“Mr. Hawthorne is one of the most compassionate and attentive providers I’ve met. From the very first visit, he created a safe, welcoming space where I felt genuinely heard and respected. He took the time to really understand my concerns, explained everything clearly, and worked collaboratively with me on a treatment plan that felt personalized and manageable. I never felt rushed or judged — just supported. His calm, professional, and empathetic approach makes a real difference. Highly recommend Mr. Hawthorne to anyone seeking thoughtful, patient-centered mental health care.”

“Super supportive and willing to listen. Overall, very kind and not paternalistic (hard to find in doctors these days). Would recommend to anyone who wants their own understanding of their needs to be taken seriously! ”

Michael was both compassionate and direct in helping me understand my behavioral patterns and talk through potential paths forward. I felt comfortable opening up to him and am looking forward to getting to work with him more often in the future.
May 12, 2025James B.Verified patientVideo visit
I scheduled with these provider based on availability indicated on ZocDoc. I completed new patient paperwork and personal details about why I was seeking an appointment and then one day later the provider's office reached out to me saying that the time-slot I selected was not available and offered a time-slot with his colleague who I had no information about. I searched out this provider and was disappointed to be handed off to someone else. I rescheduled with the original provider a week later after being mislead about sooner appointments but eventually found someone who honored the time listed as available on their ZocDoc profile. I canceled this appointment but their office did not update ZocDoc. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PROVIDER.

In the website it says my insurance is accepted but they texted me that they don’t accept my insurance it’s my second with Dr and something is fishy about them
