I’ve been going to Dr. Kazi since 2015 and she has helped me get through a lot of my hardest times. When I came to her in 2015 my mind had taken over my body and my life. She got me through it. She is caring, professional and excellent at her God-given gift as a Psychiatrist. Thanks, Dr. Kazi for giving a part of yourself to many daily. You are a true Blessing to many.

I have been a patient for two years. Every staff member has been outstanding. Amanda Bell is a blessing. She is compassionate, and sincere, listens intently and is always able to calm me and help me focus and get the most from my treatments. Dr Kazi has been available whenever I need help. She is on top of my care and aggressively monitors my progress. I came to her suffering major depression and overall a mess. My mental health has substantially improved under her care and she is continuing to help me reach and maintain even higher levels of health. The office does have strict policies but everything is clear and patients are well informed at all times. The guidelines are appropriate and reasonable. I highly recommend this mental health clinic

I have had amazing experiences with this business, both on the medical and business side. Any issues I've experienced with billing have been handled gracefully and with patience; the staff are very easy to talk to and are understanding. I LOVE PA Hofer; she (and other staff) are always very quick to answer online Portal questions, are very flexible with visits, understand when it comes to medication costs/changes, and go the extra step when it comes to evidence-based practice.

I've been taking my mom to Dr. Kazi for the past 17 months and we still go. She is an amazing physician and her staff is very warm and welcoming. She has helped my mom when mom needed her the most. If it was not for Dr. Kazi's, I don't know what would have happened to my mom. I am so grateful to her. The bonus is her staff is awesome. Very response to emails and phone calls. Amanda is amazing!! I can't thank Dr. Kazi enough!!
