We checked in and checked up about what seemed like a predetermined set of questions to ask. The doctor was well prepared and we reviewed to make sure medicine management is going okay, mental health management with a therapist is going well, and physical health is improving with exercise. We had good background conversation about recent events over the past month and other things. The doctor asked an important question about where I see myself in my life in five years which I think is a very important to ask and review with a psychiatrist and with a therapist and coach, also. Overall it was a good appointment and the doctor made sure to get me enough medicine refills for the next two months until our next appointment.

We spoke and had a well organized conversation. Dr. Anoshivani was thorough and mindful with his line of questioning to get background history. We had clear communication and I was happy to learn that he reviewed the pharmikogenetic testing file I forwarded to his office. He had good suggestions for me to work towards based on this data also.
We agreed to continue to work together and see how I manage over the time that we work together as we progress in each appointment. From there we may make small adjustments when acceptable.
Overall we had a great appointment and understood each other well. We had a positive interaction and I am happy I will now be working with Dr. Anoshivani moving forward.

Arde Anoshivani, M.D. has been practicing in Southern California since 1989. His office has been in the same location in Irvine for the past 22 years.
He is board certified in psychiatry (since 1977) and in addiction medicine (since 2009). Dr. Anoshivani was one of the first few psychiatrists in Orange County who was authorized by the DEA to prescribe the new partial opiate agonist (Suboxone, Subutex) for treatment of opioid addiction (heroin, methadone, Vicodin, Oxycontin, etc.) Since that time, he has gained a great deal of experience in the successful use of these medications for detoxification and maintenance treatment of appropriate patients. Additionally, he also routinely evalueates and treats patients who suffer from other chemical dependencies; such as alcohol, methamphetamine, cocaine, cannabis and other "uppers" and "downers".

The Dr has a subtle yet direct and effective manner about him. Easy to chat with and obviously well versed in addictionology.

This doctor is terrible! He’s a psychiatrist and didn’t hear a word I said!! He’s condescending and completely unsympathetic. He’s clearly not interested in helping people. I don’t know why he’s in health care, let alone mental health.

I really wanted to like this doctor - he was the only one in my area who takes my insurance - but it just wasn't going to happen. The whole office is, frankly, unprofessional. The receptionist rescheduled appointments at the last minute on more than one occasion, and seemed as though she expected me to do her job for her. She actually sent me home with an assignment at one point, requesting that I call my insurance company to ask why they didn't recognize my member ID. It turned out that she'd typed my member ID number wrong, and I guess she just hadn't bothered to double check whether or not it was correct before making it my problem. Bad move.
With regards to the doctor, he didn't really seem to want to be treating me, which I found exceptionally alienating considering that he wanted me to come back every month and a half, and I don't live all that close. Even worse, when I tried to have a prescription filled by my primary care physician over my summer break, he didn't make himself available to take her call. In fact, from what she described to me about the conversation they had, it sounded as though he was rude to her when she eventually got a hold of him. Finally, he refused to work with my primary care doctor to get my prescription filled (after telling me during my last appointment that it wouldn't be a problem), and so I decided I wouldn't be returning to his office.
Overall, I felt like I was more of an inconvenience than a patient at this office, but luckily I've been able to make other arrangements. I'm sorry that it didn't work out, I hope that my experience was anomalous, and I wish Dr. Anoshivani and his office well.
