Jennifer

"I was so nervous to switch psychiatrists after having one in Texas who I felt understood my traumatic brain injury and how it related to psych and had me on a great treatment plan. I was concerned maybe this establishment in MD wouldn’t respect my existing plan or understand me. You know how it is…making up anxieties and thinking a new place won’t help you like another one did.

I was wrong, and I had no reason to be nervous. And I would feel comfortable suggesting this place to anyone, including those with TBIs who are trying to and able to live independently and need psychiatric assistance.

During my first appointment at APC I was overwhelmed at check in and the staff went above and beyond to help me feel comfortable. Please note, they did not have to do this. I was the problem lol. But they never made me feel like a burden, and my overwhelmed feelings subsided within minutes.

The physician who saw me was 10/10 exactly what you’d hope for in a psychiatric provider. Whole staff was wonderful. Recommended some support groups for me, too.

Thank you!"

"I really felt like Jennifer cared about what I had to say, and she was thorough and kind. I felt really safe. Ms. Turpin also allowed me to participate in my own care plan, which is important to me. The triage nurse was also great, and everyone in reception was very pleasant and helpful. I would definitely recommend this office to friends and family."
