Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have over 15 years of experience with mental health professionals and this has been by far the worst experience I’ve had. I was never given much guidance or direction. She made lots of comments about being dismissive of other’s needs regarding her services. My grandfather died and I forgot to notify her as I had to fly out of state on short notice, I notified her of course of the extenuating circumstances at the time of our appointment when I realized I had let that fall to the wayside. She immediately brought up there being a fee which is very inappropriate at the time when it should not have been addressed until our following appointment.she cancelled all my future appointments without notice until I reached out to her to verify our appointment. I always worked with her last minute changes and she even had her kid in one of our sessions! Weird! She is unprofessional and lacks compassion. She only cares about the money! She took my family Emergency personally - very thin skinned.

Dr. Laura Fernandez is an amazing therapist who has over the past 8 months not only helped me get out of a massive depression but also helped me discover new sides and aspects about myself I would never have seen/realized without her help. Highly reccomend her to anyone in need of mental support and/or therapy.

She is an amazing psychologist! I would recommend her to anyone. She helped me grow and change in ways I will never forget. I learned how to have feelings and not to "suck it up" all the time. You will not regret visiting her.
