A Stepping Stone, LLC

"After cycling through numerous psychiatrists over the last few years, I approached my initial consultation with Dr. Gershom Hernandez with a blend of skepticism and hope. My past experiences had been marred by a lack of genuine connection and understanding, often leaving me feeling unheard and trivialized. However, from the moment I began my session with Dr. Hernandez, it was clear that this experience would be markedly different. Dr. Hernandez possesses a remarkable ability to make you feel at ease, creating an environment where open and honest communication flourishes. Unlike previous experiences where psychiatrists might talk over me or diminish my concerns, he listens with genuine interest and empathy, validating my feelings and experiences in a way that felt both empowering and healing. His down-to-earth demeanor and approachability made it incredibly easy to talk to him; it was akin to reconnecting with an old friend rather than navigating the usual clinical detachment. What stood out most, however, was Dr. Hernandez’s commitment to truly understanding and believing what I shared, without judgment or presumption. This level of attentiveness and belief in his patients’ experiences is rare and invaluable. It fostered a sense of trust and comfort that I had long sought but never found in psychiatric care. My appointment with Dr. Hernandez not only exceeded my expectations but left me genuinely excited for my journey ahead with him as my psychiatrist. His unique blend of professionalism, empathy, and genuine care has set a new standard for what I believe therapeutic relationships should be. I cannot recommend Dr. Gershom Hernandez enough to anyone seeking a psychiatrist who will listen, understand, and genuinely care for their well-being."

"I'm very impressed with how quickly I was able to make an appointment. Called on Monday, was sent paperwork via a portal immediately. I had an appointment the next Wednesday (as in two days later) and was able to pick up a new prescription that day. Their portal is easy to use, one can make an appointment, request paperwork and message the doctor without having to pick up the phone. It seems like a really well-run medical practice. I also appreciate the convenience of telehealth meetings. Plus it seems like they take many insurance plans."

"I have loved my time so far working with the people at A Stepping Stone! The front desk, therapists, and psychiatrists have been there for any support I may need or any question I might have. Everyone I have interacted with on staff has been compassionate, understanding, and diligent in providing anything needed! I genuinely could not recommend this office more."

"Stepping Stone has been fantastic. From the front desk to the Dr's, I've felt supported since day one. Dr. Hernandez was especially fantastic and I have no doubt that the entire staff at Stepping Stone is invested in helping their patients in any way they can."

"I reached out to multiple offices and Stepping Stone was the only one to reach out. The staff immediately was communicative and on top of any and all needs, questions and random wants that I had. My first meeting with Dr. Hernandez was comfortable, he was very pleasant and easy to talk to. I would recommend reaching out to Megan and the staff if you are in need of help. They are here for you."
