Dr. Hussain was not only on time, but I logged in a few minutes early and he was early himself. I’ve had several psychiatrists, and Dr. Hussain was objectively my favorite one I’ve ever met with. He listened, he asked relevant questions, he didn’t make judgments or breeze through intake to just get me in and out. Kind, relatable, and a general nice guy. Highly recommend

Dr. Hussein was fantastic. Extremely attentive and helpful. I felt very comfortable sharing my needs and he had insightful suggestions and guided me to the right medications. Highly recommend!

Dr Hussain is terrific. He’s approachable, professional and most importantly
he treats me like an individual. I really appreciate that he involves me in my care, for example, checking with me to see if I’m onboard with his recommendations and if I agree with how he understands my issues. Lastly, I feel Dr Hussein is an excellent clinician. He honed in immediately on my issues and prescribed a medication that has been really helpful. What a relief after trying several medications, prescribed by my primary care provider, that were not at all helpful!

I felt like Dr. Hussain took the time to listen to my concerns and it was easy to open up to him. He wanted to understand how I felt.
I am looking for award to continuing the therapy, I believe I have found valuable help and it’s the beginning to feeling better and living better.
