I recently had the opportunity to receive care at Dare To Care Too, and I cannot speak highly enough of my experience. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was met with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that immediately putShow more me at ease. The front desk staff were incredibly efficient and friendly, quickly handling the registration process and answering all my questions with patience. The waiting area was clean and comfortable, with ample seating and a calm, soothing environment.
I am so happy to be treated by Joy Ellis-George. She is absolutely wonderful! She truly understands and wants to help me get better. I look forward to our sessions.

Dare to care is a wonderful practice. I have grown a whole lot mentally. I don't know where I would be if it weren't for Nurse George's care and listening.
I have been to many different doctors and therapists and Ms Ellis-George is by far the best! She listens to me and tries her best to come up with a plan that works for me. She is all about her patients and helping them get better. It is obvious that she doesn’t do this for the money but for the simple reason of helping those who are struggling and that’s exactly what makes her such an amazing Doctor and Therapist.
