    Clearly not organized. Tried to book twice through Zocdoc, and both times he was unavailable for the slot Zocdoc said he was. Would not recommend.

    Times listed on Zocdoc for this doctor are not accurate to his real schedule with his company - my appointment was canceled due to this .

    Dr left me hanging twice without meds. Cancelled appointments, with the last straw being a no-show for the most recently scheduled appointment. If going through medication withdrawal is fun for you then give him a shot. But by all means not through the ZocDoc app because his office says they don’t even see those appointments…..

    I filled out all of the required intake paper work and provided them with my information, but I was never seen. I called the office about my appointment, and they said their scheduling team would get back to me within five minutes, and no one ever did.

    I was feeling like I was loosing my mind and had a lot of things happened in my 51 years of life. I was having several current issues, unable to concentrate and feeling like electrical wires were crossing up in my mind. I believe he placed me on a good medication regimen. I will follow up next week. He was very empathetic

    I never saw a Doctor, no one called me prior, so I called and left 3 messages and no one ever returned my call. Very upset that a Doctor would not keep an appt with someone who is needing help.
    Verified patientVideo visit
    Dr Aw is very kind and listened well. He asked a lot of questions to make sure he could make the best plan for treatment. He was very patient with me when I had app difficulties, as well as had great patience while I was explaining my symptoms.

    I have literally been feeling helpless while my mind and body seem to be failing me. Dr Aw listened to me, he asked about the things going on mentally AND physically. He did not just throw 9 meds at me and hope one stuck, he explained what he thought the best process was for now and what the treatment plan would look like while we figure things out. For the first time in months and months I feel like someone heard me. 100/10 would recommend
