Very knowledgeable and ensured I understood the side effects of all my medication, made treatment recommendations, and listened to my concerns.
Verified patientVideo visit
He was very professional and also very compassionate. He was able to talk to me and create a treatment plan all within our first visit. He was very exceedingly knowledgeable, which you would think would be standard with psychiatrists, but I assure you it is not. Would definitely recommend his care to a friend or anyone who is really looking to pinpoint the correct diagnosis.
Video visit
I have been taking the same medications since I was 13 years old (I’m 30 now) and the Dr on my first (and last) visit wanted to alter my medication doses by over 70%. In addition, he treated me like I was subhuman and has an egotistical way of speaking down to you. Avoid!
Video visit
Dr. Ghanbari was fantastic. Hadn’t been to a psychiatrist in a few years so I was a bit anxious, but Dr. Ghanbari really put me at ease. I felt very comfortable talking to him. He listened very well and throughly explained his recommendations.
