Client testimonials

"Excellent at responding quickly to scheduling first appointment."
- Zencare client • October 2022
"Dr. Freeman is the first prescribing doc I've worked with where I felt like my opinion mattered; and where we figured out the treatment path together. I like how he didn't seem bound to out-dated notions of treatment; nor viewed me as non-compliant for asking questions. Working with Dr. Freeman feels more like a partnership, where I have a voice and agency."
- Zencare client • March 2022
"Very helpful"
