She took the time to really listen to me, and she heard my concerns. She let me cry and I knew she was someone I could trust. She has helped me a lot, and because she trusts me, I trust her.
I have been seeing Danielle for over five years or longer. I was suffering from really bad depression and anxiety. I saw another person, but I just didn’t have a sense of trust or protection from them. I’m sure they were great, but they just weren’t great for me. So I gave up, and my depression and anxiety got worse, and I developed panic attacks. I tried again with a different person. That person was Danielle.
I liked her right away. She took the time to really listen to me, and she heard my concerns. She let me cry and I knew she was someone I could trust. She has helped me a lot, and because she trusts me, I trust her. The frustration of finding the different combinations of medication that worked for me was a process, and I reached out to her many times when I was overwhelmed. She hung in there with me, she was very patient and we finally found the right dosage for me. Am I completely okay? No. But I know that no matter what, as a patient, progress and journey are more important than the end. She is making sure my journey is safe, and for that, I am grateful.
She really does embody BMCs motto, Exceptional Care Without Exception. I had a heart attack at the age of 35. Six months later, I developed post-traumatic stress disorder and depression, and anxiety. I was always afraid I was going to have another heart attack. This feeling went on for years. I didn’t know what to do. I was connected with Danielle, and she helped me get through it because I really felt like there was no hope for me. She pulled me from the edge of wherever I was and helped me regain a sense of who I was. I was a smart student who loved learning, and I turned into a woman who hid in her bedroom with boards covering my window because I was so scared to live. Danielle made me want to live again.
