I had a Free consultation with Dr Fareed. He was neither good nor bad in my opinion. A typical doctor. I feel he knows his stuff which was reassuring to me. He was very thorough and took a page worth of notes. Unfortunately , he seemed to only be interested in his questions not mine. He interrupted and did not listen when I offered additional information about my health history or had questions. He said we are here so he can explain what they offer to patients In his clinic. Sometimes patients need more than the facts. Sigh.
The staff on the other hand were amazing! They were so kind & caring. I didn’t even ask and they took me on a tour of the treatment area.

I like the fact that this provider is affordable for me. It was so hard to find a provider that was in network with my insurance and that was affordable.
August 22, 2024Ji Hye K.Verified patient
The office was nice! The staff were friendly and knowledgeable . My wait time was reasonable and I was seen right on time. The doctor was great! He listened to what I had to say, gave great recommendations and wanted to know if I had any other questions.

Great experience . Very professional
June 4, 2024Monica J.Verified patient
During the consultation I felt uncomfortable and as if the doctor didn’t believe what I was telling him. It was like I was having to convince him of my diagnosis that had been corroborated by multiple doctors in the past and have documentation for. Anyways, he was willing to start my treatment but I declined due to the excessive stipulations he wanted to place on me. I will find another psychiatrist that I feel comfortable with.

I very much enjoyed my visit with Dr. Fareed. He is very knowledgeable about psychiatry and can translate that knowledge into digestible, layman terms for his patients. At least, he did with me. He was solutions-oriented, which I appreciated. Lastly, his credentials and certifications are quite impressive. I highly recommend Dr. Fareed.
July 12, 2023Daniel N.Verified patient
Dr. Fareed was very professional and empathic. I misread my time slot and accidentally arrived an hour early than the time I booked and he was even willing to meet me as soon as his previous commitment finished. Front staff was very helpful too.
I felt like he listened to me well and gave recommendations with good integrity.
May 2, 2023Katie P.Verified patient
So glad I took the leap to get a consult with this practice. They assessed me on my first visit and set up a logical treatment plan with my consent. I also appreciate the free and plentiful parking, which isn't always the case at other providers -- made the visit that much easier. The office is very calming and welcoming.
