Very professional and understanding woman that listened to my needs and is working with me to create the right care plan.
July 23, 2025Raven C.Verified patient
Just not a good doctor. Doesn't listen, you have to repeat things constantly. Short appointment for initial appointment.

Dr. Wassef was very helpful and a good listener. His office is responsive to phone calls. I would recommend this doctor.

Dr. Wassef listened carefully to my concerns, resulting in a plan of action.

First time seeing a psychiatrist. My experience was very pleasant. I was very happy with my visit.

He doesn't even have patience to listen to patient views. I am disappointed completely.

Office staff is great. Doctor is sensitive and caring.
CMVerified patient
Everyone in office was very polite and nice and I appreciated them speaking with me and patience while I sent in my information. Dr was qualified and informative but he was a few minutes late and had some sort of construction happening possibly right next to him in his home and someone obviously walked in to the room and he muted himself and took off the camera for a few moments which was awkward.

Very nice people
January 27, 2026Nicholas P.Verified patient
During my appointment, I felt consistently unheard and talked over. I had to repeat myself multiple times for my concerns to be acknowledged. For example, I clearly explained why I left a previous job, yet later in the appointment the provider stated that my mental health should not be affecting my work life. When I corrected him and reiterated that I did not leave the job for mental health reasons, he briefly acknowledged it without any apology or reflection.
Throughout the visit, he frequently interrupted me, which made it difficult to communicate my concerns and left me feeling disrespected as a patient. I also found the appointment unhelpful overall.
I left the appointment without receiving meaningful guidance, support, or individualized care. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this provider to patients seeking attentive, respectful, or patient-centered psychiatric care.

Dr. Wassef was very professional and explained things thoroughly. I felt very comfortable sharing with Dr. Wassef. He’s also, a great listener.
April 24, 2025James P.Verified patient
Overall appointment was okay, I m not pleased with being prescribed with a medication that didn't work for me and I have had serious side effects from in the past.
January 11, 2023Caron H.Verified patient
Website desc did not state that appt was for medication management only. 45 min appt for “evaluation “ lasted 20 mins before Dr Wasseff’s underling referred me to Suicide Prevention Hotline . It took a lot to reach out for help (obviously not suicidal otherwise I wouldn’t be starting my trek to feel better). As a result, I will NEVER use so doc again. I’m sure Medicaid will be billed full amount for 1/2 an appt. Complete SCAM !!

Very good Dr. I will go back anytime.
October 6, 2021Keyan N.Verified patient
The Doc was highly interested in my history and what I had to say, without dismissing my thoughts and concerns. He then had a tailor fit recovery plan of action to my symptoms, as opposed to most Dr's just treating you with a standard blanket medication program.
September 24, 2020Initials hidden
I really feel I was treated as if my opinions mattered to dr. He mad me feel at ease with his suggestions and guidance as to what medication he thought was best for my MDD. I was comfortable there and I appreciate his service as well, his office manager was very sweet and kind to me and made me feel comfortable also, I’m glad I was the patient for once.

I have seen a lot of therapists, psychiatrists, psychologists etc so I could Call myself an expert. Dr. Wassef is the only one I have been able to stick with. I look forward to our appointments and feel he really cares about me. Plus, I'm doing much better. Dr. Wassef is the perfect balance of knowledge & academic with kind, warm, compassionate understanding. His knowledge of the research on medications is impressive. he is down to earth and easy to talk to. Strongly recommend him.

Great initial visit with Dr Wassef. I think his office is the most busy office in the whole block. We had a good conversation and discussed the right next steps for me. He's clearly well-qualified in his field, and I felt totally comfortable speaking with him. He has very flexible appointment times. Recommend.

This is a poorly run operation and the doctor is something of a bully. He definitely puts his interests ahead of the patient. Recommend: AVOID
May 5, 2017Initials hidden
he was great, minus a hiccup with figuring out my insurance that out of both of our control, the visit was really good. I would highly recommend.
March 24, 2017Initials hidden
Terrible. He categorizes you as a drug seeker the minute you walk in and whatever meds you're one from previous doctor , he will try and change it first visit. He doesn't care about ur mental health and well-being.
Just wants to prescribe you "non-addictive" drugs.
