I don't know where to start. I've been coming here for years, at least 8-10 years. This place is my…read moresecond home. I know over the years and through the pandemic things have changed. Thee OG staff I do miss. There's two Drs and 1 remaining assistant that I cannot recommend enough. Firstly, D.O Daniel W Lane literally saved my life. I've been his patient for many years prior to him working here at this location. I've had a lot going on in my life over the last decade and he's been with me every step of the way. He's so passionate about what he does and helping people. He genuinely and wholeheartedly cares about people in general but especially us (his patients). He's so dedicated and committed to helping me in my mental health journey as well as my entire health. He's very intelligent, knowledgeable not only in his field (psychiatry) but medicine, and general medical practice. He's well seasoned. Thorough. Understanding. He's amazing at listening. He makes it a priority to really know you, how you think, your life. He never makes decisions without consent or my opinion. It's really a team effort type of treatment. He always wants to make sure i feel comfortable and safe. There's very few people in this world that I trust and he's 1 of them. When I'm feeling really depressed, spiraling, if something major happens or need to give any updates or just need support he's always there. I can go on and on about how awesome he is, how he's beyond an amazing Dr, how he sets an example of how Drs should really be and how we as patients should be treated, how he holds himself accountable and sets high standards for himself. Dr. Lane can never ever be replaced. He is a rare type. I'm so blessed to be a patient of his. He himself is a blessing. I appreciate him and hope he knows how thankful I truly am.
Now, Verenice Dr. Lanes right hand "man" woman. Not only are they the Best combo working together, they complement each other but they share the same qualities and values. She really cares about my ( our us patients) wellbeing but she really loves helping others. I've relied on her countless times more like all the time. I can call her, leave her a message, an email and she always responds, she always shows up no matter what. She follows through. I'm beyond confident in her. The amount of support, the emergency sessions she's booked for me, the phone calls where I've cried on the phone, the endless amount of kindness and compassion and empathy she's shown. She also gives so much of herself. I'm so lucky to have her in my corner. I appreciate her as well. I honestly can't give her and Dr. Lane enough credit. Not only do I recommend on her, on any website, but to everyone in need of help. If you are lucky enough to be treated by Dr. Lane you will never ever want another Dr and will always compare every specialist and staff to him and Verenice.
And for the Grand finale Amy Herter :) has been my therapist, my go to, my sounding board, my unconditional daily support system. I see her multiple times per week for years. Dr. Lane actually referred me to her for CBT and I'm so thankful for that because I couldn't have made it through, I couldn't have progressed thus far, I couldn't be a better person without her. She's non-biased and genteelly tells it how it is when needed. She kindly encourages me in my daily life taking in consideration all my health problems, my chaotic family and life problems. She celebrates all my small and big wins and talks me through life's challenges and disappointments. She has and continues to just sit with me even in silence so I can breakdown, ramble just so that I don't feel alone and feel safe to be so vulnerable with her. I never feel judged by her. I trust her so much. I'm comfortable with her. No matter what time or day I know I can always call her or text if I need her support. She offers so much. She's so friendly, she's funny, totally down to earth, she's brilliant. She's experienced in so many categories and life itself. She's very loyal. Very honest. Amy embodies all the amazing qualities as one would want in a friend by really setting thee perfect example. She helps me to realize how important I am in life and how deserving I am. When I can't find my purpose Amy reminds me of all that I have. I couldn't survive without her. For anyone looking for or needs or wants to try therapy HANDS DOWN you need Amy.
