“I could not be more appreciative and happy with the thorough research in looking for a Psychiatrist when I found Dr. Shakil Siddiqui. Seeing and using him as a provider has been the best choice I’ve ever made. I was going through some severe mental difficulties upon our first visit. He was and still is attentive, listens, converses for comfort, understanding, humble, extremely knowledgeable, and experienced. I and my family can see and feel the improvements thanks to his expertise and guidance. 10/10 highly recommend.
Others praise him and I know why. He loves what he does and it shows. He has more than helped me reach my desired outcomes as a patient.”

He didn't really listen to what I was saying and often spoke over me. I saw that this was a problem that other people listed in their reviews, but I chose to give him a try anyway. Not only did he speak over me, but he also did not let me finish my sentences; it was like he was both the patient and the doctor.
February 7, 2023Initials hiddenVideo visit
I explained that I occasionally had panic attacks and was told that I should remember it’s “all in my imagination” and to just “take a deep breath and think positive.” If that worked, I wouldn’t have made an appointment. Really not very helpful. Kept talking over me.

Very logical Dr.. I chose him for a 2nd opinion and feel like I'm in WAY better hands than my last provider. He seemed a step ahead of me during our entire conversation and explained his thought process on my treatment plan. Felt very safe with him.

The good doctor grasped quickly the emotional matter with which I was strugg li ing by listening. He was amazing and understood difficulties currently present in my life.
He was quite simply, amazing.

Everything is virtual or over the phone. I can never reach anyone on the phone immediately, I have to text my message through Klara and can take several days to respond if they do. I have to send several messages before receiving an actual response. Horrible service.

Dr Siddiqui listened to my situation and quickly gave me some good pointers and information I really needed. I appreciated his empathy,
honesty, candor, and intuitiveness, as well as recommendations. Exactly what I needed.

Very quick and easy. Asked the right questions regarding my medication. Willing to listen and help find the perfect treatment to aid with my ADHD symptoms.

He is a horrible soul. I changed my Doctor and came to him, and he mishmashed my 7 year medication. He doesn’t listen and give a straight 15 mins lecture. Awful!
May 15, 2020Initials hidden
I was given medication that really did not work. Not necessarily therapist’s adult. Perhaps an in person meeting would have been better, but definitely not happy. I managed to find to find a psychiatrist through Zocdoc that has been amazing!

He was absolutely amazing, very easy going and easy to talk too. Asked all the questions he needed to that gave me the sense he cares and he does !! Highly recommended
