Doesn't talk much to help always trying to send you for extra help that I feel he should address

I was a patient at this practice for 6 months, diagnosed with ADHD. My psychologist was fine, but seemed to care only about medications. The office staff is terrible, always seeming to be in a bad mood and wholly incapable of delivering or returning messages. The final straw was scheduling a recurring therapy appointment because I needed additional help, then finding out it was cancelled when I went to join. Office staff cancelled the appointment, never notified me, then blamed me for the cancellation (I didn't cancel it) be... read more

I have been on the same med for decades and they are the only medications that relieve a majority of my anxiety. when I say a majority, I am talking about seventy percent which is quite good! The Dr decided that all of his patients who are taking benzo's will now have to taper off of them period!! I was one of them and I asked him why and he had no problem explaining to me in so many words that Psychiatrists in PA are at risk of losing their medical license if they don't try other medicines for Anxiety. I exclaimed I have tr... read more

I have Been seeing Dr. Shamsi for about 5 years. He has been kind , he listens and answers questions about medication, and advises of possible side effects. I have had nothing but a good experience with him. He is knowledable, on time, and patient. He helped me through the most difficult time of my life. I would recommend Dr Shamsi.

The supportive psycho / talk therapy staff is ok but needs a lot of work; there are no PhD psychologists. If possible, consult your own therapist - try to learn about th... read more

So far I am feeling a lot better with the medications he has prescribed. He is very nice. Visits are really short for the money. However it does seem to be helping and he does listen to what I have to say.

Dr. Shamsi has been my psychiatrist for 10 years. He was the only physician who diagnosed me accurately and prescribed the correct medications. Over the last 10 years, I’ve had problems with my work environment, and he has always listened with compassion and suggested that it would be a good idea to take time away from my job to see how much this was effecting my depression and anxiety. He has always been there for me as well as his staff! Dr. Shamsi has truly, truly helped me with my overall mental heath issues in so many w... read more

Doctor left my wife high and dry with her medication. She suffers from depression and adhd and had questions about her medication and got angry about changing dosages and said this is our last appointment and hung up. Run away from this doctor quickly
