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.

I've been seeing Dr. Hermann for 9 months now and my experience with her has been positive. She is one of the few reproductive psychiatrists in the state and is an expert in her field. She is also responsive, always replying to my emails within 24 hours. Most of all, she is a good listener and puts a lot of care into my recovery. I highly recommend her.

Great Provider – Jun 17, 2021
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Hermann?
I’ve been seeing Dr. Hermann for eight years to manage manic depression. Under her care, these have been the healthiest and most stable years of my life. Instead of just managing meds based on labs (which past doctors have done) she takes the time to listen to my hopes, fears, and stressors. When considering potential challenges that will impact my mental health management (ex. Potential pregnancy, a new medical condition, major professional changes) she helps me understand and weigh the potential risks/benefits and chart a course forward that makes sense to both of us. I highly recommend Dr. Alison Hermann.

After feeling hopeless in finding a reproductive psychiatrist, I stumbled upon Dr. Hermann and I’m so glad I did. She was clear and concise in next steps and she made my husband and I feel comfortable. I’m looking forward to working with her!

Dr. Hermann is like that Tina Turner Song: "Simply the Best". She is one of the most professional psychiatrists as well as one of the most compassionate. She works diligently and persistently to help her patients. Her staff are also professional and kind. I worked with her when I had serious postpartum depression which she helped me overcome. More recently I reached out to her during the height of the pandemic and she continues to be extremely helpful during these very challenging times. Additionally, as a psychiatrist in a renowned teaching institution, she is always at the forefront of the best practices and it shows. Thank you Dr. Hermann!

Dr Hermann is fantastic. She isn’t cheap and doesn’t take insurance really, but her rates aren’t unreasonable, if you have out-of-network coverage. She’s the best psychiatrist I have ever seen, by far. The clinic is also well-run, has good hours and friendly, well-organized front desk staff.

Dr. Hermann deserves all of the recognition in the world for her dedication to patient well-being, kindness, and seemingly endless knowledge base. I greatly look forward to my visits with her because she is so insightful and intelligent, a trusted source of the most up-to-date information delivered with just the right dose of empathy. What I appreciate most about Dr. Hermann is her sincerity. She so genuinely believes in her patients and their capacity for self-improvement. I think it’s this sense of realistic optimism that allows me to relate to her so readily. I recommend Dr. Hermann for all people in need of help, but in particular to those who feel open to hearing the truth from someone who really cares. And remember, she was Chief Resident at Columbia and completed a Fellowship — this is no small feat and should not be taken for granted for a second. Many thanks to Dr. Hermann and her staff.

Dr. Hermann is compassionate, very competent, and a professional through and through. She recommended a less known course of treatment for a very rare condition, was incredibly knowledgeable and well-read on the literature, and I credit her willingness to listen, make a difference, and expertise to where I am today. I whole heartedly recommend her.
