About this business

We believe that mental illness is a treatable condition, but Dr. Wassef does not believe in using benzo's for that treatment due to the side effects and long term effects they have on the human brain.

During a dark time of intense grief I ended up in a psych ward & he was the Dr. assigned to me. Under his "care" I only felt worse emotionally & physically. He didn't address my depression or grief at all but did accuse me of being an addict bc I take anxiety meds (he is against the use of them apparently). He replaced my anxiety med w/ a blood pressure med which he claimed worked the same for anxiety. It did not & he was not at all concerned when my BP dropped to 70/40. I could barely sit up w/o blacking out. Most docs are ... read more

I have been going to Dr Wassif for over 8 years. His diagnosis and treatment of me has made a huge difference in my life. I have felt better than I have felt for the past 30 years. Even my family members say it has made such a difference, they encourage me to keep seeing him. I would recommend him to my friend.

I have been a patient of Dr. Wasseff's since 2016 and I truly believe that he saved my life. He definitely knows what he is doing with medications and if you give him a chance and take the medications that he prescribes for you in the manner he prescribes them you will definitely benefit from it. I have the ultimate respect for him and the way he runs his practice!

I visited with the doctor and found him to be both pleasant and professional. He treated me with courtesy as well as compassion. I would recommend him as a mental health provider to any one who requires one.

I have been seeing Dr Wassef for about five years. His no nonsense approach has been good for me. He doesn't want you to tell him what you need. He wants to evaluate, diagnose, and discuss care with you. The longer you see him the better the communication becomes. He doesn't hold your hand. He expects you to do the hard work. In my opinion just how it should be.

I've had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Wassef for approx. 25 yrs. At first I thought he was a good doctor but a little rigid. I decided to stick with him as he was highly recommended by 2 friends. In the months to follow Dr. Wassef proved without a doubt his competency and concern for my well being. Over the years he has become a friend as well as medical provider. I only see him now for managing the medication he prescribes. This relationship has helped me tremendously in more ways than one.

I was referred to Dr. Wassef by my primary care physician to be tested for a more appropriate antidepressant for my situation. Even though we had a zoom meeting, with glitches on my end, I immediately connected with him. In order for him to access me, I had to answer initial questioning with yes, no, or multiple choice. If I started trying to explain, he brought me back on track. I didn’t take it as being rude, like some of the other reviews I’ve read here. After the initial testing he gave me his results, which were spot on... read more

Dr. Wassef helped me to get my normal life back. I was experiencing changes that I just could not explain & was extremely depressed. I was referred to Dr. Wassef & at first we butted heads a little. He was a bit gruff and wanted me to listen to him & I wanted him to listen to ME. Once I slowed down & listened & let him worked through his protocol he needed to use to determine my issues everything was great. We have built a good relationship & I'm very grateful for his help. His office staff is very friendly. To be honest I h... read more
