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.

Compassionate Care and Professional Expertise

From the moment I spoke with Dr. Kanawati I felt a sense of warmth and understanding that immediately put me at ease. Throughout my treatment journey, Dr. Kanawati has remained consistently supportive and attentive, adjusting our approach as needed to ensure the best possible outcome. Her genuine dedication to my well-being has been evident in every interaction, and I always leave our appointments feeling hopeful and optimistic about the future. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. K to anyone seeking compassionate and expert psychiatric care.

Greedy! Only cares about money. Insisted on having my card in case of any co-pays but then overcharged my credit card but never billed the insurance. Doctor has caused me extreme stress and anxiety.

my daughter had a new patient appointment with Dr. Yassar Kanawati of Peachtree Family Psychiatry Clinic ( 404-249-8496 ). Initially the meeting was supposed to be a face to face 90 minute session, but then it changed to a 45 minute zoom call. Their billing operations looked up my deductibles and told me that it would be $300. I asked why I wasn't paying the co-pay and the lady said that I hadn't made my deductible yet, so it was $300. I paid $300 for a 45 minute zoom call using my HSA card. The other main issue I have is that we weren't asked to sign any paperwork, so Dr. Yassar Kanawati took the appointment without a consent to teat a minor, HIPPA rights, or initial patient forms. She was ready to start giving my daughter a prescription within 25 minutes and without any kind of medical history or allergic/interaction information.

Trying to get a copy of an invoice for weeks from Rika, assistant to Dr Kanawati, dating back to November. Most unhelpful. It has to fit her schedule, not considering client.
