Elizabeth Alfson, M.D.

I’m a former patient of Dr. Alfson. I only stopped seeing her because I moved out of state and when I came back, she had moved. She is one of the good ones. One of the extremely rare good ones. With Dr. Alfson I truly felt listened to. She is the one mental health professional I have worked with that I felt like actually cared what happens with me. If she and I happened to disagree on something, it was handled in such a way that I felt like an equal in decision making and not like I was a hot mess and she the professional. What I mean is of course she gave her professional take always but she didn’t bulldoze over me and seemed genuinely interested in my take on things. I wound up being very grateful for one of those corrections on her behalf because she caught and fixed a prior misdiagnoses from another psychiatrist and it wound up really helping me. It’s years later and I got the chance to read all of the notes on me from our appointments and it made me feel even more grateful. In reading everything I felt there was an accurate representation of me which is not what I’ve felt from almost any other medical “professional” in my life. I wholeheartedly recommend Elizabeth Alfson.

After years of countless doctors not really listening to my problems. My 1st appointment with Dr. Alfson was so amazing. I brought my wife and she showed so much concern. I even broke down, cause she wrote down so much and prescribed and recomened the therapy I needed. Every appointment I never feel rushed. And leave so refreshed. She is a God sent beautiful human being.

I am a psychiatrist in Austin who refers Dr. Alfson. I am so impressed by her therapeutic skills and her ability to see the patient as a whole. She is attuned, knowledgeable (Harvard trained), and provides outstanding care. I highly recommend her without reservation.
