Dr. Fareed Tabatabai, MD

I came to him with a wrongly-based referral for ECT. He continued in that same vein: Wrong psychiatric diagnosis, comp...letely wrong (and costly) treatment, inadequate to nonexistent follow-up, poorly trained nursing staff [I know this from a completely different case!], hostile secretarial staff: in general, a nightmare, unless you enjoy contributing your healthcare dollars to the finances of greedy "mental-health" professionals. [On the bright side, Tabatabai does possess a very nice, handmade Oriental rug in one room, probably made in Pakistan from a design originating in a different country, a rug that he told me came from "a warehouse in North Carolina"!!]. That reply to my query about the origins of the rug pretty much sums up my [mis]treatment at his hands: he does not pay attention -- careful attention -- to his patients. He does not truly seem to care about human beings. Of course, remember that mental health treatment is not a true science. Mental health professionals are therefore, for the most part, merely guessing: their work is not based on using correct diagnoses for choosing particular treatments for specific ailments. Be very wary of this doctor and his staff of persons who "earn more than they deserve" to be paid. You must be your own best advocate in order to go here! more details
