I've been a patient of Doctor Hetnal for 25 years. He is a wonderful Doctor who truly cares about…read morehis patients. He is very professional, as well as very caring at the same time. He listens carefully, asks insightful questions and considers which medication would be most appropriate. He explains why he thinks a medication might be a good choice, and always goes over the possible side effects. He recommends psychotherapy if he feels it would be beneficial. He has given me incredible support throughout my late twenties up through my early 50's. I've had several ups and downs. I'm not an easy patient to work with. There is a reason I have always stuck with Dr. Hetnal. He is my rock. He always helps me deal with and overcome the challenges that have come my way. He goes above and beyond for his patients. He is the best.

I'm sure it is not easy being a doctor or any health professional, and I commend you for serving your community. I look forward to talking with you once you are back from Sabbatical.

Fantastic Rehab MD with a great bedside manner…read more ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ He has been a great help with my Neuropathic pain & other issues since my major back surgery a few years ago. He is very knowledgable & extremely competent. Even though I am in this field, you may not believe how incredibly hard it is to find great MDs in these times. I found this MD via word of mouth through my stellar dentist in town (Dr. Sulak) Many either retire if they can, or have to join a group to keep it going. In this MD case, he did have to go with Sutter, which I do not care for...but that is the way it is. Since I still have a house in Modesto, but live mostly in Pismo Beach, I do make a special trip to see him, my old dentist, & my old Psychiatrist (Dr. Cheang) ...since I can't find such good ones here. I am not happy to drive 4-5 hrs. each way to see these guys, but it is worth it. There is nothing more important than your health. Anyway, if I spend a weekend in precious time to go back & forth to see these clinicians that says it all. BTW- You need a referral from another clinician to see an MD with this group...no matter what insurance you have....one of the pain in the neck things you have to deal with with Sutter-Gould...but what can you do?

She is compassionate, understanding and truly listens to what you're saying. She was able to help me finally get on the right combo of meds & it has changed my life. If people are looking to "get off" meds or that's their end goal, they should be seeing a homeopath doctor, they focus on more natural routes. These few negative reviews do not represent this practice.

You cared about my mother's opinion of me, rather than my experiences. LINDA IS AN ABUSER. You traumatized me, my older sister, and my younger brother by not only being complacent, but fueling her abuse. You never gave me a chance. You gave me medication that made me worse, you didn't listen, you gave me booster, and watched as I gained 100 pounds in a YEAR. You never gave me a chance, I gave you FOUR YEARS of chances. I stopped seeing you, I left that house. And you know what? I'm giving myself the chance you never gave me. Not Breanna. My name was Breena. I doubt you'll remember me by the name I told you to use. You are incompetent, you didn't write a referral for surgery when I did the reasearch and gave you instructions, regulations to look into, to help. You need to change your field. You need to quit. You need to retire. You need to do everything to ensure you'll never see a patient again. I pity the people in your care, and I can only hope they can find a better provider. One who will listen.

I've been with this doctor for some years now in my teens and now in early adulthood. I always…read moreregretted an appointment with Dr Brar and hoping my mom could help me communicate my feelings to the doctor. Obviously that wouldn't work because I'm the one being treated and I need to express myself to get the help I need. But I can definitely tell you with confidence that I am extremely uncomfortable and insecure speaking with Dr Brar every appointment even if I'm trying my best to speak. Clearly in this field of work, you need to be a person that's easy to express personal extreme feelings to and Dr Brar is exactly who WOULD NOT fill in that position. She is extremely cold and inconsiderate. Whether it's me or my mom speaking, she cuts us off to get her words on the table. Dr Brar has rolled eyes and debated rather than discuss with us on treatment. I felt I was being ignored and I knew inside I needed more help than what I was taking. I ended up faxing to the office because I felt I could not speak to Dr. Brar. In her eyes, all I needed to do was exercise and work but I'm barely capable of living a normal life. It took me as far as being hospitalized for doctors to see how much help I needed, and even those doctors who didn't know me for years like Dr. Brar did were way more aware, considerate, and kind towards me. I was only there for 5 days meanwhile I've been with Dr Brar for almost 3 years now. Expect getting cut off, smart remarks, and a cold attitude if you schedule with Dr Brar. Definitely would not recommend, rather, I tell you not to schedule with her. I'm in search for another doctor in hopes I get better care.

Like another reviewer, I also had a bad experience with Dr. Aziz who didn't bother to show up for my appointment because my "paperwork was in the wrong place". She didn't even bother to hop on for 2 minutes and tell me this. After waiting on videochat alone for 45 minutes (because, ya know, trying to get help, and give the benefit of the doubt), I hung up, called the office, was told why she didn't log on, and cried to my husband, who called back to complain. Even before my husband called, Mary was on it, looking for a way to not let this experience be my last with Mindpath Health. Mary worked to get me an appointment with Anissa Brown and I will be forever grateful. Anissa is such a kind, personable, professional provider. She listens and offers options and education. I am always able to call the office and speak with Mary or Amanda with any issues and receive a prompt callback from them or Anissa. If you are looking for a psychiatrist, I highly recommend going with Anissa, or try a different location as appointments are telephonic/video. The intake process was smooth, and besides the unprofessionalism of Dr. Aziz, I have had nothing but great customer service and care.
