“Very good doctor, I had been in treatment with this office for a long time & they had helped me a lot along the way.
HIGJLY RECOMMENDED!! ”
Yazan H.July 12, 2023
“This provider was available to see me the following week from when I booked my appointment, which was great since most providers are not available for new appointments until 2-3 months later.
The doctor listened and asked great questions to better understand me, and I felt like he truly heard me and knew exactly what I needed.
I will now be seeing him each month instead of my previous provider.”

You will spend an inordinate amount of time there. Clear your schedule because you will sit for hours.

My appointment was with the physician's assistant. She listened to me talk (ramble) a few minutes before prescribing something that would stabilize me. I was SO scared bc I've never taken any of those kinda meds but only 5 days in (plus a great therapist) and I feel like a relatively normal functional human being again. Idk why I hat put off this kinda appointment so long but this is definitely the doc for me.

March 8, 2021Kortney D.Verified patient
The doctor doesn’t listen to you at all and has no clue what they are doing. I was shocked at the way that I had been strung along and treated. They gave me enough medicine to last two weeks and then after I had been off the medication for over a week they wanted me to go into a facility to detox off of medicine that I had only been taking for two weeks and has been off for over two weeks. What a joke!!!

Thanks so much for helping me out
November 16, 2020Richard S.Verified patient
excellent care. it felt like I was talking to a family member. This being my first appointment I had so much anxiety, that I stayed away for years. So for this being my first experience with therapy it made this office made it pleasant, having Being be treated with care. actual care, which is seeming to be lacking in customer service these days. I'm saying this for the people who are viewing these comments to help with the anxiety they may have with seeing a therapist and the stigma that is associated with it. Go for it and for those that are doing it , keep doing it!

Well i just this is a good guy
August 5, 2020Richard S.Verified patient
It was over an hour late! When I finally got the video call I was only ask a few questions nothing about my history with depression or anxiety!! She then saw I was prescribed subutex 8 months ago for an opiate addiction after asking why I wasn't taking those med anymore and told her I didn't want to get addicted to subutex! Her whole tone change and told me should would not give me my anxiety meds bc I once had subutex (8 months ago) I told her I had to give me anxiety med up to get on subs why on earth would I willingly give up a medication or if I was abusing it for a different med that makes 0 since!!! I have never abused my nerve meds she stated giving me my anxiety meds would put my on the same path!!! WHAT HOW! I'm sorry but since when is opiates the same has nerve medication!! Basically what I'm saying is as soon as she saw I had been one subutex in my passed I was treated like a drug addict!

He was an hour late. He had his mind made up without giving consideration to all of the meds I've taken. It seemed he had his preferred meds to use in my case despite my mentioning they didn't work for me in the past.

Don’t recommend this office . I explained what helped me 3 yrs ago and they didn’t want to put me back on what helps they just wanted to put me on all these other meds. Don’t go here!! They don’t care!!
April 16, 2020Ashleigh B.Verified patient
The front desk ladies are extremely kind and treat their patients very well. The Dr. listens carefully and asks leading questions. I always felt very comfortable speaking my mind and getting the support I needed. Viviene is truly amazing!
Have been getting better; definitely recommend!

Dr Ahmad was very friendly and nice. He was sympathetic of my issues. His PA or whomever could be changed though. She was unfriendly and rude - I almost left before even seeing Dr Ahmad because of her horrible demeanor and attitude.
