Best psychiatric treatment I’ve ever had since I began my journey 20 years ago. Des is the best.
Despina is amazing! I can not say enough good things about her! She is so knowledgable and has helped me grow so much as a person!
DESPINA O'DOHERTY, has been a fantastic person to work with. She has answered all my questions and worked with me to find out what meds work for me and work together. She has found some meds that were contraindicated and corrected the situation. She also found out through genetic testing that the med I had been on was contraindicated on that test for me. She is wonderful to work with, with a great personality but when it comes time to tell the hard truth she does it with professionalism.
Des knows what she is doing. Very smart and knowledgeable about meds.

Despina is friendly and welcoming. She did a very thorough analysis with myself and my son to pinpoint where we may have to focus more attention. She did not try to push medication or over prescribe like many doctors do.
