May 9, 2025Michelle K.Verified patient
I work third shift and I fell asleep waiting on my appointment, so I rescheduled with her on Sunday. I was able to reschedule pretty quickly and that was good and I sent her a message but I haven't heard back yet.

She was wonderful! She lives too far away to continue my treatment, but I wish she did. She was so validating and personable and listened and believed.
November 3, 2024April S.Verified patient
She was punctual, kind, thorough, and a great listener. She responded appropriately to what I said and asked questions, made suggestions in a way that I understood. I didn't feel talked down to, or confused about what was happening. I look forward to meeting with Fanta again at my next visit.

Absolutely amazing! I felt seen, understood and respected. Highly recommend if you’re looking for an exceptional provider that is passionate about helping you reach your mental health goals!
October 26, 2024Juwan S.Verified patient
Fanta is truly exceptional! She not only addressed all my concerns with precision but made me feel completely heard and understood. It’s rare to find someone who you can trust so easily with personal issues and who genuinely takes them seriously—Fanta is simply the best and I trust her fully. She took the time to listen carefully, thoroughly explained the causes behind my symptoms, and patiently walked me through the different medication options and how each would work. She exceeded every expectation, and it’s clear why she’s rated as one of the top professionals on this platform. Trust me when I say, you won’t be disappointed! Thank you so much, Fanta!
October 22, 2024Lisa H.Verified patient

September 17, 2024Mistin L.Verified patient
Best clinician I’ve ever had
August 14, 2024Patrick B.Verified patient
Fanta is amazing! She listens to you, she is not dismissive when I bring things up or talk about what is my ‘norm’ like so many medical professionals do. One of the biggest pluses for me personally is I can always reach her when I need to and she is very responsive. In the past with many doctors I have often gotten the “oh well” vibe which I have not I’ve time ever gotten from Fanta. I feel heard, never judged and could not be happier with the care I get with Fanta.
July 3, 2024Deborah W.Verified patient

Fanta is an excellent doctor with outstanding bedside manner. I would recommend her to any and everyone who needs the care she provides
March 22, 2023Kristine T.Verified patient
I told this woman I almost went to the hospital two days prior to my appointment for suicidal thoughts and she did not care. She never sent over my prescription and is impossible to get ahold of. Our appointment lasted FIFTEEN MINUTES out of the hour we had scheduled. Don’t bother with this provider
January 25, 2023Kailey K.Verified patient
God awful, she took 2 weeks to reply to me. I only got a response from her after I told her I was finding somebody else. She didn’t care about how the medication she prescribed was affecting me
January 20, 2023Edward C.Verified patient
Do not see this person under any circumstances. I could write a book on her inability to care for patients. She doesn't respond to emails, or texts even in times of need. I needed her to sign a return to work form that she agreed to sign during our appointment. The note never came... I emailed multiple times, texted etc. She never replied and now I am looking for a new job. To make it worse, I am a TEACHER! I HAVE TO BE AT WORK! This individual cannot care for patients and should not have the societal responsibilities that she has been given. The fact that this person can prescribe medication is honestly frightening. I still haven't heard from her about the note. Please trust me when I say that this provider cannot be trusted to care for you. All I needed was a form signed.... imagine if I was in the hospital and needed her, which has happened in the past. ... incredibly unprofessional, bordering on intentional disrespect.
January 6, 2023Kyle S.Verified patient
Absolutely do not go to this practitioner or psychiatrist, therapist? Honestly I was so confused on what her specialty was after she recommended me to seek a psychiatrist for my diagnosis? Our first and last initial visit only lasted about 30 minutes.. absolutely no help with medication management. Oh yeah, also be prepared for a high bill towards your "covered" insurance. I would stay away.
December 8, 2022Initials hidden
Very kind and caring provider. However, I feel like her medication recommendation was not carefully considered, and she didn't take enough time to understand my condition and medication history.
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
Fanta is patient, knowledgeable, and empathetic. I felt heard and she clearly communicated what to expect with the medication I started. I would definitely recommend to anyone in search of a provider.

Zocdoc was recommended by a close friend.
I met with Fanta for my first and last appointment 1 week ago today. We discussed my symptoms and what medication would help. As far as I could tell
the appointment went well.
Immediately following our online appt I emailed my pharmacy details.
Still no Rx despite almost daily attempts to contact her via her personal phone, her personal email and Zocdoc email.
I should not have to pay for my useless appointment and I will be cancelling my follow-up one.
Zocdoc is doing nothing to help me other than sending me a sympathetic response to my complaint.
So unprofessional.
September 18, 2022Theresa F.Verified patient
This nurse practionier completely forgot to call in my prescription.
After multiple attempts of emailing them, she still sent in the prescription to the wrong place requested. I had followed up immediately after the appointment to request she send the prescription over to cost effective drugs where my prescription prescribed would be 60 dollars cheaper than going through CVS. Instead today, she finally sent the prescription over to CVS who will not be able to transfer the prescription over to cost effective drugs. As a result, I will have to borrow money from a friend or family member due to her lack of communication. I highly recommend not going through this nurse practionier as she will not read any of the emails that you send her. As a result of her not calling in my prescription, I have been off my mediation now for two weeks since 8/5/2022 and have gotten in trouble at work.
