I haven't even gotten ahold of anyone. The first time I called during hours twice and both times I was hung up on then today I called before hours and left a message and never heard back. I keep seeing "make and appointment. Make an appointment". I'm starting to think it's impossible. I'm not meaning to sound rude or anything but I tried to get ahold of a few therapists and it's ALL like this!

Dr Kafrissen is the most helpful and caring Dr I have ever been treated by. He's so easy to talk to AND HE LISTENS! He has a wonderful personality which helps to talk to him. He doesn't hurry u up to get out, he makes sure ALL ur questions r taken care of. I just wish I would've found him 40 yrs ago when I was a messed up person w no one to talk to. Thank you Dr Kafrissen. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌞 even his staff is wonderful and easy to talk to, helpful, I could go on and on and on!🌞🌟🤗👌👍
