These online visits that typically last only 5 minutes are useless. He is the most unsympathetic psychiatrist I have ever dealt with. He is so out of touch with the real world.

Was treated successfully for 12+ years under my former doctor who retired. No way this jackwagon pulls me off nearly all my meds while I slowly lose control of my life. Says I don’t need meds. Really frustrated. Been jerked around by him for too long and I can do basic functions in life without having a panic attack. Guy sucks!

I saw and was treated by Dr.Obasi for two years 3 times a month. He has ALWAYS taken wonderful care of me. He has always paid attention, answered my questions, and never had a problem giving me as much time as I needed during any of my appointments. He carefully prescribed and monitored my medication. Hes a Dr. who actually wants to help you learn how to help yourself and make changes and healthier choices as a pill pushing Dr. isn't going to solve your problems...

I met with this provider and even though he was well aware of my dilapidating anxiety and panic attacks, he just dismissed my mental illness and told me medication would not help and stated that "it was all in my head." Money well spent. Not!
I have had this condition since the birth of my daughter, 28 years ago. It hasn't gotten any better, only worse. It has ruined my career and it will soon be the demise of my marriage if I don't get help fast.

Says he is objective and checks all the facts before coming up with a diagnosis. He made a diagnosis on me with out looking at my chart from an inpatient treatment center I was at for 30 days. During that 30 days I saw a doctor 2-3 times a week. In 1 45min appoint with Obassi he told me the diagnosis I got from the treatment program was wrong.

After my previous dr left I was assigned this guy over tele-conference. Worst experience of my life with a dr. He didn't listen and I had to state information multiple times. He took my off my anxiety medication because apparently I don't need it. Wanted to lower my medications for my bipolar but thank god my neurologists handles those. Wish I could find someone else that would take my insurance.

I went in after ADHD testing and at the advice of my therapist in order to try medication to help my symptoms. After a mere 20 minutes, he concluded that I didn't have ADHD. Stated that I was depressed and had too many responsibilities around the house. Seriously? I have 3 children. I maintain the household. If I am depressed, it is due to the fact that I cannot remain focused, I am forgetful, I have trouble thinking clearly. I left feeling very frustrated and unheard.

I was being treated by Dr. Obasi for bipolar and anxiety at St Michael's Ministry. The 3 years I was treated by Dr.Obasi my mental health decreased severely. Even if I was sobbing in his office, Dr. Obasi told me to read the powe of positive thinking. I was still depresed. He ignored my social worker, co worker and husband who assistest me to numerous appointments to talk to Dr. Obasi about their concern that I was so sad and anxiety. In the end of my treatment I was devastated.

Uncaring, incompetent, needs to go back to school. Does not know how to treat people with schizophrenia or bipolar. Where did he get his license to practice psychiatry?

Terrible doctor using the word very loosely. Not knowledgeable, poorly educated, awful bedside manner. Would have been better off being treated by a Nigerian witch doctor or shaman, probably would have had better results.
