Dr. Afkhami is a reasonable doctor, although as noted below he is not caring in his approach. Instead he adopts a very harsh, direct treatment method. For some people (including me) this is fine; for others it won't work.

The real problem is Dr. Afkhami's attitude outside of treatments and the entire approach of MFA (the group for whom he works). They have an unpublished ridiculous 48 business hours cancellation policy. As everyone knows, the industry standard is 24 hours. They also offer no flexibility in that. Moreover, you never sign anything confirming it, they just charge you. As an example, I had an appointment at 2pm on Tuesday. I emailed at around 5pm on Friday to cancel it. No response until Monday afternoon when Dr. Afkhami tersely wrote saying he would charge me $350. Then when I tried to dispute the matter Dr. Afkhami was rude and unprofessional, and eventually stopped replying altogether. The billing staff in his office are also staggeringly unresponsive and, when they are, veer between passively useless and actively rude.

Given that Mr. Afkhami is a middling provider, the flaws in his attitude and that of MFA mean that anyone can do much better going elsewhere.

I found Dr. Afkhami to be authentic, intuitive and intellectually diligent in his approach. He takes notes, while I am talking to him, which no other therapist has done, in my experience. He is an active listener and his responses to what I say indicate his acumen in issue spotting, and therefore, are extremely helpful. He has taught me the value in paying attention to how I feel in stead of stressing over a situation. This has helped me to realize that circumstances do not matter as much as the degree of importance I attach to them. I have recommended him in the past and will continue to do so i the future. He also has a great sense of humor and is very approachable in demeanor. If you have tried other therapists, as I have, been unable to build rapport, and take your sense of well-being seriously, you might consult Dr. Afkhami.

Does not care to get to know you as a patient. Prescribes you a med, you leave, you pay, that's it. I found him very rude. I was 20 years old at the time I saw him, and perhaps my age is the reason he was so utterly rude and not caring. He also pretends to be an expert in CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) as well. Stick to one thing doc - and let a true CBT specialist, who is caring and professional, handle talk therapy. (Which by the way is very helpful).

Dr. Afkhami has worked with me on generalized anxiety for almost a year now. Within the first month I noticed improvements in my perception of workplace situations and therefore my ability to modify my approach to get a better result. He uses cognitive behavioral therapy which really has helped me. He is genuinely concerned about his patient's well-being and is gentle yet straight-forward, which works well for me.

Dr. Afkhami is skilled in diagnosis and careful in calibrating medications. He is gentle with the very ill and frank about what can and cannot be done about various conditions. In short, he is terrific.
