Dr. Hossain is extremely knowledgeable and patient. He sees my mom and has helped her tremendously! He really cares about his patients. Dr. Hossain is the former head of Psychiatry at Somerset medical center. The practice does not accept insurance, yet he is worth it. I see a lot of posts by patients complain about not being able to see him for their Suboxone. The government limits the amount of Suboxone patients, for a very good reason. Dr. Hossain has limited control over this issue. The practice has gone through a number ... read more

Terrible. The woman that answered the phone was rude and degrading toward me. When I asked to speak with the doctor she laughed at me and said "no, absolutely not". I would recommend staying away from there and telling him she's a horrible person, but she wouldn't let me talk to him so I can't.

Dr. Hossain is one of the most insensitive doctors I have ever come in contact with. I went to him for help with sever depression. Instead of helping me and listening, he informed me that he has seen thousands of patients with depression and that I obviously was not depressed. I tried to be patient and explain to him further the symptoms I was having, even that I was feeling like not existing. He was rude, uncaring, and superficial. He took no time to try to understand where I was coming from and treated me with such disdain... read more
