“Dr. Islam is amazing! She was so attentive, picked up on concerns I might have without me even mentioning them, and helped encourage me to make healthy choices with zero judgment. The best mental health provider I’ve seen in a long time!”

    She made very generalized conclusions. She was 25 min late. I won't be returning, because I deserve better care.

    She as a psychiatrist knows her job well I must say. I am quite satisfied with my first session with her. Would like to recommend her to someone who needs psychiatric assistance. Btw, she is not a therapist. So if you need a therapy session, she is not the right provider for that.

    I was very frustrated to wait several months for the day of my appointment everything to go so downhill with no appeasement from the staff at all

    Finally someone who listens and actually wants to help her patients. I am so glad I went with her and will be getting the care and treatment I need.
    Verified patientVideo visit
    Absolutely awful. She’s on a power trip and wants things done HER WAY. It’s sick. She arrives 10 minutes late to the telehealth appointment. THEN SHE ASKS ME IF I COULD SIT UP? For her to believe she can control me and tell me what to do through a video chat is scary. NO ONE tells me what to do. I AM NOT YOUR CHILD. SHE WILL NEVER CONTROL ME FOR AS LONG AS SHE LIVES. I hung up on her right after she asked me that question. I was shocked. She’s just not a good person. She has the nerve to call me after saying she thinks the phone got disconnected… I explained to her no….. you disrespected me. I will NEVER SIT UP FOR YOU. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? And then I hung up on her again. What a nasty girl. Be careful… you have been warned. She thinks she is in power and abuses it … don’t let ANYONE tell you what to do. Even though you might have mental health issues you are no less than anybody else….DO NOT BOOK THIS GIRL.

    She is receptive, kind, encouraging and truly listens to her clients. She doesn't make you feel like she's trying to patch the crazy up with meds instead she's receptive to your experiences and truly tries to match you to a proper (individualized) care plan. I highly recommend her.

    Excellent psychiatrist. I had a referral for my debilitating anxiety and severe depression and she really helped me by prescribing medications that were excellent for what I was experiencing. I would recommend her to anyone. She truly cares and is also there to listen to any problems or concerns you may have. She is also very thorough with how she wants you to take your medication which I appreciate so I know when to take what prescription and at what time. I’m grateful I found her on Zocdoc and she takes my Insurance which is even better! Five star rating all around ? ? ? ? ?

    Mrs. Islam was very professional. I experienced some technical difficulty trying to connect through the app and Mrs. Islam was patient and helped me out. She was a very good listener, she understood my concern and analyzed and gave me good input about my issue. I hardly recommend Mrs. Islam. Thank you.
