"Effy's practice has been a transformative experience for our family, especially for my son. Coping with mental illness has been incredibly challenging, and after trying numerous providers, finding Effy was like finding a beacon of hope. She didn't treat us like just another number; her holistic approach provided exactly what we needed. Thanks to her, my son has regained his life. We are forever grateful."

Effien is, without hyperbole, the best psychiatrist I've ever had. Everything about my interactions with her has been wonderful - she's gone above and beyond my care many times - but I want to specifically call attention to her responsiveness. I'm thinking if you're reading this review, you may have had psychiatrists in the past, and if you're anything like me, those docs were almost impossible to get ahold of at times. Which can get really scary when it comes to medicine refills or prescription consultations. Effien has not once missed a prescription refill - many times I can see the prescription order come through while I'm on the meeting with her. It's unbelievably reassuring. If you're looking for a psychiatrist in the area, please reach out to her!!

Compassionate, professional, insightful the adjective I could list to describe dr king is endless. If you’re looking for a mental health provider your search should end here. The name of her practice says it all.

Effie is the most caring and amazing doctor I have ever had. She is very professional and is very concerned about your well-being. Any time I have called, there was always someone there to take my call and Effie is always quick to respond. I've never had any problems getting a refill on my medications when I need them. She goes above and beyond the call of duty and I am blessed to have her as my Doctor. Thanks, Effie

What can I say about Effie? I say the truth. She takes life situation and barriers, your feelings and struggles, your goals and aspirations, and makes a plan with you. It’s not black and white. She has an extremely unique gift to be able to see the big picture in my care. No magic pill exists and she treats me like a human, not a science experiment. It takes special talent to see someones whole situation, and respond accordingly. A balance of medication ,of course, but also a holistic approach, rich with self care and wisdom. She’s responsive and timely . She goes up and beyond.She cares about her patients. I am forever grateful for her , and her approach of treating every human, as an individual, as it should be. Thank you so much.
