Listened to me and also made conversation so I was comfortable. So far it’s been great!
She is always a blessing to have as a provider.
Kendra can’t be any more supportive and helpful than she already is. She’s phenomenal.
Please just let me know exactly what's going on with me like I haven't really been updated on my diagnosis I know what's been said to me a long time ago though miss Kendra really made me feel like I wasn't just a patient and I just appreciate her listening to me for a bit and I like how she spoke to me and not at me though I had a lot of anxiety today I really stayed focused on breathing techniques especially when I went to the ER after biting a baby dill pickle with glass in it my blood pressure went up but I remembered what she said about me getting through this and I know I will ive been working on being stress free too
I felt more connected to her than my therapist she heard me and helped me.
She is doing what she can to help and really working with me and most importantly she's listening and hearing me and my concerns. I can not add to what she can do better she's doing great!
She really listens and talks about opitions.
So understanding and compassionate.
Very nice, polite & easy to speak with!
She was wonderful. I'm very happy with how she took care of me and worked with me. She made me feel very comfortable after being initially nervous. She listened and was very kind. I don't think she could have been better than she already was. I'm very thankful for her help. 😊
I was pleased with my online visit.
Missed appointment, will reschedule
Mrs. Kendra Back has done a wonderful job with helping me with my mental health. She listens very carefully and she provides me with the care I need to get better. She is very attentive and very nice!
Kendra always LISTENS to how I feel instead of telling me how I should feel. She supports my goals and really couldn't do a better job. I really appreciate her care. I feel like she speaks my language.
I have only has one session, but she was very thorough and I appreciated the time she took to figure out the right medication for me, so we will see how this change in medication helps.
Kendra is Amazing! She went above and beyond to listen to me and my needs! I’m grateful i found her and she is guiding me through this process! Thank you Kendra!
She does a great job. I feel blessed to have her as my practitioner.
Kendra has been amazing! I can talk to her without being self conscious
