Getting to know Dr. Sami Rayyan
Dr. Sami's passion for psychiatry began during his undergraduate studies, where he graduated as a neuroscience major from the University of Michigan with a 3.9 GPA. For his academic excellence, he was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa-America's oldest honor society-joining the ranks of 17 former United States Presidents and 40 Supreme Court Justices. He went on to earn his Doctor of Medicine from Indiana University.
Before becoming a physician, Dr. Sami was a public-school educator in New York City, teaching Algebra to middle schoolers. “I was originally brought on to help everyone pass their state exams… much to my surprise, they did. That's when I knew there was something in education for me.”
What should a new client know about working with you?
I like to know about the patient's goals before we start a plan together! I like building an alliance with my patients!
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I try to strike a balance between structuring sessions, while also keeping sessions loose and free.

He stared bluesky may not be able
To prescribe my medication for ADHD. He then asked me to call my PCP to get the prescription filled which is going to cost me another co-pay. If blue sky is changing the policy, then they should know that and take them off of doctors list for people who do you have ADHD? I need medication‘s . I am now we’re trying for my Xanax cause he will not prescribing either on my pcp. I have two kids and I’m not feeling good. I should’ve been able to get my medication prescribed me yesterday and if the doctor himself does not know the policy of blue sky and I think there’s definitely a problem when it comes to prescribing people’s medication’s. It should be noted on your Zocdoc, but they do not fill prescription requests.

Dr. Rayyan, is very precautious just to make sure that you are getting the enough and right care. He takes time learning his patient's mental and physical health issues before prescribing any medication. Highly recommended!
