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.

This review was submitted under a pseudonym for added privacy:…read more I was a patient of Dr. Leviadin for about three years. During my time with him I felt he was competent, genuine, and committed to the treatment of his patients. Unfortunately I was misled. It has been brought to my attention that my records have been falsified. His office had issues with my insurance causing my treatment to ultimately stop. I worked diligently to sign and review any documentation he required to ensure that he and his team were compensated for their time. About a year and a half ago I requested my explanation of benefits (EOB) from my insurance provider in hopes that my notes were in these documents as Dr. Leviadin continuously refused to provide my records directly to me despite it being against the law. Per the law a physician can only withhold your records from you if there is information in the documents that would essentially negatively impact the patient. He claimed that per their policy they can only release the records to another treating professional. As many of us seeking mental health care are aware competent and reputable mental health professionals are scarce. When I asked for a copy of the document reflecting my signature agreeing to this policy I never heard of my message was ignored, like many other messages. When finally taking the time to review years of EOB my notes weren't present. However what I did find within these documents were letters and notes from Dr. Leviadin he was required to submit to ensure he was compensated as well as emails between him and my insurance provider. In these notes he falsely stated and emphasized how I was refusing treatment, and also refusing HLOC ie. an outpatient facility for a more intense treatment. There were other shocking claims made by him within these documents. While falsely claiming that I was an insubordinate patient he and my insurance via the copies of their email communications ensured to emphasize that their desire was to help the patient (me). Ultimately making him look like the good guy dealing with a complicated patient. There was also a diagnosis documented as early as 2017 that I was never made aware of. During one of my sessions I asked Dr. Leviadin if I should seek more intense treatment such as voluntarily checking myself into a facility, as my depression was at its lowest. He told me verbatim that his "job was to keep me out of a facility". My assumption back then was that he not only trusted me and my judgement but that he was in fact committed to my care. So it was quite a surprise to see his claims of me refusing HLOC. I was that much more surprised because of the many physicians and LPCs I tried to work with before and after him he was the only one I trusted whole heartedly and consistently presented himself professionally and overall understanding. In no way do I question his intelligence and expertise within the psychiatric field. He's a brilliant and charismatic person. However his professionalism, reliability, authenticity and overall commitment to supporting the patients best interest have all been proven to not be a priority when it comes to money. Understandably he runs a business and this will always take precedence. Just like any other corporation in America. My insurance wouldn't have compensated him if he didn't take the actions he did. It was all at my expense though which is that much more disheartening. I connected with other health care professionals I trust to get an opinion on what course of action to take and also discussed my concern of the potential impact to himself and his family if I reported this to the medical board. I felt quite guilty and cried when even considering reporting this all to the board. I also have to take into consideration the emotional toll and time it will take away from me if I did report this. As I'm moving to Europe the process would become that much more complex. Although I haven't yet ruled out reporting this all I'm submitting a public review after months of contemplation because turning the other cheek is something I simply can't do in this case. I hope this helps other patients set proper expectations and that after he and his team reviews this they'll consider committing to more honest and transparent practices.
