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.

Truly exceptional
One of the most compassionate, gentle, and knowledgeable people I’ve ever met. I typically have a fear of doctors and have trouble communicating symptoms. Safani made me feel safe and supported like no other doctor or psychiatrist has ever done before. He will fight tooth and nail for anyone willing to fight for themselves. He will explore every option the medicine and therapy has to offer. There is never pressure to take medication that you don’t feel comfortable with. He is worth trusting even if you feel unsure. His expertise will change your life if you are willing to put some faith in his knowledge and commitment to helping you. Could not recommend him more to those looking for top of line care. You need to be willing to try your best to follow his advice, and you never have to hide if you fall short sometimes. He makes taking the steps to healing feel less overwhelming.

Dr. Safani treated my daughter for almost a year. He listened to my concerns and always made sure to fully answer my questions. He promptly returned my phone calls and gave his full attention to my daughter and me during our appointments. He is professional and caring. I highly recommend him.

My son has been seeing Dr. Safani for 2 1/2 years now. When we started with Dr. Safani, my son was struggling severely in school and with his everyday activities. Dr. Safani has been professional in his demeanor, patience and understanding. He listens to my fears, my concerns and my observations. He makes his recommendations based on our available options and allows me to make my own decisions regarding my son's care, not pushy at all. He even responds to emails within 24 hours! Great Choice!!
