He doesn't take any insurance. Contrary to what was stated on their website. Initial consultation to $900 + thereafter $350. 00 per half hour. Before discussing the family members ailments, they're more interested in making sure their pockets are lined. Very discouraging for a family that's already suffering. Mental health issues affect the whole family. read more

Outstanding practice! I will continue to recommend Dr. Jamal professionally and personally. Especially his assistant Roxanna who is kind, professional and patient! read more

Dr. Jamal is the best psychiatrist I've seen here. Now it's not like I've seen a hundred different psychiatrists here and came to this conclusion but I've seen a good handful of them and none of them even came close to how good Dr. Jamal was. I won't waste time to go on how unbelievably sh*tty the psychiatrists around are, let's just say it's no wonder so many people out there are so fu*ked up.. it's because of all these dumb doctors who went through all their years of training to waste your time and money. Dr. Jamal is professional, easy going, patient and asked all the right questions. He has a list of questions that he will go over with you to make sure if there was any problems other than what you think you have. He's familiar with what type of medication to prescribe for you depending on what insurance you have (as long as it's not some no name brand insurance). He will also answer any questions you have and is very patient. If given the chance Dr. Jamal would make a great friend, I'm sure. The only downside to seeing Dr. Jamal is that he doesn't accept insurance (but you can always ask your insurance for reimbursement, depending on your insurance) and it can be costly the first couple of times. After Dr. Jamal and you have established trust then (most likely) you can see him every 3 months, which will save you money rather than seeing him every month to refill your prescription. read more

Thank you Doctor for always going out of your way to make time for me. After years of battling anxiety, depression & alcoholism, your diagnosis, your solution, and your kindness have effected me in such a positive way that I felt obliged to write a review as the least I could do. God Bless read more

In this time of COVID-19, he's been able to see me via FaceTime. I can't tell you how invaluable that access to him has been.

Thank you Dr. Jamal! **Yes we all had to make changes in the wake of COVID** it was a literal pandemic that shook our society and daily life as we had known it After working with Dr. Jamal for quite some time I came to realize that its crucial to have a doctor who is not only able to be upfront and honest about your needs and care, but is also able to comfort you and bring peace of mind when it comes to your treatment. Staying on top of his patients: -Roxanna will always give you a call to remind you about an appointment the day before and she never forgets. -Making changes to your appointments is a breeze if necessary. -Keeping up with me even when I have gone off track (showed me he cared) We all had to make changes when COVID hit and always remember that anyone writing a review for a psychiatrist has a literal "mental illness" and the review good or bad should be read with that in mind. My experience with Dr. Jamals professionalism and candor has been nothing but wonderful and I will always be grateful for his Help and Support! read more

Dr.Jamal is a great doctor. My son & I recently visited this doctor & I was very impressed with his professionalism & ethics. Very caring & very tentative to our needs. His secretary went out of her way to accommodate us on a very timely manner, answering all our concerns regarding our appointment calling us back very promptly & very professional. Great service!! read more

Dr. Jamal is exceptional. He is extremely intelligent, kind, professional, attentive and very committed to his patients. He listens deeply and puts in the time to know and understand his patients for who they are as human beings. He has worked with my teenaged daughter and her ADHD has improved significantly which has brought about tangible results. She enjoys talking to him, his calm and thoughtful manner puts her at ease and she feels he has her back 110%. I am so grateful for his thoughtfulness and expertise. Our experience has been outstanding and I could not recommend him any more highly to anyone looking for a compassionate and deeply caring psychiatrist. His assistant Roxanna is also extremely kind and very efficient. read more

I'm writing this review because I think Dr. Jamal should be recognized for the excellent care he provides to his patients. As someone who works in healthcare, I have had the chance to interact with many physicians and as a patient I have seen several in my life. Dr. Jamal stands out as one of the best physicians I have seen as his clinical knowledge is outstanding and his genuine care for his patients is central to his practice. I consider myself very lucky to be his patient and to receive such excellent care. He has my highest recommendation and I'm sincerely grateful to be treated by such a doctor. read more

Several members of my family have seen Dr. Jamal for the last 4+ years, including through the pandemic. He is consistently caring, patient, smart and attentive, whether remotely or in person (pre-pandemic). He's definitely in demand and you do need to plan ahead for appointments but that's not unusual when you're working with someone who is exceptionally good. The few times when we've had a more urgent issue, he and his assistant responded immediately. We're profoundly grateful for his help and recommend him highly. read more

Dr. Jamal has being a HUGE blessing to our family. He saved my daughter's life in 2018. His compassion, kindness and expertise played a crucial role in the recovery and treatment in my daughter's bipolar condition.

Dr. Jamal is a professional who loves his job and truly cares about his patient's well being by making himself easily accessible for appointments and authorizing medicine refills in a timely manner. I have highly recommended Dr Jamal to my friends and family and i recommend Dr Jamal to anyone that is looking for a knowledgeable, caring, kind and compassionate Psychiatrist. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Jamal for many years. Even though the initial reason for my consultations has ended with a good result, I still look forward to my bi-monthly meetings. Having a compassionate and caring professional to keep me on course and discuss any new concerns that I may encounter is a blessing. I am very fortunate to have a professional in my life that I can turn to with questions about my mental health.

