Dr Mizani is a miracle. When my therapist insisted I change…read morepsychiatrists from my last one to Mizani, I was reluctant because I thought "all psychiatrists kinda suck, I might as well deal with the one I have because it doesn't get much better." I have dealt with quite a few psychiatrists in my time, including at treatment centers; and all but her have supported this idea I had that psychiatrists have no emotional intelligence, but just a purely clinical view of the human brain and don't view patients as people to listen to but subjects to examine and push drugs on, always thinking they know better and saying insensitive things to invalidate my real struggles. But not her. She LISTENS. God, I have never met a psychiatrist who listens and really LISTENS like her. She cares what you have to say and takes everything you say seriously and into account before all of her carefully thought out decisions. She makes me feel seen, respected, taken seriously, cared for, and listened to. That's a rare find. And she really knows what she's talking about; her knowledge of psych and medication is very impressive beyond expectations. As soon as I started seeing her, she was able to immediately help what was wrong with my meds and change things around to the right mix. She always lays out multiple options (some containing adding meds, but always presenting alternatives and respecting any apprehension to meds), and takes the time to listen and weigh things out to whatever you feel is best for yourself. She helped refer me to mental health treatment in August when my depression was at its worst, and though the treatment was incredible, the psychiatrist there just couldn't compare. It reminded me of how lucky I am to have Dr Mizani, the best of the best. I have depression, anxiety, and a past of an eating disorder and she has been nothing but helpful and wise. These problems are big in my life but she has kept them under control like no other, and when they get less manageable, she finds the right solutions (like when she strongly encouraged me to go to treatment and provided those resources). Finding mental health professionals who know how to handle eating disorders and don't say totally triggering and incorrect things about them is surprisingly difficult, but she is one of the few who knows what she's doing and doesn't say triggering things. If you're struggling with your mental health and like me have fear around psychiatrists and their lack of emotional intelligence, please give Dr Mizani a try. She's different. She's gold.

I was referred Dr. Mizani when I was pregnant, dealing with anxiety and let's face it, I exhausted…read moretalking to my girlfriends about my issues and marriage. I would say I am a type A personality and I like things under my control. Pregnancy, however, turned my emotions on its head. Thanks to a surge of hormones, everything made me highly irritable and aggravated. I knew, or hoped, that it was just the pregnancy. I decided to seek help because I wanted my pregnancy to go smoothly. Dr. Mizani was the perfect person to hear me out. She heard me out and used her expertise to see patterns in my actions and offered me ways to approach concerns I had differently. She got mad with me, when I was mad, and she validated me just enough that it opened the gates to tell her more of what I was dealing with. She was able to discuss sensitive issues about my marriage that didn't make me feel embarrassed. She is highly professional and very experienced with working with personal matters and intimate matters of the heart and soul. I am so glad I was able to have her be my doctor . She is so well read, researched and up to date in her therapeutic approach. I have since referred two other friends to her who are also equally satisfied and comfortable with Dr. Mizani.

I well preface this by saying I only called Dr. Aldahwi to inquire about her services and ask some…read morequestions regarding her practice and couples therapy but she exceeded my expectations in just a simple phone call. Not only did she address my basic questions that we all have when looking at therapy options for the first time but she actually took time to talk to me and listen to me probably more than she should have about my issues in my relationship. She even asked questions. I felt heard and engaged with and for as brief as it was, it was like a breath of fresh air. I don't usually write reviews, but for someone who took time to listen when they had really no obligation to, I just had to. Highly recommend considering if you are looking at options. Hopefully maybe soon my partner and I can book a session.

I've been a patient of Dr. Stein for 3 years, and I've been very happy with the level of care she…read moreprovides. I've seen many psychiatrists in the past who are just "going through the motions"--Dr. Stein is NOT one of them! She is genuinely interested in what is happening with my emotional, physical, and situational state, and she really approaches my situation with fresh eyes each time I see her. She is not a therapist, she is a psychiatrist, so I wouldn't go in expecting a therapy session, but she does take considerably more time to really understand what's going on than any other psychiatrist I've seen in the past. I originally started seeing her because she is specifically trained in reproductive psychiatry, and I suffered from postpartum depression with my first pregnancy. I did not want to repeat that if I could avoid it. She worked with me to develop a way of weaning down my medications, and advised me on the costs vs benefits of staying on medication through my second pregnancy. She is also up to date on the latest research, and recommended supplements and a specific prenatal vitamin to help with my mood. I did not have PPD the second time around and I credit a lot of that to her care. She also referred me to a fantastic therapist, and a wonderful OB/GYN. I trust Dr. Stein and I recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful "big picture" psychiatrist.

The purpose of this review is to inform others of their policies before engaging in their services…read more I spent a year and a half in bi-monthly sessions with one of their therapists. This review is not a critique of her ability as a therapist, but rather the manor in which they began strictly enforcing late rescheduling fees. Due to work, I had to reschedule(not cancel) an appointment approximately 38 hours before my scheduled time. Their policy is 48 hours. 3 days later I received a superbill for an automatic late charge fee of $200. When I asked about the charge, their response was curt and uncompromising. Because of this, I chose to part ways. I have never been charged such a fee by a health care provider. Once long term relationships are established with health care providers, it is generally assumed that there is a threshold, a certain amount of leniency/forgiveness in situations like this. For further context, my wife had previously been under long term care with their practice for over 13 years. I hope this helps others know what to expect when engaging with this office and practice.
