KeLeFiTz

My mom had the great fortune of coming across Dr. Montgomery when I was in desperate need of someone who would listen to me. I have been under Dr. Montgomery’s care for the past six weeks and have found myself in a completely different state of mind from when I first came here. Dr. Montgomery and her colleague Mrs. Peacock are true gems, and the work that these two amazing women do for their patients goes above and beyond what any other mental health professional will most likely provide to someone in desperate need. These two GET IT and I would recommend them to anyone I come across in the future who is in l need of an outstanding psychiatric team.

I've been a patient of Dr. Montgomery for around a year now and I highly recommend her for treatment. Dr. Montgomery has a wealth of knowledge as a medical professional especially in regards to handling my issues with suffering from major depression and ADHD. She will always offer a practical, straight forward approach /advice to treatment for solving my issues. I must say that I am incredibly happy with the care that I have received and I look forward to my visits. Dr. Montgomery really listens and because of this, her treatment is very effective . I highly recommend her and shall continue seeing her as a patient long term.
