I was his patient for 2 years and would never recommend him. He may have given me quick appointments (I never spent over 20 minutes), but he would never listen to me. I told him my problems and asked about changing my medications, but he would also prescribe the same two medications for my condition (bipolar disorder), saying "we should stay safe and keep you on these medications." Even after I recovered and found myself able to take myself off the medication, he would still recommend taking large doses. He was not obligated to listen to me, but rather I was obligated to listen to him. It was hardly a good patient-doctor relation. He earned 30,000 from pharmaceutical companies, most of which was compensation for services other than consulting, including serving as faculty or as a speaker at a venue other than a continuing education programs, found through open payments data dot com. It’s an odd statistic I wish I had known before I went in. He was able to charge me just because he can funnel straight into my insurance. He worried more about prescribing medications than my actual health and care. The staff is all right, nothing more than office secretaries. I wish they or the nurses had a level of concern Dr. Bahnassi should have had. If I wasn’t in college and my insurance could cover another psychiatrist, I would have switched to another psychiatrist long ago.

i have had a very good experience with Dr.Bahnassi.i have never waited more than 15 min. to see him,ive never felt rushed out or treated unfairly.if the wait is a little longer because he is busy,that tells me he has alot of patients.so he is obviously respected and liked.he is non-judemental,and i know this from my own experience.i never wait a long time for an appt...other offices are up to a three month wait.i feel they understand when you need an appt.,you need it sooner rather than later as it is a mental health office.
