I have been seeing Dr. Llamas for the past 3 months now and he has been nothing but EXCEPTIONAL! I've seen a handful of psychiatrists over the course of many years and NONE OF THEM has been as kind, compassionate, thoughtful, and considerate as Dr. Llamas. I have never met a DNP-prepared Psych Nurse Practitioner before but …

“Genuinely One of the Kindest and Most Caring Doctors I've Met”
Dr. Llamas is by far one of the best providers out there.
Out of all the psychiatrists that I've ever had, he is genuinely one of the kindest and most caring doctors I've met.
He really took his time to explain my diagnosis and treatment plan and I find his approach to be very informative and respectful.
He always makes me feel comfortable and never pushes me to take any medications that I don't feel comfortable taking.
I hope more doctors can be like him!!

“Dr. Llamas is the only doctor I've liked. Would definitely recommend him without hesitation.”
I have seen 5 different psychiatrists and Dr. Llamas is the only one I've liked. I have been misdiagnosed by every other doctor until I started seeing him. He told me that he thought I had bipolar 2 disorder and within 5 minutes he put me on new meds and I started feeling much better soon after. Would definitely recommend him without hesitation.

“I AM SO FORTUNATE TO HAVE FOUND DR. LLAMAS!”
I am so fortunate to have found Dr. Llamas and am full of gratitude for the positive changes I've experienced since I became his patient in January. I was referred to Dr. Llamas by my therapist after going through a divorce and felt pretty lost emotionally. I had never been to therapy and was unsure of what to expect but he made me feel very comfortable and was so easy to talk to. He is extremely knowledgeable and humble and empathetic; he genuinely cares and it shows. THANK YOU!

“Dr. Llamas truly listens to his patients!”
I was very hesitant to come here after reading some of the reviews online. But this place just hired a new Nurse Practitioner and he was absolutely great! He really made me feel comfortable and like a real person! Unlike some other doctors out there who simply sees you as a number.
Dr. Llamas really listened to me and made some changes to my medications and now I'm feeling a billion times better than before!!!!!

“Dr. Llamas himself was an excellent provider for me.”
Dr. Llamas himself was an excellent provider for me. He was the first psychiatric nurse practitioner I'd ever started working with, and I had chosen him since he was the ONLY doctor available through my insurance that had any type of positive review written about him online. The type of relationship you build with your provider is crucial, and thankfully he was AMAZING! He really took the time to listen to me which meant a lot.
I would definitely recommend to anyone who's on the fence seeking c

“Dr. Llamas is prompt, friendly, kind-hearted, and knowledgeable”
Dr. Llamas is prompt, friendly, kind-hearted, and knowledgeable about the intricacies of psychiatry. He doesn't jump to conclusions and allows me to express what I'm truly feeling. The appointment never felt rush and he really gave me his undivided attention. I was very pleased with the entire experience!
