Overall Experience
The reviews for Karen Gates, a psychologist, are mixed, with two reviewers having a positive experience and two having a negative one.
Positive Reviews
The first two reviewers, Andrea Kerti and Anna Broers, both gave Karen Gates a 5-star rating. They described her as kind, caring, and helpful, and recommended her to others. They praised her professionalism and compassion.
Negative Reviews
On the other hand, Kascio Gg and Jen B. gave Karen Gates 1-star ratings. Kascio Gg reported a missed appointment due to health complications, which Karen Gates allegedly failed to accommodate. When Kascio Gg went to pay Karen Gates in person, she was told to wait in the lobby, and then received a rude and abrupt phone call from her. Jen B. had a similar experience, describing a rude and dismissive phone conversation with the counsellor, which left her horrified.
