Dr. Amer Kashoqa, MD

Before I started seeing Dr. Kashoqa, I have not had the best experiences with other psychiatrists. I saw two psychiatrists before who lacked compassion and bedside manner. I would also feel more depressed after leaving their offices! After these experiences, I believed the notion that psychiatrists, in general, do not care about their patients at all. A friend of mine recommended Dr. Kashoqa and now I have been seeing him for over two years. He truly listens to you and treats you like you are an actual human being. He cares more than just the medicine he's prescribing and doesn't make you feel like you're a crazy person. Whenever I have had concerns about a medication, he never invalidated my feelings or forced me to suffer through side effects I didn't want. Finding the right medication can be tricky for some, but Dr. Kashoqa is the doctor who you want by your side during the process. I honestly can't recommend him enough, he has really changed my views on psychiatrists.

I visited Dr. Kashoqa a few years ago and was impressed by his manner and his treatment. I recently felt that I required more treatment, and I contacted his office and scheduled an appointment. Two days before my appointment, I received a text to say it was a telehealth appointment, which I had specifically said that I did not want. I called the office and was told that they were not scheduling in office appointments at that time, and I should call back in May to reschedule. I did so, and they gave me an appointment on 7/1, after telling me that they would be resuming in office in June sometime. I called today 6/9 to reschedule, and was informed that they were not starting in office until September. I told the receptionist that was not the information that I had been given. She was very unhelpful and did not offer me an explanation for the misinformation. I feel that the office staff needs to get their facts together so that patients don't get jerked around.

Very easy to talk too and great staff

Dr. Kashoqa is a wonderful and caring person. It took awhile for him to find correct medication for me, but he did. He alway listens and then advises. He has helped me for a long time through menopause problems, the sickness and death of my husband. He has never let me down. His staff makes you feel comfortable.

Terrible receptionist. Not worth the headache.

I saw Dr. Kashoqa for a number of years and he was unfailingly kind and patient. Ifelt he really cared about me.
