I was Dr. Rafiqs very first patient. He has helped me get through the toughest parts of my life within the past several years. He saved my life. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs help with their mental health. I honestly owe my life to him. Without him as my doctor I wouldnt be here. Thank you so much!
I would recommend Dr. Rafiq one hundred times over.He has done in one visit, what 4 other doctors could not do, over the course of ten years.He asked me questions I had never beenasked.He made me feel hopeful.He’s the real deal. He knows what he’s doing and he cares.Today, I’m happy & productive, thanks to him.: )
I have been seeing Doctor Rafiq for a number of years and he has been amazing. He’s always there when you need him, listens to you and tries different ways to help. Dr. Rafiq takes time to figure out new ways to help with every type of disorder. Does not push pills on you like some other psychiatrist might do. Overall, I’d recommend him to everyone
Ive known Dr. Rafiq for a couple years now and hes always shown care and compassion to all his patients. Hes always prompt on answering calls and texts regardless of the time of day. You never have to be nervous to see him as he always makes you laugh no matter the situation you are in, he assures you there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Hes helped with my medication regimine for a while now and I always bring his opinion to my other care providers and they always agree with him. Near or far, he is always available either in person or via telepsych. Book him today!
Dr. Rafiq has been instrumental in treating my anxiety and treatment resistant depression. I have been to multiple psychiatrists over the past 15 years, all of which prescribed the same old medications that never worked Well for me. Dr. Rafiq came along with a new approach to treating my depression and my quality of life has improved ever since. I feel as though I’m finally thriving in life not just surviving each day. I highly recommend Dr. Rafiq especially for people who feel like they have tried everything and nothing has worked for them. He has given me hope for my future and I’m very grateful for that.
After years of Searching for the right doctor and medication management for my bipolar, Dr Rafiq has been the Greatest help of all! He’s worked with me to find the right treatment. He is very professional and discreet. I would recommend Dr Rafiq to anyone!
Excellent doctor Ive only been to two or three months like 6 times to kick things off but Dr Rafiq wants the best for the patient with my experience this is the most down-to-earth doctor and you can have a civilized conversation without feeling judged. I am completely happy the past 3 months my life has changed in many ways for the better. My advice is just to be honest completely 100% honest and he will find a way to speak to you and guide you in the right direction. Bottom line highly recommended and I really dont do Google reviews in general unless Im very happy.
Dr. Rafiq started treating my wife in October for Suboxone. She was prescribed Oxycodone for years by a Dr. who just up and retired, leaving her hopeless and with few options. We found Dr. Rafiq and she began treatment. From day 1 he has been amazing. 5 months later and he has helped her with Bipolar Disorder, Depression, and the Opiate removal. She is the person I first met almost 20 years ago, a happy and bubbly person whom I havent seen in over 12 years. Quick and to the point, Dr. Rafiq does not F around, instead he pushes for the best treatment to make his patients whole again. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Rafiq to anyone looking for Opiate Management assistance or for any Mental Health needs in general.
Dr. Rafic has helped both my husband and I deal with his depression. He worked with me to help me to recover from a lengthy illness.We find easy to talk to, very knowledgeable, and current in the application and use of newer medications and methods that are beneficial to his patients.
I have received guidance from Dr Rafiq for well over a year now, and it has been an invaluable experience in my life. He has helped me get back on track so much, and my stress levels are at an all time low! I have been able to be productive and succeed given my renewed focus and drive. Highly recommend this guy!!
Probably the best doctor I ever had. I can call him or text him any time. He’s always trying something new. The experience is very personal and I feel more supported by him than any other doctor I worked with. He probably saved my life honestly, and he never gave up on working with me. Thank you dr Rafiq you’re the best
Most unprofessional psychiatrist ever! My husband never even got to see him as a patient, because he was so terrible with regards to my husbands insurance (which he supposedly takes/is in-network with). I had personally called the insurance company earlier in the day to verify eligibility, and told him (over the phone, while my poor husband was standing there, waiting to see him) to do the same. He refused to do it until a later time, and the whole situation was very anxiety-provoking for him. He even said he was on the verge of a panic attack, and Dr. Rafiq didnt seem to care at all, and gave my husband another appointment a week later! A day before the 2nd appointment, I called to confirm things were good to go for the next day, and he insisted he would have his biller call right now (even though she had 6 days to do it). We never got a call back, confirming OR canceling the appointment, so my husband went. The doctor gave him some BS that the insurance was 3rd party, and after all that, he wouldnt see him. Terrible person, forget doctor. No one should give him any business. I would give him ZERO stars if I could.
Dr. Rafiq is accessible at all times. He listens and works with the patient to make improvements. Great Doctor. Sublocade injections will change your life. Highly recommend.
I dont write reviews but had to say how thankful I am to have chosen Dr. Rafiq as a psych. I now recommend him to friends and family.After years of crippiling issues, doctors, and medication - one short visit in his clean, open office was able to pin point my problem and set me on a track that’s working. Appointments are convenient, comfortable, and include a kind staff who remember your name.
I dont know where I would be without Dr. Rafiq. This guy is extremely reliable. Hes patient, understanding, super laid back. He is also just genuinely a cool guy, always respectful. I have a been a patient of his for years and I have never met a patient who doesnt respect him.
Very nice people and listens to you. They perform genetic testing which has been a help with medication and they treat you with respect and no judgment. Would recommend to anyone.
I have been a patient of Dr Rafiq for five years. He is amazing and has always taken the time to listen and help. I would recommend him to anyone else that would need a psychiatrist.
He is the most caring and knowledgeable doctor. He helped us through some of the darkest times. I would recommend him to everyone who wants a doctor who is always available to help you.
Dr Rafiq is an excellent doctor. Ive been with him for several years and he has always provided outstanding care. I highly recommend him.
Dr. Rafiq has helped me return to a normal life. He is smart and kind and responsive to concerns. I cant recommend him more highly!
I’ve been seeing Doctor Rafiq for some time now and I’ve only felt better since going to him. Very comfortable environment with no pressure while at the same time knowing he and his staff are always there if you need them.
The Most Caring Dr Whom Saved Me At My Lowest Time In My Life. Him & His Wife Made Me Feel So Comfortable And Like Family.He Really Is A Smart & Caring Dr.I Thank Him So Much For Listening To My Needs And Issues And Is Not Afraid To Tell You How He Feels And What He Recommends.IM SO GREAT FULL HE HELPS ME SEE WHO I AM AND NOTICES EACH VISIT JUST ALONE IN MY FACE HOW IM FEELING!!I HONESTLY HOW HIM SO SO MUCH FOR HIS CONFIDENCE IN ME AND MADE ME FEEL BETTER NO MATTER THE “TOXIN” THAT SURROUNDS ME!! THANK DR. XO.
A great Dr. who takes his time to remain present. Dr. Rafiq has a unique sense of humanity even when times seem to be very busy. This is something we all should strive to obtain.
Dr Rafiq has changed my life for the better! He quickly found the right combination of medications and I feel so much better! Thanks Dr. Rafiq!!!

