Dr Linek is an amazing mentor to my 15-year-old daughter, who is interested in psychiatry. She took her under her wing and explained her profession and the path she took. She was very patient and even allowed her to sit in on patient care(With permission from the patient, of course).
Dr. Fey is truly one of the most compassionate and genuine healthcare providers I’ve ever had. She takes the time to truly care for each of her patients, and you can feel that in every interaction with her. She has always had my best interest at heart and is willing to help in any way she can. She’s the first doctor I’ve had who acknowledged that medication alone doesn’t always solve the problem, and instead encouraged me to give therapy another chance after years of unsuccessful experiences with other therapists. She thoughtfully recommended a therapist based on my personal needs, and I’m so grateful she did because it has made such a positive difference in my life. I genuinely look forward to our monthly video calls, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found a provider who listens, supports, and cares as deeply as she does.
