Anita was very professional, understanding, and knowledgeable. Friendly and with a good sense of humor. Plan to continue to use her as my provider.
Update: Anita nailed my treatment on the very first visit. I haven't felt this good for decades. Wow, what a difference a little tweak makes. Thanks Anita

I completed lengthy paperwork, sent in photos of my insurance, gave the company my credit card information, arrived 20 minutes early and waited another 20 minutes. The provider never showed up nor did I receive any communication. Very unprofessional behavior. Would not waste your time booking an appointment with Anita Herrera.

Anita was wonderful, compassionate and funny and I left my first appointment feeling heard and validated. She listened to me and talked through my options, and we came up with a good solution and have a plan for adjusting dosage if needed. Highly recommend her for any women seeking treatment for ADHD, anxiety, and/or depression.
