“I would highly recommend Dr. Absar Tahir to all of my friends and family. He was extremely thorough and attentive to detail during our appointment (for an ADHD screening), making sure to get the fullest possible picture of my medical history. He is also extremely kind, understanding, and easy to talk to, in addition to being very knowledgeable in the field of psychiatry. I will definitely be seeing him again in the future!”

The office had no idea of my appointment, not good. They offered to reschedule me 15 days out. No good.
