Michelle Dawn Linke Shafa, MD

I appreciate the care my son and I received while we were in our appointment. Everything went well except for the long wait list to get to be seen in the first place. Most of our issues have resolved themselves over the past year while we were on the wait list and to have some guidance and services in that meantime would have been very helpful. I'm glad we're finally off the wait list and the care was good, but a way to shrink that wait list down would be amazing. Thank you so much. Bye.

Provider was easy to talk to, engaged and helpful.

She is excellent and worth the wait. In my experience, most psychiatrists know what they're doing, but are hard to connect with. Dr. Michelle is warm, patient, and reassuring. She explained her job to our 12-year-old, listened to and validated all of our concerns, and shared a plan for the next step. We were on a waitlist from May or June until November. The extra month was due to my teaching schedule. The wait is the only reason I'd be less likely to recommend this office-although I don't know if any other child psychiatry offices have shorter wait times.

I appreciate her patience, her asking good questions and also answering my and my daughter's questions.

She is very nice, answered all my questions and understood my son's attention span limitations.

She was a good listener and came back later in the conversation to a question I had about a particular medicine. She is very knowledgeable about the medications and explained them in ways that were very accessible to me as a non medical person. She understood my values and priorities and included them as variables in explaining impacts of taking or not taking particular medications. She is easy to talk with and my teenage son said so as well regarding the time he was on the call with her.

Thank you very much. I hope this works out.
