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.

My family thought that I was bipolar based on my excessive spending followed by deep depression that cycled every few months. This was further supported by relatives that are bipolar. I was encouraged to see Dr. Hashmi for an evaluation. Dr. Hashmi confirmed the diagnosis and through therapy and proper medication management turned my life around. Not all people agree with physicians just like not everyone likes the same car. I encourage everyone to at least meet with Dr. Hashmi for an assessment and seriously take his medical opinion and treatment recommendations to heart. Most bipolar people deny their diagnosis and may leave a bad review. This all apart of the mental health condition. I hope that this leaves people with encouragement to seek treatment.

I have been seeing Dr. Hashmi and his nursing staff (Nicole Williams, awesome). I am SO thankful for the accurate diagnosis, and subsequent treatment. Dr. Hashmi diagnosed my condition 3 years ago now, (after me being miserable for two years prior, because of a misdiagnosis by a different Psychiatrist In another city). It changed my life, and I will be forever grateful for the kindness and professionalism. The BEST!

Honestly the worst place I've ever been. Asked for an appt with Dr. Hashmi & got scheduled with a nurse. I called twice about it, & they said I'd see the doctor at the end of my appt. Still have yet to see Dr. Hashmi even waking around this place. My appointments were 3 minutes long every time. Waited an hour one time for an appt with the wrong nurse. They forgot to call in my prescription which I found out already at my pharmacy. It is utter chaos and quackery. Do not go here.

Dr Hashmi is okay but he doesn't take enough time to get to know his patients and therefore doesn't have time to make a thorough assessment. He makes an assumption about a diagnosis and sticks with it. I think if he took more time to listen he's be a better doctor.

Dr. Hashmi's clients vary from those seeking care on their own and those who are mandated to attend counseling, so the waiting room environment can be hectic. If there's an 'emergency,' changes can be made to standing appointments with little notice.

Dr. Hashmi is an excellent psychiatrist. He is a leader in his field and I felt so comfortable working with him and my therapist. I didn't think I needed therapy but meeting with my therapist along with Dr. Hashmi has really increased my knowledge of my disease and improvement in my quality of life. I would highly recommend Dr. Hashmi and any of his team. The staff is so warm and friendly and their office is beautiful. I feel like a part of the family!
