- Dr Herane is an astonishingly perceptive clinician. With care and clarity, he has helped me think about my life & myself from a perspective I’ve never ever considered before. He makes you feel safe to share, but he’s also willing to challenge you to address the true root of your problems. Not just sympathy for its own sake. What also sets him apart is the rare ability to offer both psychiatric and psychological care. Having both perspectives means nothing feels overlooked – the care is holistic.
- Dr Herane is a great psychiatrist, I certainly chose well! Where do I start...he's a great guy, open-minded, patient and kind. My case is ongoing and has been very difficult but he's been more than accommodating with some of my crazy ideas. I know I will get there in the end with his help. I've had a bad experience with psychiatrists in the past, but you can't go wrong with Dr Herane :-)
- Dr. Andrés helped understanding myself better and dealing with my ADHD. He is one, if not the, best therapist I’ve consulted, on top of a natural talent of making yourself comfortable and share everything via his approach.
- I’ve not been seeing Dr Herane for long but he has been a great help and I feel like I am and will continue to make good progress, would definitely recommend.
- In 20 years, this is one of the few times I’ve trusted the dr immediately. He found the exact doors to open, and made sure I understand what we are trying to achieve and how. in really little time he helped me turn my life around. And his assistant is super helpful and kind
- Dr. Herane creates a safe space without judgement and is very encouraging and positive. Very helpful to have him available on whatsapp for questions and in general supportive.
- Brilliant at a time in need. He is very compassionate, friendly and does not judge. Clearly very knowledgeable and talks you through everything in simple steps explaining pros & cons of different options. I have been receiving care for 3 months and always felt in very safe hands
- Appointment was very pleasantDoctor's response -much appreciated
