I write to inform former, past, and future clients that they may or may not be correctly diagnosed…read more Before I explain, I want to say the Dr Itoro was an accomodating and nice lady. She tried her best to meet my needs while I was 3 hours away for college. For that reason, I was grateful. However, I was misdiagnosed as Bipolar by Dr Itoro. During the 1.5 years I was treated, I chose to believe the diagnosis because I was desperate to return to my original self. I followed every guideline and suggestion. Took every pill, even when I felt emotionally worse, gained 30 lbs in 2 months, sickly, yeast infections, and my flawless skin turned cystic (rolling scars to this day). In an attempt to be a 5 star patient, I joined a Bipolar support group. It was during those weekly sessions that I realized, I was unlike the 30 regular attendants. So much so, the group leaders and the group consistenly inquired about my diagnosis, believing I was NOT bipolar. From there, I sought out other professional opinions. Not two, three, or four, but seven! Each and every one told me to immediately stop my medication for it was doing more damage than good. 1 month after stopping all medication, the depressive cloud faded, acne cleared, chronic sickness haulted, and I began to lose weight without trying. I felt balance the best I could be for having Post Traumatic Stress (my REAL problem which is in a good place now). A few months after stopping the medication, I tried to schedule an appointment with Dr Itoro to explain what happened, and ask questions. Her response was to find a new doctor since I did not see her during the last 3 months.... Lesson learned- seek mutiple opinions before signing up to prescription drugs. It will be three years come February since I stopped all medications prescribed by her (AND from anyone else). I STILL have reactions from those drugs.

I've had four psychiatrists and two therapists since I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder in 1999…read more Dr. Ibia is by orders of magnitude the best psychiatrist I've ever had. She's a psychiatrist, not a therapist, but she talks to me! And she listens! She has told me things about the meds I've been on for 16 years that I never learned in the 12 years I was on them before beginning to work with her - about interactions with OTC drugs and possible long-term side-effects - and she is extremely diligent about monitoring for these effects via asking questions and ordering regular blood tests. Dr. Ibia asks incisive questions about my life to determine whether anything medically significant is going on, while at the same time being warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental. Her stated goal is to keep me in a place where my symptoms are being managed - not just where I'm surviving them - and she strikes what I perceive to be an excellent balance in being willing to "tweak" my meds to deal with changes in my mental health, without reaching for drugs as a solution to everything. She is competent and caring and extremely concerned that I am getting the most helpful care possible. Possibly the best doctor - not just psychiatrist - I've ever had.

Dr Mazer is a no-nonsense, straight to the point kind of person, a trait I greatly value. Our…read moreconversations are massively helpful in digging into issues and getting to the root of the issue. With other therapists I've met with, they tend to just sit and passively listen and wait for you to come to your own conclusions with gently probing questions. Dr Mazer is more of a guide or leader through your issues, highlighting things you've said and walking you down paths you might not have considered or gone down yourself. She's great at listening, but it is the insight she brings when you've gotten to the thorny issue that gives new light. Dr Mazer is different, and that is what makes her fantastic. If you prefer a more relaxed setting, and at the same time need to get to the bottom of what is causing you pain or anxiety using an active and spirited dialog, I highly recommend her.

I saw Dr Abdel-Kader a while back and have been pretty satisfied with having her as my doctor…read more She is professional, knowledgeable and gentle in her approach. There were a couple of times when I needed to ask her questions over the phone about possible interactions of her prescription with other medication and she has always been very prompt with returning calls and providing the required information. She has also been gentle and empathetic yet firm and encouraging in discussing issues during office visits. The practice has therapists as well, whom I have not used - Dr. Kader was able to suggest a therapist closer to my home and save me the long ride. The ladies at the office have always been nice, professional and good about scheduling follow up visits as per my convenience. When inclement weather caused them to cancel one of my visits they were pretty good about accommodating me in the schedule within a day - perhaps this is something all doctors do, nevertheless I thought it pretty efficient. At the first visit and one time at a follow up visit (which is scheduled for 15mins) I sensed she was glancing at the clock, which is a bit disconcerting given that a patient in a psychiatrists office is in an emotionally vulnerable place to start with and would like to have the time he/she needs to explain their situation - especially in the first visit. Having said that though I also have to say that Dr. Abdel-Kader is very polite and nice and does not really hurry you up. I have always found her to be pleasant, professional, respectful and supportive. In all I am really glad to have found Dr. Abdel-Kader and am thankful she is my doctor.

His office staff at Prosperity are incredibly helpful and polite, which you don't find everywhere.
