Ann Arbor Psych

I have had a great experience here. It's very easy to schedule appointments online, both for intake and follow ups. Most of my appointments are online as well, So I can work around my work schedule. The intake paperwork (actually, an online form i could finish at my own pace, not a paper form to fill out and bring in) was pretty long so it took some time to finish it, but I really appreciated how thorough it was. The fact that so many questions were asked in the intake made it clear they are very thorough. There is at least one provider here that understands the challenges of being raised as a woman and having ADHD that presents differently from the stereotype of ADHD. She is familiar with the different ways ADHD can present, especially for adults that haven't yet been diagnosed or were late diagnosed. I have had providers quite literally wave away my questions about ADHD previously, but she heard me out and explained the ways that ADHD shows it's signs and symptoms differently in some people, and after going through the diagnostic process explained to me what she noticed as signs so I better understood my condition and didn't rely on old stereotypes and misinformation. My provider listens attentively, trusts me to report my positive and negative experiences, and will respond helpfully to my requests or suggestions. I am managing more than just ADHD, and she has shown me that she is very understanding and knowledgeable about the multiple things I'm dealing with, both managed by her and also what I'm managing with other doctors. When she has declined a request (such as when I asked if a different medication may work better than what I was taking) she explained the drawbacks of the medication that I didn't know about, so I still felt heard and I understood and trusted her expertise. Usually, however, she is very open to my requests or questions about dosage changes or other adjustments to get the safest and healthiest experience with my medication.

I adore Bruce Burkeen, PA. He provides the BEST care and has the best interactions/“bedside” manner I have ever experienced in my years interacting with medical professionals. He is passionate about my health and always willing to give me his time. I could not be happier with the quality of care I receive from him.