2022-02-17I am extremely disappointed. The reviews were very encouraging and hopeful and as someone whose struggled with numerous doctors in the past so I was looking forward to my visit. I was informed intake would be an hour, so you would think that it would be a reasonable time to sit and chat to get personable. For starters my paperwork/insurance took over 30 minutes to complete. The front desk was not the issue. They were as kind as could be. Minutes past and finally Dr. Rafiq came out asking for me. I was thrilled. We sat for no more than 15 minutes. For starters he called me by the wrong name. Then proceeded to ask me the same questions I have filled out on the intake forms. As tears rolled down my face something as small as offering me a tissue was not offered. He did not care to ask me anymore questions that would be key to his knowledge in actually helping me in finding a suitable medication. My reason for the visit was severe anxiety and if he knew better he would know that people with anxiety have a difficult time expressing themselves. With that being said he proceeded to tell me that I will take the medication he gives me (despite saying I’m afraid of medication due to having a horrific experience with it in the past) and continued telling me NOT to Google the medicine and trust him. He then continued telling me that if I feel good I would go and tell other people how good I feel and that I would send them to him. Again- for the 15 minutes or so I sat with him he then got up and asked for the medication from his front staff and handed it to me as I’m still crying; opened the door and told me to take my time. I felt rushed, nothing personable. I am not continuing any appointments. What a shame to just feel like another insurance case and figure to his practice. I called back explaining my disappointment and the front desk who answered said “he said he would help you!” That’s what every doctor says. Remember that. I feel sorry for anyone whose had a rough experience and can’t speak up and walk out trusting him. Zero stars if it was an option.

2022-04-13If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Dr. Rafiq was able to tell what I needed from the first appointment, and my mental state has never been so stable. My experience with their online service is also a huge time saver and I really appreciate it. I would recommend this office to anyone, seriously, I owe a lot of my sanity to Dr. Rafiq.

2022-06-13I am not sure where to begin. I have never really written any reviews for anyone but this time I have been forced by Dr. Rafiqs exceptional and outstanding knowledge toward my moms condition. My mom had taken steroids, and narcotic for the severe pain in her leg that was going on for weeks in October and honestly that was the start of everything. My moms pain had eventually subsided but a lot of different symptoms had started to emerge out of no where. She was tachycardia, hypertensive, had insomnia etc. and the primary doctor was treating her symptoms. we were also referred to other specialists and every doctor started treating ONLY the symptoms and not the root cause. every doctor was misdiagnosing her and we were getting no where. Eventually it kept getting worse to the point that my mom could not walk without assistance, would pass out very frequently, started to hallucinate. My mom was just not herself anymore. She was being treated by a different psychiatrist and her symptoms did not improve. I then came across Dr. Rafiq on google and thanks to few people for their thorough reviews about Dr. Rafiq. I easily got an appointment and I decided to switch my psychiatrist and see Dr. Rafiq instead. I remember my first day at Dr. Rafiqs office. I was in tears because I felt so helpless but Linda, the receptionist ensured that everything will be okay and that I was in the right place, and I agree, coming to Dr. Rafiq was the best decision. Dr. Rafiq diagnosed my mom correctly. My mom had major depression because of the meds she took in the past and since no one treated her depression right , it had only got worse. Dr. Rafiq patiently listened to my concerns, and addressed them every time. I have never felt rushed. We quickly found the right combination of drugs for my mom and within 2 months my mom was no longer passing out and is now walking her self. The doctors who misdiagnosed her and thought that she had something neurological are now stunned. I am in tears writing this review but I hope someone out there can benefit from it like I have from someone elses review. Dr. Rafiq is like an angel sent from God to help us. He has given me my mom back and I am forever grateful for that. Dr. Rafiq has given us a new life. My mom is back to her normal self. Dr. Rafiq knows exactly how to plan things. My mom is getting TMS now and will soon be off the medications. Kristy is another great person who does TMS at Dr. Rafiqs office. she is so humble and has such a clean heart. every person at the office makes you feel so comfortable. Thank you so much Dr. Rafiq and to all his friendly staff who has been with us through this journey.

