Dr. Chahin was patient and took the time to answer all of my questions. One of the first times I’ve ever felt like a psychiatrist actually listened to me. Can’t wait to see her again. Thank you Dr. Chahin!

Dr. Chahin was wonderful. Her specialties didn't match my issues (thanks Zocdoc) but even so I got a lot out of our time.

horrible doctor
Verified patientVideo visit
She was okay. She didn’t listen to my preference in type of medication and she constantly made faces when I was explaining what I was going through. I felt judged and like there was no empathy or compassion.
Verified patientVideo visit
Very disappointed. Extremely impatient, did not care to listen to my problems or answer my questions. Always distracted during appointments. All appointments ended early because “next patient is already here” before my time was up.

Dr Loudes listen to my concerns and provided clear feedback. She also was able to prescribe medication immediately . Ready for my next visit

Lourdes Chahin is the worst mental health professional I've ever encountered. she refused to provide the medication I desperately need. She also laughed in my face when I was visibly upset.

She was wonderful. I have had many negative experiences with psychiatrists who rush you away with a prescription, or don't want to follow up with you. She was also kind and easy to talk to.

office told me appointment was cancelled

Literally called me a day before my appointment to tell me that they did not accept my insurance, even though it says on here that they do. Unprofessional is an understatement.
Verified patientVideo visit
the doctor was supposed to send my meds in to the pharmacy and never did. everytime I called the office to remind them they just completely ignored my request. I have now called 10 times over the past 5 days and they have been completely unresponsive. complete unprofessionals

My experience was awful. I was called at 9 PM the night before and told that I had to fill out a 19 page patient information packet which took me by surprise and took an hour to do. I emailed it back thinking the doctor would review it before our call the next morning, only to find out during that call that she never read the packet and had no idea why I requested the appointment. The call was useless and left me feeling very uneasy. Not to mention that the call lasted only 20 minutes and it sounded in the background like she was near an airport. Highly frustrating. Would never recommend even to my worst enemy if I had one. I don't know what she charged my insurance but I am going to contact them and let them be aware of this.

You've been warned. Never made it to appointment because you answer the phone of office staff who refused to return my calls or send paperwork to finalize appointment. Girls in office transfer you to the same girl and Back Again an attempt to sound like they're helping you. The poorest office staff I've had to deal with in a long time. If they say they'll call you back, don't hold your breath. You'll be very lucky if you ever get a call. My thanks ZocDoc who got everything in order and set me up with a new doctor!
