See what our patients are saying about Robert Herman

I feel like I struck a gold mine when I found Dr. Herman! He's everything I could have asked for in a clinician. Professional. Knowledgeable. Personable. Direct. Empathetic. And overall just a kind spirited being. Needles to say, these are all of the qualities you want your clinician to possess when you are in a journey of healing. Dr. Herman listens before speaking. He processes before recommending. And he educates before prescribing. The staff in his office are also kind. The wait room is clean, quiet, and has good energy. I definitely recommend Life Stance to anyone serious about healing, and ready to move forward in that journey. Be Well.

I have been seeing Dr. Herman for almost a year for my Bipolar II and Anxiety. He is very knowledgeable and he makes everything easy to understand. He makes a point of having us reach out in between appointments to give him updates on how we are feeling and if the meds are working. I was diagnosed as Bipolar II when I was a teenager and Dr. Herman is the first Doctor I have seen since that initial diagnosis that I feel confident in. He is a great Doctor and a very nice person. I’m lucky to have found him and LifeStance in general.

Dr. Herman is an amazing doctor! He really cares about his patients and has always helped me and those I know.He is also so involved with the community and legislation to further help patients. I’m so thankful I had the opportunity to know and work with Dr. Herman. If you want a doctor who fights for you and is always in your corner, then Dr. Herman is who you should see. Yes, there’s often a long wait, but, sometimes you have to wait to see the best.

My appointment with Dr Herman was excellent and very personable, covering my personal therapy and analysis of my being with Great sensitivity and understanding. Although we both feel a direct therapy session is a greater value, given my inability to appear in person, the supported video conference session was extremely helpful to my therapy session with Dr. Herman… and I loved the closing punch line…bye son…;;;
