Excellent work! Very personable
Andrew Gernand was an excellent example of his title and his personality was insightful, as he explained certain reasons for benefits or negative results to certain medications I take and followed w explanation of better choices. He let me know that he was kind w a couple of smiles that helped assure me that he was here for me and understands what I might have said. He khas more knowledge than I had and I was so happy that he shared ideas and let me know that I had choices to how much care I wanted. Meeting a new mental health professional can be a bit frightening, especially if they act self absorbing. Andrew was totally professional and read my face w/ added assurance and explanation if I looked unsure of anything. He is the answer to feeling calm and happy when I needed help for my future.
Great listener, knowledgeable, positive,hopeful, honest.
nice and patient