He is an expert in anxiety and depression as well. If you need a psychiatrist and are in the Burbank, Glendale , Pasadena area, you can not go wrong w/ Dr. Jamal read more

Dr. Jamal is one of the most genuine and down to earth psychiatrists you could hope to work with. He is both easy to talk to and understanding of the way people experience and cope with life. His particular insights enable him to pinpoint and diagnose in his clients underlaying issues that many other doctors have overlooked. Dr. Jamal's specialties include Depression, Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, and Addiction/Detox. I cannot recommend him highly enough for those seeking to truly work on their mental well-being. read more

I called Dr Jamal's office because he is supposed to be the best. His website said he treats depression. I called the office and the nurse told me he does not. Very disappointed. read more

I was going to do this FOR Dr. Jamal, but I'm doing this for people like me. Twenty-seven years ago, after interviewing MANY, MANY doctors, I found a gem that I stayed with until his death. Thereafter, for 15 years, my general practitioner prescribed my meds because I didn't want to go through the process of finding another psychiatrist. This last year, my general practitioner asked me to find a psychiatrist because, although she is a GREAT doctor who takes very good care of my body, she said I needed to find somebody who specialized in behavioral/mood issues. With reluctance, I finally went to meet Dr. Jamal. To say I hit the jackpot is an understatement - I was lucky to have found another gem. My only regret is that I didn't find him 15 years ago. Dr. Jamal is kind, soft-spoken and he LISTENS. He is a very knowledgeable and intelligent doctor but has never been condescending or judgmental. He does NOT preach to you - he converses with you. Do NOT mistake his quiet demeanor as that of a pushover - Dr. Jamal will NOT be cajoled into anything that he deems harmful or hurtful to his patient. There aren't very many doctors of his caliber. read more

Dr. Jamal is an excellent psychiatrist. He is honest, frank, knowledgeable, and above all just a "real" guy. He will not sugar coat anything. He explains everything, and answers questions in a way that is easy to grasp. As a child I was diagnosed with ADD. Due to cultural reasons my mother refused to believe that I had any problems. I was just a "defiant" kid. Needless to say I spent most of my time in the deans office. When I was not in the deans office I was skipping classes. Growing up I remember my teachers telling me I was very intelligent. In the same sentence they would also tell me I just need to focus more. In my mid twenties I spent a lot of time getting certifications in numerous trades. I spent more time getting certifications than working because I had no clue what I truly enjoyed or was good at. Now that I am a little older I look back, and wonder where I might be today if I had a Dr. Jamal in my youth. A few months ago I found my self needing to have a one or two beers before work. I used alcohol to focus because I thought it helped slow things down and put things in order. At that point I knew I had a problem I could not fix alone. My supportive wife looked around the San Gabriel valley for a. psychiatrist. Luckily a family friend referred us to Dr. Jamal. I met with him about 3 weeks ago he explained what was going on with me. He explained to me that as I got older my ADD did not just go away. He said some adults that had ADD as a child will learn how to not saying outrageous things, be fidgety, and do many of the other things that they did "defiantly" as a child. That is where I was, I did not do some of those thing because I just got older. After hearing that I said to Dr Jamal, "great, I learned how to not do some of those things so I should be able to learn the rest." He told me yes maybe but where has trying to do things without professional help got you. I stopped and remembered the many arguments I have had with my wife. I remember how little things frustrate me so much. I remembered how I was about to turn 30 and realized I still have not found what it is I want to do in life. Most of all I remembered that without professional help I was drinking beers to help me get through the day. He explained that although I learned how to deal with most of the disease in my case I did not learn to focus. Three weeks now and I am back in school. It has been a few weeks into the semester I in the past i would have dropped my classes. I go to class now hungry for knowledge because I can follow what the professor is teaching. I don't chase down drivers that cut me off. I communicate with my wife. I do not wait around for my wife to do things I know I can do such as shopping, laundry, and cleaning. I am starting to put a dent in my honey-do-list. I am not drinking anymore before work. Most of all I feel like I have found clarity, and a calming peace within myself. I am writing this review for husbands, wives, young adults but mostly for parents with children like me. I urge you parents please save you child a lot of the trouble I went through growing up. Do not have us find out that we had a problem that could have been addressed with professional help. Do not let us become adults that wonder were we could have been. Please seek professional help. Dr. Jamal is one of the most insightful and helpful people in my life and in "my work in progress". read more

I was recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I thank God for Dr. Jamal! I was hospitalized for having generalized weakness and fatigue. The nurse in ER could not get me to walk. I have been living in pain without any pain medication my body aches, muscles feel stiff and tight, sharp pinches on my neck, heavy pressure on my shoulders, deep sharp jabs and stiffness on my back (shoulder blades), random bruise-like spasms along both arms and numbness on my hands and fingers sometimes my legs and feet when I wake up every morning. When "flare-up" occurs, my pain is often excruciating and uncontrollable. My body has low tolerance for pain medication if taken my blood pressure drops; therefore, I relied on Valium to help me fall asleep and not feel the pain. This all changed when I met Dr. Jamal at the hospital. He would come diagnose me every day to make sure I had proper care. He has wealth of knowledge about Fibromyalgia and understands my pain. He comprehends what pain is like for a patient suffering from Fibromyalgia. I feel blessed to have found him. Most doctors I've met didn't know what Fibromyalgia is. I've had doctors tell me my pain isn't real. I almost gave up thinking I wouldn't be able to do anything and have to live in this pain alone for the rest of my life. Dr. Jamal gave me hope and encouragement most of all he showed me how to cope, overcome and live with Fibromyalgia. He gave me suggestions on what I can do to relax and not stress like reading doing Yoga use heated blanket, etc. He recommended essential vitamins which helped me regain my strength and energy and prescribed proper medications with caution and care. He truly listens and knows exactly what I'm allergic to and what I need to do to improve my health and quality of life. He is always calm and attentive always allowing me to express my concerns and worries. He is very supportive and able to relate to my pain. Thank you so very much, Dr. Jamal! You are a brilliant doctor and an outstanding Psychiatrist!!! read more
