Jamie

Sonja McFadden is a gem! She took her time and thoroughly evaluated my needs. The office staff is friendly, responsive, and considerate. If you’ve been frustrated with other providers, you’ll find these folks a breath of fresh air.

Ashley

“After 25 years of trying to find a dependable provider, I am absolutely grateful to have found Leva Psychiatry. Sonja McFadden is an excellent provider – patient, thoughtful, thorough – she truly listens. The staff is amazing; I have never felt so supported.

Maddisen

I’ve been seeing Laura LaMonica for about 3 months now, and switching doctors to her was the best decision I ever made. She is so easy to talk to and I’ve never felt more comfortable. In the short amount of time, she’s already helped me more than any other doctor has been able to.

Haley

Been going here the past 2 years. Laura is great and listens to all my needs and helps me get the meds I need. She’s so easy to talk to!! And you don’t feel like she’s prying. The front staff is great too, anytime I call and have a question Taylor and Kevin are so kind and eager to help

Sarah

If you are looking for a caring provider, Leva and the entire staff truly put patient care first. Mary has the ability to connect with kids and their families that makes all the difference in a real way by listening first. The entire staff cares about the patient’s experience.

Susan

Mary is a rare find in the mental healthcare field. She is top in her field, spending a great portion of time with her clients, as well as taking the necessary steps for effective treatment. The staff is empathetic and understanding, dedicated to providing the best quality care.
