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.

I have been seeing Dr. Bazaz for over 10 years, and she is an amazing psychiatrist. She has seen me through many ups and downs, and has regulated my medical treatment according to my physiology and issues at the time. She takes the time to talk through problems and understand what is going on in your life to make sure you are treated accordingly. She has been practicing for decades and has a wealth of knowledge about everything including vitamins, supplements, and pharmaceuticals. She is an independent practitioner, so staff doesn't always provide pre-notifications of appointments, so you just have to be prepared for that. Her approach is unorthodox sometimes. But when there are bureaucratic problems with prescriptions, she is always there to answer the phone and help.

Dr Bazaz is a kind and caring doctor. I have never been to a Psychiatrist before that really listened. Usually they just fill prescription but Dr. Bazaz has gotten me through some of the most trying times of my life by listening and caring.

I have been a patient of Dr. Bazaz for nearly 10 years. She has significantly helped me to safely navigate through the often choppy waters of my illness. I find her to be attentive, patient and kind, yet always willing to tell me the things I need to hear to help me maintain health and happiness. I would - and have- recommend Dr. Bazaz to others.

Dr. Bazaz is kind and patient. She is the first Psychiatrist I every went to that listened to the whole story and spent a lot of time with me. She is a little disorganized but it hasn't affected me in anyway. She is the first doctor that has ever got my medicine needs correct.

Extremely absentminded and disorganized. Forgets essential details, mixes me up with other patients, and has lost my file on more than one occasion, requiring me to ask my pharmacist to call her directly for my prescription refills. (When I explained the situation to the pharmacist and I told him who my psychiatrist was, he said - and I quote - "I am not even surprised." Worse, she's rude when I forget an appointment, audibly annoyed by less irresponsibility than she has herself displayed.

I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Bazaz and when I received the text reminder for my appointment, I responded that I would like to cancel. Whoever sent the text reminder responded back saying, Ok, I will let the Doctor know. That information was never relayed to Dr. Bazaz so in response, she called me and yelled at me calling me rude and to never schedule an appointment with her again. In my opinion, this is not professional and I would not feel comfortable being in her care.
