Reviews
Dr Kirsten Ellis really listened to me and was very easy to talk to. I would recommend to any one who finds themselves in need of a psychiatrist. Thanks again.
Dr Ellis is an amazing doctor. She is extremely attentive and makes you feel very listened to.
Good listener
Has empathy
I felt she really cared about even about the mundane to help me feel better
I've been putting off writing this review for quite a while now. Mostly because it's difficult to express how much of a positive impact my consultations with Dr Kirsten Ellis have had on my life. I'm nearing 30, and I'd pretty much resigned myself to a life of frustration - I'd always been filled with ambition, but completely at the mercy of impulse and whim. My diagnosis of ADHD, along with the treatment that's come with it, have changed everything.
If you're nervous about going to a psychiatrist - I was too. Dr Ellis helped and reassured me through it all, with empathy, understanding and patience.
Highly recommend.
I felt blessed to have Dr Ellis as my psychiatrist. She treated me with respect and kindness. I have bi polar affective disorder which can be extremely dehabilitating mentally and physically. Dr Ellis didn't chop and change my meds constantly. She knew what worked for me. She is an extremely good listener. I always felt better about things after our appointments. She will be sorely missed.
