Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

They lost all my records, and they don't do anything about it. I'm out of meds now.

Helped me in my time of need
What I really appreciate about Dr. A is his ability to listen to your needs and actually do something for you, without making it too difficult. I was prescribed a medication in Mexico that really helped with my anxiety and PTSD. Unfortunately, the US carry it. Dr. Abanishe prescribed me the 3 different ingredients that were in the one pill I was taking, pretty much making it so I was taking the same medication. This really stabilized me, and I will forever be grateful to him and the ease it is to see him.

The Best!
Ever since my first visit Abanishe has helped me understand myself so much better. I’ve seen a tremendous improvement in my life over the years since we first started. The staff is extremely welcoming and kind. I’m forever grateful to have found him and would recommend him to anyone looking for a psychiatrist.

Dr abono she is amazing, his wife who is the receptionist is super sweet and kind. He is a psychiatrist a bit of a matter effect person. If your looking more a sit down I would look more for a psychologist they also are very good at recommending.

Life Saving Dr !
Dr.Abanishe has saved my life . He is a great listener and shows care . He explains and addresses any issues I might have. He is very patient and is always available when I need support. His staff is Amazing and when I have a question or need to schedule an appointment they will see me the same day most of the times. If not I’ll be able to get in within a week but most of the time is the same day & he doesn’t have me waiting for longer than 5 minutes. I drive about an hour to see him I’ve been a patient for about 6 years now .

Provides awesome Care!
I have suffered with major depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and also panic attacks for several years. I have been to several providers and tried different medication‘s which were some benefit to me but did not work well anymore. I was referred to Dr. Abanishe. I’m so glad I went there for my care! He recommended the Gene Sight test ( You can look this up for more information it’s a very useful tool for doctors) This test showed what medicine would work best for my body. I was prescribed the medication that the test recommended. I also completed the transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy. You can research this to find more information about this treatment. This treatment was very affective along with the medication. I am feeling so much better now. I have my joy back and I’m singing again! I am able to cope with the stress in my life much better and able to work and provide care for my family in an efficient manner. I’m so thankful for Dr. James Abanishe and staff.

Laura Waters – May 04, 2022

I’ve had accessibility issues with his office that make it difficult for me to schedule appointments and get refills on my medications. Appointments are not scheduled appropriately to line up with when I will next need my meds refilled. When this happens I end up having to call his office multiple times because he won’t respond to requests from the pharmacy, his office doesn’t open until 11 am, and even if they are open my calls don’t always get answered. The voicemails I leave seem to be ignored as I rarely get a call back. This has led to me running out of antidepressants and experiencing quite unpleasant withdrawal symptoms more than once now. I am going to find another doctor who is easier to get in contact with and manages my scheduling and meds better.

Part 2.. I had called to figure out what was going on with my scripts and if there was anything I could do to help since this was the second time I was having an issue. The secretary then tried to say that I was accusing the office of screwing up when all I said was what the pharmacist explained to me. I told the woman, "Can I just speak with Dr. Abanishe? I really dont like your attitude." Then, she reacted childishly by saying, "I dont like YOUR attitude" and proceeded to hang up on me. DO NOT VISIT THIS DOCTOR OR HIS EXTREMELY RUDE SECRETARY WHO CLAIMS TO BE A NURSE.

Dr. Abanishe is a true healer. Finding a doctor that genuinely cares for his/her patients, was difficult for me. Dr. Abanishe reccommended TMS therapy for me. He provided the therapy at his office. I cannot believe how much better I felt after my first session. It is simply amazing. I'm very greatful to have found Dr. Abanishe. He changed my life.
