October 17, 2025Ekaterina P.Verified patientVideo visit
Great doctor, super thorough intake. I appreciated the attention to detail to get my medical history correct and to understand my current symptoms. He also took my concerns regarding past adverse reactions to medications very seriously and explained a lot, so I felt that I understood my treatment options. It was the longest appointment I’ve had with a psychiatrist!

I would recommend Dr. Aribara very highly to anyone struggling with anxiety. He patiently listened to me describe my symptoms and history, and asked relevant questions. I never felt rushed. He discussed various adjustment options to my treatment at the end. I am hopeful I will be able to deal with my anxiety flare-up with his help.

Dr. Aribara is great - appointment started promptly and I received clear instructions prior to my appointment. Dr. Aribara listens and asked me plenty of questions - I felt heard and understood. He gives clear instructions and expectations for treatment. Highly recommend.

Personable and knowledgeable.
November 29, 2024Ashley F.Verified patient
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.

February 26, 2024Brandon S.Verified patient
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.
February 15, 2024Richard H.Verified patient
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.
November 28, 2023Anthony J.Verified patient
Am at my breaking point and explained that very much so. Because of my passed I am being judged for something that happened years ago and now I am continuing to suffer and he will not listen to my issues and now will continue to be in a breakdown and become even worse due to this
