“Dr. Abbasi is an excellent choice for a psychiatrist - the best I have ever met with. He is obviously very well educated in his field of study, and he appears to truly care about doing his job right. He spends an adequate amount of time with me each visit, and takes thorough notes so that after an entire month, he knows what topic to start working through at the next visit. I cannot recommend him more highly. ”

“I believe Dr Sayed Abbasi is one of the best psychiatrists in America. His questions were right on topic and his answers were satisfactory. I would not choose another psychiatrist over him because he understands well the situation and what patient really needs. He is excellent, humble, humane, decent.”

What should a new client know about working with you?
Dr. Syed Abbasi practices at Talkiatry, a patient-centered, online psychiatry practice. Talkiatry providers specialize in medication management and treat a wide range of mental health conditions. They take a personalized approach to care, ensuring that treatment is rooted in a strong patient-provider relationship and a responsible, evidence-based approach to prescribing. We know that every mental health journey is unique, and we’re here to make yours feel manageable and supported at every step.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
We start with a comprehensive first visit, where you and your provider will discuss your goals, medical history, and what brings you to treatment. From there, you’ll work with your provider to create a care plan that feels right for you, which may include medication, therapy, or both. If your provider recommends medication, they’ll walk you through your options—our goal is always to help you make informed choices about your care. You’ll meet with your provider regularly for follow-up visits to check in, adjust your care as needed, and make sure you feel supported in your journey.

More information on payments and coverage
Because we accept insurance, we can reduce out-of-pocket expenses and still offer high-quality care. You may not have any cost related to your visit with us, depending upon your insurance plan. Most patients pay a small copay per visit, subject to any deductible or coinsurance that your health plan has. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services determines appropriate billing guidelines. These guidelines depend on the length of the visit and the complexity and severity of your diagnosis. For this reason, we need to wait until after the visit for the final determination. We then submit the claim to your insurance company. The charges are calculated based upon pre-negotiated prices with your insurance company. Your insurance company will then determine what amount, if any, is your responsibility per your insurance plan.
