Thanks…read moreDoc, my life insurance was cancelled and even though I have been to a number of doctors, I have not had one who would second that diagnosis. I had monthly appointments for a long time. He would be writing the prescription as I walked in the door. Put me on anxiety meds with no questions asked or an attempt to warn of possible addiction. Rarely more than a few minutes in his office and it was time to write the check. I felt like I was meeting a dealer. It's all about the money.

I give HIM 5 stars. He has worked with me for years. Always calls me back in a super timely manner if I have questions (even ridiculous ones) about my meds. He has listened to me rant in our sessions (not supposed to rant in a psychiatry appt. that's what therapy is for) and seems to really care about his patients. Over the years, my mental health has changed and my needs have changed and he has always worked with me to find the perfect concoction. Thank you David! If you ever leave, I'm following.

I sat there for five minutes,was called to the window and told that the doctor was going go reschedule me!!!!

Id find someone else if I was really needing help because they have shown that they don't care to even return a telephone call. You can tell this is a common practice when you read other people's reviews. After seeing the CRNP, she had a meltdown and started crying because I ask her to explain the charges on my bill. She couldn't explain it. Was double charged for every visit. A $155 charge for a so called office visit and another $120 for a 45 minute session. THIS IS CRAZY. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST. What type therapist has a full blown meltdown and ask you to leave and still charges you? This one. I actually thought that I needed to swap seats with her. So very UNPROFESSIONAL.

The majority I have encountered, including registration, are subpar. I'm not sure if this is due to management with staffing, low employee/staff morale, lack of training or something else. I'm willing to bet this is more of an issue coming from the top seeing as though many staff members are missing the mark and not just a few here and there. I'd personally drive a little further to seek care elsewhere unless you absolutely cannot wait. At least until this hospital is able to address and correct their shortcomings.

Horrible experience. DR. RABBANI is the rudest medical professional I have ever had the displeasure…read moreof meeting. I have a history of ADHD. When I received my diagnosis at the age of 35, it was life-changing. I remember thinking "is this how the rest of the world views projects, work, discipline, and anything requiring focus." I finally understood myself. Unfortunately, I needed a fresh start after a few years of not taking my medicine. Dr. Rabbani only looked at forms that I filled out (which only asks questions regarding anxiety, depression, and substance and physical abuse) and had less than one minute conversation before refusing to prescribe Aderral. I even told him it didn't have to be that particular med, if that was his concern. He made me feel like I was drug-seeking and was very argumentative. He said I was diagnosed too late for it to be accurate, that ADHD is only diagnosed in young people!!! He says I dont have ADHD, that I have anxiety and depression. I asked how did medications help me in the past if I dont have ADHD. His answer was that cocaine would help, but that didnt mean I should take it. When I questioned further for understanding, he said "I cant make it any clearer that I wont prescribe Aderral." He would not take a look at the medical records I had sent to his office. He only made an assessment based on a skewed questionnaire that I filled out when I was stressed. He asked "do you have any other medical issues *glances in my direction* other than being overweight." I told him I have sleep apnea which can cause the high blood pressure I'm having, but that its currently untreated because my insurance deductible is too high. He immediately questioned "oh you have money for Aderral but not to fix the root cause of your high BP." Aderral is $15 a month vs. $5000 for diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea. He accused me of refusing his treatment plans when I told him my insurance deductible is too high for therapy. No attempt was made to understand why I feel I have, or why two previous Psychiatrists diagnosed me with ADHD. He clearly does not understand ADHD because zero questions were asked once he honed in on anxiety. I have trouble focusing, forgetfulness, executive function paralysis, trouble with every-day conversations, eye contact, hyper fixation and other BASIC symptoms. He did not ask about any of this. I genuinely felt like this man thought I was trying to "score" some meds. He mentioned people sell it on the street and made a cocaine reference twice. I will take a drug test if you want!! I feel that he took one look at me and made an assessment. Overweight: must be trying score adderral to lose weight. Why would a PSYCHIATRIST be so confrontational? I feel attacked. Dr. Rabbani does not understand financial strain and is very judgmental and condescending. These are not good attributes for a psychiatrist. Thank you for stealing a $50 copay from me and whatever balance awaits because I havent met my deductible.
