18 years dismiss me and prevent me from seeing anyone at a major mental health center, Nurse Ashley accepted me. Further, I also have the difficult diagnosis of mixed bipolar affective disorder, and most academic psychiatrists won't treat this as well
