Angela E. Partida, MD

Dr. Partida is by far the very best doctor I have ever been to. I am so thankful for her. She has changed my life.

Dr. Partida is, by far, the best doctor that I’ve ever had the pleasure to be treated by. I’ve seen my fair share of specialists. I could go over the list of traumatic life experiences, but everyone has their struggles. Right?
I had no idea that I was ADHD. I always thought that my lack of focus, inability to remember, not being able to sit still in a movie theater, ect. was due to stress. Nope. At 25, I have been certifiably diagnosed with something I used to write off as a joke diagnosis. It really hasn’t been until my current job that I realized how much I was actually struggling with multitasking. It’s been life altering.
Dr. Partida specializes in anxiety disorders, attention deficit disorders, and depression. She does standard psychiatry but also offers therapy for all of those things in life that don’t seem to go our way. Loss of a loved one, divorce, marital counseling, and overall depression. To name a few.
She takes insurance, so check your policy. Most health plans have psyc. coverage. Her location couldn’t be more convenient, which is just a bit off from Wesleyan on W. Alabama.
As I’ve stated before, I’ve seen tons of doctors, specialists, and people who claim to be the best in their field. This is by far the only person I can honestly say listens to me and somehow gets me to say what I’m feeling despite thinking I couldn’t put it in to words. As the years have gone on, my anxiety has gotten to all time highs. It’s a battle everyday. I finally feel like I have a resource that not only picks up on verbal cues but physical as well. She lets me make decisions on where I think my medication should be, based on how it’s making me feel. That makes me feel like a respected adult and not like a child, as most practitioners have a tendency to do.
It’s not easy to pen out that I deal with this daily. I don’t prefer for strangers to know that I see a shrink, but if this review can help anyone who may be dealing with their own mental battle or day to day anguish, then it’s completely worth it.
I’m the healthiest I’ve felt since childhood. Thank you Dr. Partida. You’ve changed my life.
