Patient Reviews
Apr 22, 2022
Dr. Besner has been my psychiatrist for approximately 10 years. I have nothing but great things to say about his care. Because of his expertise I can honestly say I've improved so much that I barely remember those dark, confusing days. My quality of life is better than it has ever been. He is so understanding, well read, very compassionate and overall the best psychiatrist in Erie.
