Personable and knowledgeable.
Verified patientVideo visit
He is a psychiatrist not a therapist. He did his job well and if anything went a little above. He asked just the right questions it may seem a little too personal but he has to know how to help you. It was intense but I felt confident and like I was in good hands I got my medicine same day and my appointment too. Very progressional straight to the point.

Akeem listen to my issues and concerns but ultimately could not diagnose. I am in the same position I was at the beginning of the appointment which is frustrating.

The provider was very patient and a good listener. He took the time to show that he listened to my problem and made good recommendations for next steps and options.
