My experience as a patient with Dr. Mike Mahgerefteh was exactly what I was hoping for. He is a thoughtful, intelligent, kind, and empathetic doctor who listened to my concerns and worked with me to create a contingency plan for my healthcare needs. He is an excellent patient teacher, stays up to date on his literature, and provides treatment from evidence based practice. He made me feel empowered to be involved in my own care, took great time to answer and explain my questions, and I felt very comfortable in his care. I appreciated his collaborative nature. I highly recommend Dr. Mahgerefteh as a psychiatrist, he is a wonderful doctor for his patients. Thank you Dr. Mahgerefteh, see you again soon!
