First experience I’ve had with a psychiatrist that actually listens and does not rush through the appointment to get to the next patient. I was very pleased and I’m so happy to have found this Dr.
Verified patient
This was the first psych I have ever had that wanted to talk about my life experiences and how I perceive my emotions rather than what prescriptions I’ve taken and if it worked. He talked to me like therapists do, he really tried to understand me and who I was. the appointment was an hour and I’m grateful- normally psych appointments are 30 minute time slots and the psych will be there 10 minutes and dip.
Verified patient
Dr. Vazirian was very nice and understood my diagnosis. Since I am stable he left my medications the same and booked a follow up to check in in 6 weeks. I am very happy with my experience.
This was a follow up appointment from my initial assessment, and it was easy, simple, helpful, and I get to go enjoy my life now :)

Unfortunately I do not recommend Dr.Vazirian. I am not sure why people say he is empathetic because he is definitely not. During our first meeting, he frequently interrupted me when I was trying to give him background information, kept insisting me to answer his long standard checklist questions instead of listening to my situation. When I was telling my stories he seemed very distracted and genuinely disinterested. During diagnoses, he first said I don’t have depression then later told me I have depression and should be on meds. When asked to clarify he couldn’t really articulate very well why he made the diagnoses and changed it. I also told him about having low moods during periods but instead of having period each month my OBGYN put me on a BC schedule that makes me have period once every 3 months. He didn’t know how to deal with that at all. He rushed me to end the meeting exactly at 1h even though he was late. In general my experience was very negative and I do not recommend him
Dr. Vazirian listens to you thoroughly and explains everything in such an informative way that you aren’t left with any questions. He went over the issues I was having and explained each medication to me in great detail. I had an excellent experience and I would definitely suggest him to others.
Very kind and made me feel comfortable sharing. Took time to listen to my concerns and issues, and explained my diagnoses very well! Threw in humor as well and made the experience very good.
Dr. Vazirian was an amazing doctor. He was attentive and polite. He validated me and my concerns and truly listened to me. Highly recommend him
Verified patient
Very thorough and patient.
First time meeting Dr. Vazirian and I really enjoyed his quick to the point, but understanding and patient form of communication. Recommend him if you appreciate that style. I will continue to see him.
Super helpful and understanding. He takes the time to work with you and listens to what you have to say. **Bonus for women out there with demanding jobs--I've found some doctors equate my stress to "you just work too much" or "you just need to sleep more or take more time off". Whereas men with the same jobs often are praised for discussing their feelings and their stress is taken more seriously... Dr. Vazarian doesn't do that. Not once did I feel judged for doing the job that I love. He truly listens, hears you, digs deeper and wants to help. He is pretty great in many ways but this was one that stood out to me.
Dr. Vazirian is objective and listens to what I share. I look forward to continuing treatment with him. The admin staff is so responsive- I’m so appreciative of their support during times in need. Thank you for helping me!!!
Most helpful and insightful.
Dr. Vazirian was very helpful and understanding and did not just make me feel like a number. He was attentive during my entire visit and he is highly recommended to anyone seeking psychiatric help.
Verified patient
Dr. Vazirian was welcoming and put me at ease.
Wasn’t comfortable with the idea of starting psychiatry, but I was encouraged by my family and I’m grateful because I already feel like Dr. Vazirian is helping me. He’s very kind, professional, attentive, and smart.
Verified patient
I thought that it went really well-I left feeling lighter/happier than I felt when I arrived. I’m full of hope for the future with Dr. Vazirian in my support corner. The office is very clean and comfortable, I’m definitely recommending to my loved ones!
Verified patient
My visit was very pleasant. I showed up early and my appointment started right on time which was amazing. We managed to cover a lot during our time and I felt he really knows what he’s doing.
Verified patient
The office was really nice and the appointment started right on time. Dr. Vazirian is an excellent listener and is very professional. I feel great knowing he’s my doctor. I trust him and think he’ll be able to help me.
Verified patient
Dr. Mohsen Vazirian is a great doctor. I find his practice very helpful. He has a good heart and head and wisdom. I feel like I’m going to learn a lot about myself during my time with him!
Verified patient
It went much better than I expected. I’ve seen doctors in the past and they didn’t treat me anywhere as well as Dr. V did. He’s an A+ in my book.
Verified patient
Great care. He seems like a special kind of doctor, one that’s hard to come by. I predict he’ll be the most popular doctor in San Diego soon because he is awesome at his job.
Verified patient
Professional, caring, productive. I feel like I made progress just in the first session-which I didn’t expect- and have continued to progress with him since. I appreciate the time we’ve spent together and look forward to the future.
