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.

I have been seeing Dr. Waseff for 8 years. I moved back from Houston in 2011 and was worried that I could not find a good doctor. I was very blessed to find him. I started seeing him when his office was in Longview in the Austin Bank Building....from the very beginning he assessed me and I was put on meds. I have never not once had a problem with the meds . him or his office staff. They have gone above and beyond for me from the beginning. The office staff is so kind and easy to work with. I couldn't imagine anyone being rud... read more

Let me say to start out with I am a senior, who has seen many doctors throughout my lifetime, all of which would prescribe various kinds of Antidepressent medications, plus zannex and sleeping pills. so much so I was a walking zombie. When I went to Dr. Wassef, I was a total mess, and had been for many years. I could not sleep but in small spurts, and then it was not restful, I was haunted by dreams from childhood trauma in every sense of the word. I could not understand why I could not remained focused. At first meeting he ... read more

I was treated by Dr. Wassef during my stay at the ETMC Behavioral Center. During my stay, he threatened to commit me and send me before a judge to spite me when I requested discharge, misdiagnosed me, ignored me during our appointments when I was speaking to him, and even put me in danger by denying and ignoring the very serious side effects I experienced while taking the medication he ordered. Should you ever find yourself a patient of his I would strongly advise that you seek another doctor.

Dr. Wassef literally changed my life. I had struggled with depression and anxiety for years and had been seeing primary physicians for years and trying different meds with no real results. I saw temporary results, but was in denial about my diagnosis and didn't fully trust them because they all wanted me on meds. Dr. Wassef explained things to me and made me come to terms with my situation and referred me to a therapist who was also wonderful. highly reccommend him.

Dr Wassef’s office called to schedule an initial consultation. The woman immediately launched into what felt like an interrogation asking my husband if he took any drugs like Valium or Ativan because the doctor would not be prescribing any. Then she said she needed a credit card number to keep on file so they could charge us $150 if my husband canceled an appointment. My husband has bipolar disorder, vascular dementia and has been sober for 25 years. Needless to say, we didn’t make an appt.

He just shrugged & said he didn't know anything about the symptoms I was describing and said that it wasn't possible for me to be experiencing them and that since he didn't know anything about it he couldn't give me any answers & wasn't going to delve deeper to learn more about them. He asked me questions but wouldn't wait for my response and would talk over me every time I would ask him a question for clarity. Courtesy and an open mind go a long way, unfortunately he was lacking both.

The office staff seemed very friendly when you speak to them on the phone, especially Kelly she seemed to actually care about me and my well being. But as for Jean at the front she is rude and very hurtful my daughter missed an appointment and she when I called she told me she would be dropped from services, she seemed to almost enjoy telling me this. She stated my daughter had been warned in the past and that is it, office policy no exceptions. My daughter has seen Dr Wassef for years.
