What We Do

Dr Michael Hernandez is a board-certified Psychiatrist. He sees patients aged 18 to 64 years for a variety of conditions ranging from Depression and Anxiety to Bipolar Disorder and Alcoholism on Monday and Thursday afternoons only. He does prescribe Suboxone for opioid dependence only.

Kenda Dietrich is an LPC providing individual therapy services. She sees patients Monday-Wednesday. Please call for more information and availability.

Our Policies: Click here for our policies. Of note, Dr Hernandez does not prescribe Xanax, Adderall or pain medications.

New Patient Scheduling: When openings are available for new patients, we schedule new patients for the month beginning on the first weekday of the month (i.e. October 1 for October appointments). This allows our existing patients to schedule their follow ups first so that we do not overbook and so that quality time with the doctor is maintained for all patients. As of 7/10/2019, we have no openings for new patients. Our wait list is full and capped. We cannot estimate when we will have openings.

Insurances: We are not currently accepting insurance patients.

Announcements

7/10/19: I have been called for jury duty on Wednesday, July 17, 2019; so the office will be closed that day. Please take this into account when requesting refills.

As is always the case during non-office hours, if you have an emergency during this time, please dial 911 or go to the emergency room. If you have an urgent message, call the main line and leave a message with the answering service to be patched through. If you need a refill or have another non-urgent matter, again as is always the case, you may do any of the following:

•Dial the main line and leave a message with the service

•Send an email

•Send a text

•Put in a request via the website form at www.michaelhernandez.com 

All above will be received the next time we check in; none are faster than the others. Please be as detailed as possible (i.e. give the name of the med you need and the pharmacy to call into).



The below are adjustments to the standard office hours noted in left column on this page.

(We reserve the right to close the office any time patients are not scheduled.)
