Dr. La Nita Hood, DNP

Dr Hood is easy to talk to. She is kind and really cares about her patients. I have been seeing her for over 4 years and I am so glad to have been referred to her.

Dr. Hood is one of the best psychiatrists I have ever worked with personally or professionally. Her knowledge, counseling approach, and empathy are just a few of the highlights of working with her. Her self pay rates are affordable, and her office is warm and supportive.

Dr Hood is patience, a great listener, and offers sound and practical advice.

So glad I found this practice! With COVID it's been more than difficult to say the least, plus several deaths in the family have not made it any easier. Dr. Hood is an outstanding provider and I couldn't be happier with the quality of service she provides for not only my mental, but also my medical health. And the fact that she is sensitive to the whole pandemic situation & offers telehealth appts. is a weight off my chest & definitely helps me keep my anxiety about the pandemic in check. My insurance recently told me they wouldn't cover telehealth for a new round of "physical therapy" appointments - of all things (which wasn't going to be more than the exercises they had given me to do at home several months before COVID)! But, I'm glad that I have no problems with anything at Dr. Hood's office. I'm very well taken care of, she listens, and is spot-on in my treatment and medication. She and her staff are professional, empathetic, & courteous. And I'm grateful to her for my progress!

Do not use or go to this provider or practice unless you want to have a negligent and unresponsive experience. I was a patient of this practice and needed to have a refill completed for my medication. I called 7x (6/24, 6/28, 7/12 x2, 7/23, 7/27) and emailed 3x (6/19, 6/24, 7/12) and didn't hear back from the office until today 7/30 regarding my condition or refill. And when when I finally heard back the rudest receptionist ever called and got an attitude with me because I inquired about why it took so long to hear back. I would never recommend this clinic, some people are in healthcare just for the money and I definitely think this place is one. This is SUPPOSEDLY a mental health provider and I can only imagine how this could've went wrong if I had a serious mental health issue. Of all providers, this is the one that should reach back out to her patients. It was just a very unpleasant experience that I will be reporting...

Dr Hood was very easy to talk to. I was referred to her by Kelly Wells, she prescribed me medication for a few months and continued to as I moved out of MD, I agreed to pay out of pocket as my health insurance was no longer in MD. After 2 months she waited until our scheduled appointment to have her secretary call me and let me know that I was being dropped and would no longer receive service from Ms. Hood because I was living out of state. (Which She has been well aware) It is very dangerous to stop taking medication for mental issues without lowering the dosage . The new state I live in has absolutely no availability for mental health services. This has been a very rough time for me but better me than someone else whom may be living with more severe issues. Don't waste your time or put your mental health at risk.

I love my time spent with Dr.Hood. She has always been attentive and responsive to my medical needs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great practitioner

My appointment was cancelled with no notification. I was instructed to procure additional documentation from my specialist and in an attempt to call the office and email the information, I found out my appointment was cancelled. They use email to confirm appointments, not phone calls, but I spoke very in detail with both the doctor and her scheduler, so to find out through my own effort that my appointment was cancelled was in extreme poor taste. When I attempted to reschedule, they now have nothing available in the timeframe we require. Their was no verbal emphasis of canceling an appointment due to not responding to an email; and after I spoke directly to the doctor, I was truly disappointed they would do such a thing -- and again -- I got no notification! Emails and technology sometime fail. I would hate to have had my grandmother scheduled for an appointment and left to figure email to confirm an appointment or else her appointment be cancelled.

Doesn't get any better. At 56, I've been to a lot of doctors over the years and after speaking with Dr. Hood once, I knew she was the ONE. When you think of all the things that go into a perfect doctor, she is encompasses all those things. I couldn't be happier and more blessed that I found her.

I love coming to Dr. Hood. She's awesome. She makes you very comfortable. I love staff as well especially Carla.

I've been a patient of Dr. Hood's for the past 5 years, and I highly recommend her to my family and friends. I've always found her to be pleasant, caring, and compassionate. I used to hate going to the doctor for anything; but because she is reassuring I feel very comfortable about her managing my healthcare needs.

Extremely friendly and understanding!

After a really difficult time finding a new psychiatric provider, Dr. Hood was amazing. She and the rest of the staff I interacted with were thorough, empathetic, and professional. I felt heard and cared for more than at any other practice I've been to for mental health. Thank you to Dr. Hood and her fantastic team!

My boys was seeing another doctor in the practice and now switched over to Dr. Hood. She has bought change to their lives and now we are making progress. I would strongly recommend her.
