Karen Melendez

I have not had the virtual appointment yet so I can't give a review on the actual appointment but customer service up to this point has been extremely good. I have been treated enthusiastically and the staff were completely helpful with any questions I had. If the appointment goes well I will be a loyal client.

I’ve had excellent communications with my PA since my first appointment I would recommend Animo Sano Psychiatry.

The psychiatrists here have really gone above and beyond to meet my needs! They take the time to listen to you and they're available to message in case any problems arise. Plus, they're respectful of my pronouns and identity! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!
