I have had the great pleasure of knowing Theresa for nearly two years. Theresa took on the challenge of managing two practices (behavioral health and internal medicine) with grace and compassion. Having not had experience with behavioral health previously, I am truly impressed by Theresa's continued willingness to extend herself and serve our patients who are often in desperate need. Theresa is on the front lines when it comes to reaching out to a patient in crisis. On a nearly daily basis, Theresa is faced with the challenge of triaging and reassuring patients in very difficult situations. She takes time to ensure each patient is safe and has their basic needs accounted for. Theresa treats each patient as an individual with unique needs and circumstances. She plays a major role in accounting for the continued welfare of each patient we see in behavioral health.
