I appreciated how Dr. Smith took the time to listen to me and explain thoroughly step-by-step the process of evaluating my mental health status. She explained the medication she prescribed in depth and the side effects.

Herdine is fantastic! She is exactly who I hoped she would be based on her Thriveworks profile and has already helped me so much just in the few weeks we've been meeting. I'm really excited to see what we can achieve together.
