Dr Sarah Rings has helped me in ways no other doctors could mentally! She actually cares, understands, and gives excellent advice! Unlike many health care professionals I have dealt with, they always made me feel misunderstood. Thankyou Dr. Sarah Rings for everything you are doing for me!

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
One of the women at the front desk is very rude every time. She has made me cry about 3 times. My family member was trying to set up services for themselves and she hung up on them after being rude and short-tempered.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Great provider. I never feel rushed during appointments. She is very thorough and listens to me. She is on top of any medication changes as needed. Sarah is friendly, helpful, and competent. She explains things in detail and makes me feel heard when I have concerns or questions. She is excellent at documenting any changes in symptoms, which is very helpful with medication changes or adjustments. Sarah was excellent when I was struggling and made time to speak with me via phone to discuss symptoms and make necessary medication changes. I see her in addition to a therapist for individual sessions. Both are excellent, and my overall mental health has improved since I began receiving services from both.

Jan 5, 2025
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Sarah helped me reach my potential by doing one thing. Listening and believing my opinion might have value since I do know my symptoms best. A good many could learn professionally from her on how they do not know the patient by hearing them twice.

Was there anything that you feel was outstanding?
She let me know when there was a medication shortage, and locations that might not have been affected. I was able to gain and maintain necessary levels thanks to that.

I have been Sarah Rings patient for years now and I won't see anyone else
Jun 26, 2024
Was there anything that you feel was outstanding?
Sarah listens and actually hears me. She understands my concerns regarding medications and background yet still helps in finding solutions when my anxiety and depression are out of control. Sarah is an excellent provider and has made accommodations to return my phone call one day when I was really struggling with anxiety. She does her best to get me appointments closer together when I seem to struggle. She is the only provider I have ever had that was able to really listen to me and make medication adjustments that actually work for me. I believe my treatment with Sarah paired with therapy with Nancy [ ]. is helping manage my mental health symptoms as well meet with overall health/behavioral health goals. The office staff is really great and friendly as well. [Personal details redacted for privacy.]
What could have been done to improve your experience?
Nothing much that I can think of. Sometimes I wish Nancy and Sarah had more availability at times. But both do an excellent job of getting me in if they have cancellation or a spot opens up. Overall my experience with my service and service providers has been excellent.
