S. Brown (Patient)
“I have been seeing Dr. Suffren for many years and I can tell you that she has helped me tremendously. I suffered from depression issues that really made it hard for me to do just about anything. I am doing really well now with it. I can say she gave me back my life.”
M. Clarck (Patient)
“I am very happy with the treatment I have received from the team at Women’s Transitional Healthcare. I started seeing them a year ago for anxiety problems. I can’t even imagine where I would be if I hadn’t taken the plunge and seeked treatment from them.”
