Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Incredibly Caring and Thorough

Karen works with my therapist to make sure my medications are effective. She is a scientist at heart, and stays well informed about the constantly changing world of Mental Health Medicine. She takes a caring, holistic view of my care, and I am lucky to be a patient.

12 years of care
Telehealth
Karen is a great practitioner. She is quick to respond to all communication. She is caring and listens to my concerns before figuring out ways to help. I have been seeing Karen for over a decade, since I was a teenager and now I’m in my 30s. She’s helped me through so many different life changes.

Compassionate and very knowledgeable
Telehealth
I’ve been seeing Karen for 3 years and she has been great with helping me maintain my treatment and keeping me on track with the right type of medication. She takes the time to listen and offers her expertise where needed. For me, it was with understanding my lab results and what not to over concern myself with.I will miss Karen as I have to switch providers due to my new insurance. I highly recommend her and give her 5 stars without a doubt.

Compassion, Intelligence, & Collaborative Medicine
Telehealth
I have seen Karen for nearly 15 years. She has spent countless hours understanding my mindset and helping me navigate new and changed medications over the years. She has coached me through some of the most painful moments in my life, working with me to overcome agoraphobia and a manic state when I first met her, divorce, and remarriage. She helped me to navigate two pregnancies on meds that were impacted by PPD, so much loss, waves of grief, teenage S.A., anxiety attacks, neurodivergence, and a very toxic family. Quite frankly, I'm not sure I would still be alive if it weren't for her compassion, thoroughness, and willingness to give me a kick in the butt when I needed it.I'm moving out of state next month and had my last call with her this week. We both cried because 15 years is a long time to see the same provider, and we've been through so much together. She's certainly set a high bar for my next provider to meet. 10 stars for Karen!

Life Saver
I have been a client of Karen Anderson’s for over ten years. I cannot count the times I have depended on her to not only treat my severe depressive episodes, but to explain the complex reasoning behind which medications are right for the myriad symptoms I have experienced over the years. I am grateful for her knowledge, experience and willingness to go the extra mile and am thankful to Karen for being a medical professional I can truly depend on.

I sat in Karen Gardners chair as she injured my thyroid. Do not leave young peoe in Karen Gardner's care. The legal department of Mil-Franklin Counseling Center has been contacted. Do not see her at all. Who is the doctor overseeing her?!
