Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Arif is amazing! He genuinely cares about the health and welfare about his patients. He’s very knowledgeable, listens and makes appropriate treatment adjustments. I don’t know what I’d do without him!

Dr Arif is a terrific psychiatrist. He is not at all the old-school type of psychiatrists from yesteryear like the ones you see in movies that take a lot of notes and barely interact with their patients. Dr Arif is very down to earth and a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for a top notch psychiatrist in the Sacramento Area, you need not look any further because he is truly one of the "good guys". Thank you for reading my review + have a blessed rest of your day!

I was a patient of Dr. Arif, and I will say he is a wonderful man who cares about his patients. He was able to help me with my troubles, my illness, and even worked hard to help me get tested for autism, something I needed to be tested for since I was 17. I would highly recommend him.
