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.

A great fit

Great experience via Telehealth

During my short time working with Dr Simjee, I immediately felt like I can trust in his care and had learned some things previous providers have not mentioned to me or considered in my treatment. I would continue seeing him if I still lived in the area.

Professional, personable, caring and supportive
Telehealth
Dr. Simjee helped me gat back to my life! The initial consult was very thorough and he made me feel taken care of. He’s very knowledgeable, competent, and I’ve never felt judgement from him. Med checks are always easy and he’s very efficient without coming off as uncaring or sterile. He’s fast to reply to messages and his turn around time on documentation is also great. His knowledge and passion definitely stands out as top notch. If you're hesitant to start working with a psychiatrist, like I one was, go see Dr. Simjee and you’ll soon see why it’s nothing to put off. 10 out of 10 would recommend. Thank you Dr. Simjee!

Thoughtful
Telehealth
I have been working with Dr. Simjee for more than a year. He is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and thoughtful in his approach. The ability to broach difficult subjects has never been an issue. I feel that he understands and accepts that life is complicated and that we may not always make the right decisions. He is not ignorant to the struggles and challenges.My ability, as a patient, to be able to admit our failings without worry of his judgment, is incredibly comforting.

Dr. Simjee’s approach goes above and beyond what I have ever experienced in a psychiatrist or really any other doctor. He listens, has very helpful insight and includes other helpful ways to cope and address my anxiety. He is very patient and compassionate and I am very grateful to have found him. He is a very attentive prescriber and I feel he is truly looking to help me have a more fulfilling life and not just send me off with a pill. I highly recommend!
