This is only a preliminary review - with a long one coming - while keeping the private stuff compliant and solely focused on the service, attention to detail, amazing empathy, ridiculously ability to connect at a personal level and understanding of your background no matter how unique, and holistic care that Michelle provided - 15/10. My only wish is she could join me as I moved to Ny I would stick with her forever. Stay tuned

A Truly Exceptional Doctor Who Changed Our Family's Life!!!!!…read more We were referred to Dr. Towery by my teenage daughter's pediatrician. Although his services were expensive, we were desperate to help our daughter and willing to do whatever it took to find someone who could truly make a difference. So we decided to give Dr. Towery a try. Before seeing him, multiple psychiatrists had diagnosed our daughter with depression. But to our surprise -- and relief -- Dr. Towery determined that she did not suffer from depression, but rather was exhibiting rebellious behaviors typical of adolescence. In today's world, it's all too easy for professionals to prescribe medication and continue treatments indefinitely. It was a blessing to find someone who took a different approach and wasn't quick to medicate. Instead, Dr. Towery recommended insightful books and a practical rewards system tailored to our daughter's needs. We followed his advice, including delivering the "wake-up call" he urged us to give -- and it worked. We saw a 180-degree transformation in our daughter. Later, when our younger son was diagnosed with OCD elsewhere, we brought him to Dr. Towery as well. The bond they formed was incredibly strong. When the day came that Dr. Towery said goodbye because our son's OCD was cured, my son was genuinely sad -- he misses Dr. Towery dearly to this day. Dr. Towery is a rare gem in the field. His honesty, insight, and commitment to truly helping children and families is unmatched. We are forever grateful, and I give him my highest recommendation

Dr. Brady became my psychiatrist at the lowest point in my life, and I can't say enough good things…read moreabout her. When I worked with her, she was at Kaiser in Daly City. She listened intently, empathized with me, and found me a PERFECT fit for a therapist. (And when that therapist left, she found me another amazing therapist.) She checked in with me regularly, always asked for my input, and worked in a very conversational manner -- almost to the point where I felt like she was a bonus therapist :) She popped in my head tonight as I was reading a book, and I hadn't thought about her in a while, so I decided to look her up. I'm glad to see she's free from the Kaiser Psych system. I can't speak for anyone else or their experience, but narcissist is probably the last word I'd use to describe Dr. Brady. I was a bit shocked to see someone accuse her of that to be honest lol. Felt like I should pay back a teeny bit of what she gave me by writing this review :)

Warning- This is deeply personal and could be upsetting/triggering to some…read more It is difficult to find the words to describe the life-saving, compassionate, expert doctors, nurses, and staff who literally saved my life. After a personal trauma and then the traumatic deaths to not one but two fiancés, I had battled treatment resistant depression for decades, and itstole so much of my life. I hid it for so long because I had to work to support myself, but it was taking everything out of. When my fiancé in college committed suicide after I said things I didn't mean out of insecurity, his friends took him to a pub crawl to cheer him up. He called me later than he was supposed to, and I was madly in love so had been waiting by the phone which made me upset, and even though he sweetly asked me THREE TIMES to please pick him up, I said no. I had no idea what had happened before that call to me. Only after coming home and finding his body on the blood soaked couch would I learn that he had discovered something heartbreaking just before he called me. If trying to live with that for years wasn't hard enough, my best friend, who kept me from killing myself, and I became engaged, but on his 30th birthday, we learned he had stage four pancreatic cancer, and the doctor literally gave him 6months to live. In spite of the cruel 4 years of pain and suffering he endured and fighting it by trying experimental drugs and everything under the sun, he lost the battle, and my precious love passed away. Once again, I was truly devastated and alone. I knew what suicide would do to my mother, and even though we had never been close, I never wanted to put anyone through the hell that I was trying to live with, so I was pretending to be ok but was consumed with PTSD, grief, and depression. . My life was a struggle to keep my chin above water because I was drowning, and nothing I had tried was helping. I met the man who I married and then began living a double life where I had an amazing man and life, but I was still pretending to be alright hiding the depression that I lived with. The years of anti depressants and counseling never amounted to anything, and after having my first child who brought me so much joy to have, I developed severe postpartum depression too. This is where I still shudder thinking about it because I began to thinking that I had to die. I couldn't let my child and husband be around me because I would only bring them down, make problems and ruin their lives. I believed it, and made plans to make it look like an accident. Imagine having an amazing life with the most incredible gift of a tiny human who had a loving, doting father and having a wonderful husband...but I could not feel it. I BELIEVED I had to save them from me. I researched ketamine and found an angel who answered my phone call named Linda. She told me it didn't have to be this way and to meet with Dr. Ghorieshi. It was my last attempt of finding help, and I can tell you that I am writing here and now because Dr. Ghorieshi, Linda, the world class PAs, nurses and MAs, and the kind staff. Saved my life. Let me be clear that I would not be alive, not live to see my beautiful son turn another year older, not experience the joy that life offers if it wasn't for the ketamine and then Spravato treatments that I truly know cured my incurable depression! My life now is joyous, I am the strong, intelligent, funny, and capable mother and professional that I knew I could be once the TRD was gone. No matter the trauma, suffering, and hell you're going through, there IS treatment, and you can honestly trust the professionals like Dr. Ghorieshi, Dr. Yaghoobi, and Nazanin to name a few to succeed where all else failed. This has been my personal story of triumph over trauma, life after loss, and the hard working dedicated people who chose to help even the toughest cases like mine. PAMB saves lives, and I am living proof.

Warning - Dimitriu Will Call the Cops on You!…read more I was sitting in my house not bothering anyone or making any threats. I was not committing any crimes. I was not in danger. I was not bothering anyone else. This "doctor," Alex Dimitriu, called me at home and told me he was incarcerating me in a locked facility. I tried to talk to him to see what the problem was and address any concerns he might have. He arrogantly just told me "I'm not going to argue with you." The law was on my side and civil rights exist. I politely told this person that he technically could not legally do this to me. His response was to threaten to call the cops on me, weaponizing his medical license and the racial dynamics of the situation. Interacting with Alex Dimitriu left me feeling like the most helpless victim. He forced himself on me through "medical treatment" - involuntary incarceration. He spit on my right to due process - the one guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Alex Dimitriu treated me like three-fifths of a person. I have been diagnosed with PTSD as a result of Dimitriu's aggression. I have not felt safe since he ignored the law, stripped me of my rights, and traumatized me. The professional psychotherapist I consulted (who is licensed by the state of California) called Dimitriu's actions "a disgusting abuse of power." I suspect but can not prove that he tried to hide his actions and this review from you, the reader. I've had to rewrite it once. Stay safe - stay away from Dimitriu! - Former patient

She is not a rigid, silent psychiatrist of the old school but a human being who happens to have an intuitive and observant grasp of her companion human beings. and hailing from Virginia, can talk Civil War lore with the best of them. She is profusely available for phone calls from home or via Zoom. I think I've caught here in only two mistakes over several years, and, unlike other shrinks she readily apologizes--making herself all the more human. Her consulting cottage is a little gem; she has less of an "attitude" than anyone I've ever met; and she is a cat's best friend (don't worry, she leaves them at her home).

She is nearly the opposite of my previous psychiatrist, which I find very refreshing. Dr Quang-Dang is a recent addition to PAMF and a great asset. She is very enthusiastic in her support of her patients, which goes along way, in addition to being familiar with current research and willing to try novel approaches when the tried and true methods fail. Her recent work with me, tuning my anti-depressants, has been creative and very effective. I am looking forward to working with Dr Quang-Dang going forward.
