I’ve worked with Katie for years and she is beyond amazing!
Katie Brandon is the best Doctor I have ever had the privilege of seeing. She helped me change my life and got ME to get my life back on track. She will actually listen to you, treat you like a person and figure out the best route to help you, according to your specific needs. And if she can’t do something specific that you want, she will refer you to the best person that she knows of to help you. I don’t know what more you would want out of a doctor, other than that.
Katie Wheeler has been a lifesaver for our family. My husband suffers from mental illness and addiction. It is very difficult to find professionals that are capable of finding the right medications and therapies and who are also kind and caring. Katie has those qualities, plus she's intelligent, intuitive and a great listener. We know we can depend on Katie for appointments and help when needed.
Katie Brandon and associates have been the most compassionate, wonderful, easy to talk to professionals I have ever been to. You’ll never find someone else that is so willing to help you change your life for the better. She goes out of her way to make sure you are taken care of as a patient, isn’t that what we all want in a doctor? I could not recommend her and her practice enough. 10/10
Katie is absolutely amazing and my guardian angel! Having anxiety and depression is an absolute nightmare. I was in an extremely dark place way past what I could handle. She helped me not only out of that dark place, but still keeps me from going back. I would not be where I am today without her. Katie has helped me to be a successful business owner, a better father, better husband, and most importantly the best version of myself. Thank you for everything!
