In patients' words
"Dr. Mallett was excellent and reviewed my history, asked follow-up questions, listened intently and answered all of my questions with patience, kindness and was fully engaged."
— Dr. Kristin A. Mallett Patient Review"I would not recommend her to someone who is dealing with anxiety and or depression as she is insensitive and judgemental and belittling at times."
— Dr. Karen Palmer Patient Review"He is compassionate in his approach, but also holds our (okay…MY) feet to the fire when it comes to accountability with treatment plans."
— Dr. Steven Olive Patient Review"Her pat answer to every complaint is "exercise". She has missed 3 diagnoses, one very serious, with me. She does not spend time with patients."
