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.

Wonderful
Dr. Somiah and Dr. D'Cruz both do a great job listening and finding the best and healthiest solution possible. Best psychiatrists I've had.

Dr. Somiah and Joan really care
I have seen both Dr. Somiah, and Ms. Joan for years, now. They genuinely care for their patients. I have never felt rushed or unheard, quite to the contrary I have always left feeling better for having had been thoroughly listened to and cared for. They are a Godly team and I am very grateful for them both.

My visits here are always great, I have a more positive way of seeing things and I feel much better mentally after seeing my doctor. I did have to try several medications to get the right one but it was worth it. Im very happy with the care I am provided from both the doctor and the staff. I recommend this office to anyone needing help.

I get along well with psychiatrist and have seen many over a course of almost 2 decades of illness. Dr. Somiah is solid, humorous, understanding, kind, medically conservative, and dedicated to his work. I only met one psychiatrist I did not like, and am thinking Somiah is the best one I ever have known, though I have had two other very good doctors who are almost equal. His staff are kind, good communicators, willing to talk to me at any time if I have a question about treatment. Thank you!!

Secretary is a rude discussing person! I was mentioned by my psychologist to him. I called and accepted insurance but after asking what meds I’m on, when I got to klonopin which is .5 x 2 day, very low dose, “he don’t prescribe that? Ok. I’ve been on med for 17 yr. and no issues! I asked again and she was a rude hag!! The only reason I called is my current Psych. is retiring! If you have mental issues, you don’t need to be looked down upon by a secretary that “knows everything”. If he ta

I have been going to Dr. Somiah for 7 years. In that time I have never received a diagnosis even thought I repeatedly ask for one. I feel like that he throws medicine at me and sees if one will work. Lately he has spent my entire sessions with his talking about God even though I have told him many times that I do not want to hear about this. I want to discuss my condition and medicines. Essentiallly I pay him $30 to listen to him tell me that I am not going to get any better until I get right wi

DH in Tri-Cities, TN – Oct 30, 2017
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Somiah?
Couldn't even make an appointment with the psychiatrist because the secretary would not make an appointment. She laughed at the issue instead of taking it seriously. She said if she didn't like a person, neither would the doctor. She refused to let me speak with a manager. She said she had worked there 10 years and knew it all. She laughed at me again and hung up on me. Very poor manners from someone supposed to be helping someone with mental health issues. Avoid this group!

Wonderful wonderful psychiatrist. I've been to many, including ones in a mental hospital, and I trust Dr Somiah so much. He has been the one to put me on anything that has ever works for me. He really knows what he's doing and is well educated in mental health. I will likely go to him forever.

This so called Doctor is a quack!! I have had major depressive disorder with anxiety and insomnia for more than 20 years and all he wanted to do was tell me to set goals. Then he argued with me about my religion. He has no right to be treating well in my case not treating any patients. There are so many things I could say negative about him, but it would take a book . STAY CLEAR
