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.

Wonderful medical provider! Listens patiently to my issues, provides specific feed back for my needs prescribes appropriate medication that helps. Highly recommend

Danica came highly recommended by my therapist and told me she is the best medication specialist she has come across in her years of practicing. I have been working with Danica for over two years now and have always felt safe and confident with her from our very first meeting. She not only is professional she is personable and cares for my well being. Danica listens and takes the time necessary to explain different medications. As well as the reasons behind taking them and how they will benefit me. I have worked with many different medication specialist over the past 20 years. Finally I have found the one who has truly made a difference in my quality of life!

I was having technical issues with my phone overheating during the telehealth session and was charged the full $300 with no option to waive the payment and reschedule. Also Ms. Oparnica was abrasive and short when I was able to speak with her briefly. I highly recommend finding someone else...

Danica has helped me tremendously. She has the understanding and empathy that helps me through critical moments in my life. She understands what I am going through in my life and helps me to navigate the difficult times. She also offers some study courses that help me with my focus. I highly recommend her!

Danice is wonderful. She listens, she doesn't interrupt, then she and I talk about my situation. I've gone to her for 3 years and I won't change. Besides being my mental health provider, I consider her a friend. Thank you Danica

Have been a patient of hers for several years, She does not listen when I explain the negative effects a certain medication has on me, continuing to push for higher doses. But when I think a different dosage is better, she casts my concerns aside. She does not seem to care about me as a patient, let alone as a person. She is also very bad about communicating with my pharmacy—I have been trying to get a refill on a medication for three weeks now. She does not return phone calls or emails—is very hard to get a hold of.

Danica, pronounced "Da - Niece - Iha", and not like DANICA PATRICK, the car driver, is the type of health care provider they just don't make anymore - CARING, UNDERSTANDING, WILLING TO TAKE THE EXTRA TIME WITH YOU. Sure, her office appointments always run a little behind, but everyone knows that is because everyone is getting extra time and amazing care, so you will never find impatient people mad or upset waiting for her. If you are searching for someone in this field, and you are reading this, you can stop your search now - you found the right person. Just hope she has space to get you an appointment. Thank you Danica Oparnica for being one of the good ones!

As a medical professional it's very difficult to come to terms when you need help. I reached out to Danica specifically because she was a NP. I was experiencing a very difficult time, that I am not sure I would have made it though without her. Danica has always treated me with integrity and respect. She was always available if I needed to be seen and never let me leave her office until I was OK. She looked at me as a whole person & provided names of medical professionals for my health issues. Behavioral Health Professionals are hard to find, Danica is an excellent Provider and I am so thankful I chose her!

I don’t know where I would be without Dr. Oparnica’s help. She has helped me through some of the most trying and tumultuous times of my life. In the last two years, I’ve experienced a terrible divorce and the loss of both of my parents. I think without Dr. Oparnica's kindness I would have fallen deeper into to my depression. I’d give her 10 stars if I could.

In the last 20 years or so and by several mental health care professionals I have never worked with anybody like Ms. Oparnica. You see, since the time I was diagnosed my meds have not change until my first visits with Ms. Oparnica who reassessed my symptoms and with my consent started trying out new cocktails to further improved my condition. I had no idea that I could feel so much better then what I have in the past and for it I am very thankful. Ms. Oparnica is not only professional but also knowledgeable and above all very caring.

For over 25 years I’ve had chronic insomnia. I’ve seen many doctors including psychiatrist’s and all they wanted to do is to is to play Russian roulette with medications, trying to find a drug that would make me sleep. Then I found Danica, I was asked questions about myself from present back to childhood. She wanted to find the underlying cause of my insomnia instead of just giving me another prescription. I told her she was a breath of fresh air, never have I seen anyone who cared so much about my well being as Danica does.

In my experience Danica is an expert at treating mental illness. She has found a combination that relieved my depression and severe anxiety. In the past I was unable to connect with several psychiatrists. Dana was very compassionate and patient, she takes time to understand whats going on.

Dr. Oparnica was extremely helpful in prescribing me the right medications. My panic attacks and anxiety completely disappeared on the medications she prescribed me. I wish I could continue care with her as I have moved to Texas and am having a hard time getting an appointment with a new provider. I recommend Dr. Oparnica.
