I cannot recommend Dr. Herane highly enough. From my very first appointment, I felt truly heard, respected, and validated. They take a thoughtful, compassionate, and evidence-based approach to mental health, taking the time to explain treatment plans clearly and answer every question without ever making me feel rushed. Dr. Herane’s support has made a genuine, positive difference in my life, and I am so grateful to have him in my corner.

My recent visit went very well. Dr Herane took time to listen to my questions and concerns and answer thoughtfully. He also provided suitable recommendations for my treatment going forward.

Dr Herane is an astonishingly perceptive clinician. I recommend him from the bottom of my heart. With warmth and care and clarity, he has helped me think about my life, about who I am, from a perspective I’ve never ever considered before. It’s sounds cliche, but it’s life changing. He’s warm and caring and makes you feel safe to share, yes, but he’s also willing to challenge you to get to address the true root of your problems. It’s not just sympathy for its own sake. What also sets him apart is the rare advantage that he can offer both psychiatric and psychological care. Having both perspectives integrated means nothing feels overlooked. The care is holistic and complete.

Dr Herane is a great psychiatrist, I certainly chose well! Where do I start...he's a great guy, open-minded, patient and kind. My case is ongoing and has been very difficult but he's been more than accommodating with some of my crazy ideas. I know I will get there in the end with his help. I've had a bad experience with psychiatrists in the past, but you can't go wrong with Dr Herane :-)

Dr Herane put my life back on track - from what I can only describe as unstable hell to healthy and manageable. He is as intuitive as he is educated and his ability to understand your particular case & circumstances is second to none. Working on the basis of mutual trust and warmth, using his pharmacological insight, Dr Herane achieved what over ten other psychiatrists couldn’t. He is a pure expert when it comes to Bipolar

Dr Herane has been incredible in supporting my journey to better mental health. He has truly listened to me, understood my complex issues (which have historically been defined as treatment-resistant), and has worked with me to find solutions that have improved my health. I would recommend Dr. Herane to anyone looking for a psychiatrist who genuinely cares for his patients.
