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.

Myself and a few of my colleagues have been patients of Dr. Lino. Him and his staff have consistently provided compassionate, evidence-based care to those facing crisis and mental health challenges, with an evident commitment to improving emotional well-being, promoting recovery, and fostering resilience. Simply said, Dr. Lino is the best of the best.

So kind, humorous and understanding. He’s saved my life over and over again, at every appointment. The in-house psychologist Iris is also amazing.

Little to no questions asked about me or my mental status. Massive wait times and zero listening. Great prescription of the basic drugs but I can’t say they know me. I asked for what I know works for me and they ordered it, albeit after a massive wait time. Super disappointed, especially during a time of heightened emotional pressure on us all. No questions about how I’m doing... really??? Thankfully I’m on, but imagine those who aren’t coping well...

Massively disappointed – May 19, 2020
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Fernandez?
I like this Dr because he is extremely careful and conservative prescribilng the medications that he suggests. Even though he is asked to prescribe a medication, if he think is not the right choice, he will take the time to explain the reasons for his denial. So far I've been following Dr. Fernandez for many years and I get exactly what I need. His care and his knowledge is out of this world. I feel great, I feel balanced, I feel my self thanks to Dr. Lino Fernandez and his staff.Great team!! ??

This guy doesn't practice psychiatry, he hands out medication without caring or taking any time at all with you. Complete sweatshop operation. If you need pills easy without any real questions, this is your place. The staff is completely disorganized, then 3 years later I start getting bills again that they claim are from what my insurance would not pay, along with threats of sending me to collections if I don't pay an amount <$100. Total joke.

I am so greatful to Dr Fernandez for helping me with my chronic condition. After visiting a long list of psychiatrists, he was the one who discovered the right treatment for me on the first try. After three years seeing him I have not felt any symptoms again. I love life!!!! I love Dr. Fernandez!!!!

They will schedule appointments but you'll find a CLOSED office without any notice in advance.

Been here a few times now. Dr. Fernandez always takes the time to answer my questions, fully explain everything to me, and listens to how I'm doing. I used to go to a psychiatrist that would just write a script within 5 minutes of seeing me....let's just say I'm doing a whole lot better now.

Dr. Fernandez Takes the time to listen. Some times the wait is a little longer than others because he is doing his job. When I needed the time to be heard he was there, now that I am better I understand that others are been heard as well. It's not all about me! Dr. Fernandez is a great psychiatrist and human been!, I recomend this Dr.
