Getting to know Dr. Alexander Ghobadimanesh

**Out-of-Network Booking Disclaimer:** Please be advised that if you book an appointment through Zocdoc and are not in-network with our practice, you will be subject to our self-pay rates. We strongly encourage all patients to verify their insurance coverage with our office prior to booking an appointment. For patients booking appointments in California: ***I DO NOT ACCEPT MEDI-CAL/MEDICAID INSURANCE.*** I am pleased to accept Aetna, Optum, Humana, Alignment Health, MHN (Mental Health Network), and MCCP. If you are covered by any of these providers, please ensure that your insurance information is accurate and up-to-date when booking your appointment. Your understanding and cooperation with our payment policies are greatly appreciated. **PROFESSIONAL STATEMENT** I provide compassionate and evidence-based care to children, adolescents, adults, and geriatric clients who experience depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, substance use disorders, PTSD, OCD, and other psychiatric conditions. I offer individualized treatment plans that may include psychotherapy, medication management, or both. My goal is to help you achieve your optimal well-being and quality of life. I earned my Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Midwestern University, Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine, and completed my residency in Psychiatry at Unity Health, White County Medical Center. I hold a bachelor’s degree from Austin College. I welcome new patients to my practice on ZocDoc and look forward to working with you.

What should a new client know about working with you?

In our sessions, we will work together to understand the problems that you feel are outstanding, set realistic goals, and develop coping skills. I will provide you with feedback, support, and guidance. I will also assign you some tasks to work on in between sessions to help you practice what you learn in therapy. My role as a psychiatrist also involves prescribing medication if needed. Medication can be an effective tool to reduce symptoms and improve functioning when combined with therapy. However, medication is not a cure-all and may have some side effects or interactions with other drugs or supplements. Therefore, I will monitor your response to medication closely and adjust the dosage or type as necessary. I hope this gives you an idea of what to expect from our telehealth appointment. Please feel free to ask me any questions or share any concerns you may have about my style and therapy approach. I look forward to working with you.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

As a psychiatrist, I use a biopsychosocial approach to formulate a psychiatric diagnosis. This means that I consider the biological, psychological, and social factors that may contribute to the client's symptoms and distress. I conduct a comprehensive assessment that includes a detailed history, mental status examination, and relevant investigations. I also use standardized diagnostic criteria such as The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR) or the ICD-11 to guide my diagnosis. In addition to diagnosis, I also provide therapy for my clients. Therapy is an essential part of psychiatric treatment that aims to help clients cope with their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. There are different types of therapy that suit different needs and preferences. Some of the common ones are cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy (IPT), psychodynamic therapy, and supportive therapy. I tailor the therapy to each client's goals and challenges while working collaboratively with them to achieve positive outcomes.

    Dr. Ghobadi was very empathetic as a great listener and then great communicator. His demeanor was calm and he asked questions that felt very relevant after I gave an explanation of my life and who I am. His diagnosis was quite eye opening and after reviewing the details, seems to have been spot on. I look forward to continue seeing Dr. Ghobadi.

    I was very comfortable talking with the Dr. & sharing personal information. I got the help that I was asking for. I'm so glad I did this.

    I really appreciated the questions that he asked and the way he decided to do a genetic test before prescribing any daily medication due to my previous bad experiences. It made me feel very comfortable that he decided to take an approach that required seeing what will work best specifically for me.

    Dr Ghobadi was a life saver. My husband started to have panic attacks daily and couldn’t sleep at all for more than a week. We got meds from his general doctor but none of them helped. His health was declining day by day but I wasn’t able to find any psychiatrist in network who can see him right away. I decided to try Dr. Ghobadi since he was able to see him 8am the next day. Dr. Ghobadi was very professional, answered all the questions we had, and most importantly, my husband was able to sleep after taking the meds he prescribed. In addition, Dr. Ghobadi gave us his number and was super responsive with any questions we had. Even it’s a bit pricy due to out of network, It’s really the best money I have ever spent in my life. Highly recommend.

    Although this was the only the 4th psychiatrist, I’ve seen over 40 neuro-spine surgeons in the last 12 years. This was the FIRST time I’ve had a doctor’s appt and felt like I was in control of the appointment. Extremely polite and knows how to make the patient feel comfortable.

    oddly I was impressed he was completely attentive very very knowledgeable very understanding I don't think I have found a better psychiatrist other than one other person but he's just as good or better and I have another appointment with him and I believe that if you are looking for somebody who is different than all the other ones that you had, I believe that I am going to be able to improve.

    It can be unnerving to bare your soul (amongst other things) to a perfect stranger. And yet, that’s what we are expected to do every time we visit a doctor. If you’re like me, it never seems to get easier. That was my case, until last week. I think I found the prescription for “white coat syndrome”. Dr. G, an exceptional Psychiatrist, flips that notion on its head. (Pun intended). He’s the perfect mix of intelligence + compassion. + professionalism + likeabilty. In other words, he’s like a spoonful of sugar that helps the medicine go down. Great Doc!

    Alex is amazing! It can be hard finding good doctors, especially when it comes to mental health. He's super easy going, fun to talk to, and I knew instantly he was a good fit. I'm super excited for future sessions together and he was wonderful at figuring out the prescription that would be a good fit for my situation and needs!

    Dr. Ghobadi was very clear, concise, and friendly. We walked through my mental health journey and he was very nice and understanding. The whole initial appointment was up to my expectations and I couldn’t ask for a better first visit. Looking forward to working with Dr. Ghobadi.

    Dr. Ghobadi was very thorough in evaluating my concerns and symptoms. He spent time talking with me, making sure to address all my struggles and accurately diagnose my conditions. He is easy to communicate with and I would highly recommend him to new patients.
    I’m so lucky I found Dr. G! His evaluation was the best I have ever had with a Psychiatrist, provided me w lots of information I was unaware of - he’s very knowledgeable!!! You can tell he has passion for his profession and he actually cares about his patients which is something that’s not very common now-a-days. He’s above a 5-star- 10 stars all the way!!! ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?????????? I will most definitely continue seeing Dr. G monthly.
