DR. DAWN LA PORTE REVIEWS

I love Dr.Laporte so much . Words cannot express . She has been by my side guiding me for over 10 years and helped a poor , broken soul of a girl blossom into a flower and I could not have done it without her .She doesn’t push meds and always listens to me without judgement. I absolutely trust Dr.Laporte with my life and highly recommend her . I am so grateful she has been my doctor this long , thank you Dr.Laporte.

I have had a few psychiatrists in my life, but none have come close to being as enthusiastically helpful and caring as Dr. Laporte. Words cannot express my gratitude for her and her dedication. She is kind, she listens, she goes the extra mile, and she is hilarious (total bonus). 1000/10 recommend.

Dr. Laporte is very caring and empathetic with her patience. She acted immediately over concerns of my medication causing serious side effects and she promptly found medication best suited for me. I highly recommend this doctor.

DR. JORIS WIGGERS REVIEWS

Dr. Wiggers is so deeply thoughtful and kind and he is profoundly knowledgeable about psychiatric treatments. His professional care is superb and his standards are top notch with enormous integrity. I have never met anyone as dedicated to excellence in treatment and the compassion I have experienced with Dr. Wiggers moves me so much. He is such a lovely human being. I am so grateful to be able to receive such spectacular care from him.

Dr. Wiggers is a profoundly skilled and knowledgeable psychiatrist. He was the best doctor I've ever seen, and I would not hesitate to recommend his care and services to anyone I knew who needed a psychiatric physician. Thank you for everything.

I really lucked out when I managed to get a referral to Dr. W. kind, knowledgeable and professional, Dr. Wiggers seemed to understand my situation immediately. So nice to meet a doctor who actually listens and validates.

DR. CHI HUNG AU - NEUROLINKS REVIEWS

Beautiful space with wonderful staff and Dr Au is amazingly welcoming and knowledgeable. Easy to talk to. Dr Au and his staff strive to make an incredible effort to make the treatment and clinic visit a very pleasant experience. Thank you also for being very welcoming to students wanting to learn more about the different treatment modalities available in psychiatry.

NeuroLinks clinic is a comfortable and welcoming space. Dr. Au is very intelligent, caring, and professional. He maintains a balance between listening and asking questions. His knowledge of medications and their side-effects is commendable. He takes into account patient history and gives options to empower patients on their journey to recovery. Thank you!

The Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation took longer than usual to work for me, but I have had depression for 45 years. The treatment and the guidance in adjusting my medication has really made a positive change. I feel much more myself and can feel hopeful again. Thanks to Dr. Au and the incredible staff, you all have been wonderful.
