great doctor, especially for anxiety; she's very professional but not emotionless. i have horrible, chronic insomnia in addition to anxiety and bipolar disorder. i'd been on the same medications for years before i'd visited her last week, and she wanted to change that. of course, i panicked a little, but she helped me calm down, look at things rationally, and keep an open mind. she was very comforting. now, i'm on new meds and they work well :)
The doctor was polite, kind, and understanding of the sensitivity of the situation. I felt at ease, and well taken care of. I trust that I will get better thanks to Dr. Fahim's work.

If I were to leave an honest review it would violate the review guidelines and not get published anyway.
Professional, sincere, calm, the office was clean and comfortable, front desk was nice and helpful.

She's always willing to listen to you, always works with you having your best interest at heart.
0/10 Left me feeling unheard and upset. Belittling and condescending.
Waited over an hour and a half, and Dr. Fahim had a very cold demeanor.
Saw her a few times and felt like I was being judged no matter what I said. She did not create a welcoming or safe place for me to feel comfortable with her. Also only focused on my weight and shamed me every time I stepped on a scale and wasn't any lighter than I had been 2 weeks prior. Would definitely not recommend her.
great doctor, especially for anxiety; she's very professional but not emotionless. i have horrible, chronic insomnia in addition to anxiety and bipolar disorder. i'd been on the same medications for years before i'd visited her last week, and she wanted to change that. of course, i panicked a little, but she helped me calm down, look at things rationally, and keep an open mind. she was very comforting. now, i'm on new meds and they work well :)
I left work early for my appt. waited roughly 40 mins. She came out an took an appt at my appt time. I signed more documents than I did when I bought a car. Most of which was how I would owe money if I didn’t follow her rules. She was unapologetic about me waiting, only justifying why she running so late. 1st time with her, last time with her. Don’t bother , stay away.

Dr. Fahim was extremely judgmental. She questioned my integrity as if this was a courtroom. I am not one who malingers, so I found her approach to be highly offensive and abrasive. She had no empathy when I spoke of my difficulties which is essential as a psychiatrist.
The doctor was polite, kind, and understanding of the sensitivity of the situation. I felt at ease, and well taken care of. I trust that I will get better thanks to Dr. Fahim's work.
Dr. Fahim is a true professional who has experience and expertise, but her office is not professionally managed. I arrived 15 minutes early to my appointment and there were two clients waited to be seen. I waited an hour and 20 minutes to see Dr. Fahim. I would not recommend Dr. Fahim because of the long wait time, I do think that she is a good psychiatrist.
She could pinpoint right away that I've been suffering from anxiety since childhood, which has now grown into depression. She was very nice and asked me if I was open to medication, but didn't force me.
Verified patient
Informative and helpful.
The visit was timely & thorough.
I've been a patient for a long time, and she is always knowledgable about my individual file. I find that any suggestions she makes to work on for visits to come are great & I do feel much better.
The exhibits and excellent rapport with she always matching our conversation with prior visit discussions. She has the ability to pinpoint my reasons for the challenges I face. She is caring, very professional and maintains a very good operation in the office.
It went well, Dr. Fahim is a great psychiatrist!