2022-05-19Please watch your mental health with this man and his twisted staff.I was a regular patient that followed through month after month. I paid full payments every month. I was never once late or ever had an issue. I was put on a medication for schizophrenia. I have depression & anxiety!! This doctor is extremely unprofessional and in my opinion very uneducated. My new doctor was quite concerned with all the medications I was currently taking. He helped me come off all the toxins over a long period of time.He had deteriorated my mental health for 3 years and still did not even remember my name!!I can not imagine the patients he is destroying.Beware.

2021-10-07Dr. Rafiq was very available to me as a new patient and was extremely helpful in treating my problems. He continues to work with me and is always available at any time as often as needed. He has a very calming and down-to-earth manner. I would definitely recommend him.

2022-01-10I was severely sick from Covid-19 this past summer and after being in ICU, my life was completely taken over by severe anxiety and depression afterwards. I saw very little to no hope for the future. I honestly thought I was going to remain sick for the rest of my life. I had no desire to see the light of day or even get out of bed. Luckily, I found Dr. Rafiq, who completely turned my life around. He gave me hope and listened with care and compassion, which meant everything to me. He put me on the correct medication and within 2 weeks, I was on my road to recovery and started feeling stable again. I’d also like to acknowledge his AMAZING staff who always made me feel welcomed and for always being available whenever I had a question or needed paperwork filled out, they treated me like family. I am eternally grateful for such a marvelous team, I don’t know where I would be today if it weren’t for all of your help. I’m now back being my happy, active and sassy self again lol,. I appreciate every single one of you, thank you!!. I would highly recommend him to anyone who’s going through a difficult time in there lives, Mental health is real and nobody should continue to suffer or feel embarrassed about getting the help you need. Stay blessed everyone.

2021-09-02First, very friendly and helpful staff.Dr. Rafiq, helped, is helping me navigate through a very difficult phase in my life after/through divorce. I feel as though he helped me turn a corner when I was stuck in place and frightened to move forward.Im not someone that often posts reviews, I dont even attend to social media much. But, I know how personal and difficult it can be to find the right mental health professional. So, I felt it important to make sure that someone else like me might find they care they need with him.

2019-10-21I’m an RN so I’m not impressed easily. Dr Rafiq is exceptional. His warm , genuine personality puts him up there with the best. He is up to date on the latest treatments available. He will take the time to educate you on treatment modalities and speak to you on your level. His assessment skills are beyond compare. In a very short time he had my anxiety under control. Dr Rafiq treats several people in my family. All are happy and comfortable with him. And I can’t forget to mention what a friendly, efficient office staff he has which includes his dog Henry🙂 Thank you Dr Rafiq for all that you’re doing for my family.

2021-02-27I trust Dr. Rafiq like no other.My life has been subject to all different kinds of therapy. I know this is relative, but I’ve had ups and downs few could comprehend. I’ve personally and professionally never been more successful as I have been with Dr. Rafiq. I’ve been seeing him a few years now.Some of my success is due to where I was at with life when I started with him, which was rock-bottom. Another part is me coming to grips with having to study a bit and learn about my disorders. I’ve also led a healthier lifestyle compared to before meeting him.I know from previously working with other doctors that part of the journey is trying different things and/or different medications. If you are able to work with Dr. Rafiq, you have to be open to possibly trying medications that won’t work, they might make you feel worse instead of better, but, this is where you must give immediate feedback and trust to him.It took us close to a year to find the right medication. That might seem like a long time, but it’s not when you look back on the sum of years where nothing ever seemed right.Suggestion if your path is similar to mine. You must share with loved ones that you will be trying new medications and have them give you and/or Dr. Rafiq feedback as well.I hope Dr. Rafiq is around for a very long time.

2019-11-04After years of participating in talk therapy with little improvement, I started searching for a Psychiatrist. Dr. Rafiq took the time to discuss the mental health issues I was experiencing, and made an assessment of my condition. He was able to alleviate the issues I was experiencing in a relatively short amount of time. During our appointments, Dr. Rafiq makes me feel comfortable enough to discuss truthfully how I am feeling. He has also been there for me on multiple occasions when I am in need of counsel. He is an absolutely exceptional Psychiatrist.
