I was a patient of Dr. Alloju/Fairweather/Frankenstein as a college kid. I'd been struggling with…read moredepression and anxiety since I was 15, and now at 20 the consequences of these conditions were having a disastrous affect on my school performance. I went to this doctor because I needed help. I felt like an outsider looking in, trying but failing to be a Human Normal. I hated myself with fury and fire. And I didn't want to want to die, but I certainly longed for an eternal reprieve from the pain. So I went to a doctor. I was in school in Brooklyn but grew up in Texas, and as I was home for the holidays, I started seeing Dr. Alloju. I didn't know the far-reaching and indelible mark this would leave on my life, changing the course completely. I was a bright kid. I read constantly. A bit of a nerd. A writing major. I wanted to write plays and movies. But here's what happened instead: After talking to me for 45 minutes and barely listening, this woman diagnosed me as having Bipolar II Disorder. I wasn't that upset about it because I thought, well maybe she's right and maybe she can help me. Over the course of the next year, culminating in a near-death experience, I was put on these medications concurrently: Lamictal 400mg, Seroquel 350mg, Klonopin 2mg twice daily, and to cap it all off, Geodon 80mg. This is enough medication to sedate an obese elephant. I was 20 years old, 5'2 and 107 lbs. I had to drop out of college because I almost died from this demented drug cocktail. That was a long time ago and I'm still angry. I'm still angry that it took me 10 more years before I was properly diagnosed as ADHD and on the autism spectrum. I didn't need to be on those drugs. I just didn't. When I told her they weren't working, she'd just increase the dosages. Once, during a phone session, she said I sounded drunk and went a step further to label me as an alcoholic. I didn't really drink at the time; my words were slurred because of the sedating medication. The irony, of course, is that Dr. Alloju has multiple DUIs and was on some sort of probation while treating me. I only have flashbulb memories from an entire year of my life. Apparently I almost died from an overdose of these medications. It took many years to try and get my life back from this monster. This is all to say, this woman will destroy your mind, body, and spirit. And she almost ended my life. What she did to me was criminal. Not just malpractice, although it was also that, but it was a deeply immoral negligence and breach of trust. At least if she *had* killed me she might not be practicing to this day. Stay. Away.

If you truly need help this is NOT the place to go. They will cause MORE distress in your life than…read moreyou came with. This is the most despicable center for mental health I have ever encountered. Let's start with the turnover. Extremely high! You cannot count on accuracy and continuity of care whatsoever. I have seen 4 different providers within the span of 6 months. Two weeks after my initial appointment the NP that I met with left the practice. Medications were not sent in so I had to call and request them. Getting your medication is a whole other story. It can take up to a week to get your medication sent over to the pharmacy. You will be playing phone tag with them daily. Punctuality is null and void. Every single appointment I had I waited no less than 30 minutes to be seen by a provider. Mind you two visits were televisits so you're just sitting there waiting, on camera. The tardiness and inability to be punctual caused me to be late returning to work each occurrence. Following an incorrect medication refill I noted a new provider on the medication sent to my pharmacy. (Provider number 4) Also the medication sent was not what was agreed upon previously by Dr. Kazi. I called into the office to ask why was the medication different and prescribed differently and was told because the new provider did not know me I was only given a certain amount of anxiety medication. Re emphasizing the lack of continuity of care. Lastly, my last appointment with Mid Cities was October 2025 with Dr. Kazi. Follow up scheduled for December 2. As I unexpectedly began a new job Dec 1st my new insurance would not be effective until Jan 2026. I called to cancel the December 2 appointment. Here we are in the new year 2026. It is January 8th. I called to make an appointment and give my updated insurance. Of course no one answered the phone so I left a message. I received a return call from an assistant (Josh I believe) who said that I had been discharged from the facility as a patient for "non-adherence"and that I "should have received a discharge letter in the mail." I asked Josh what was the non-adherence and he said he would have to "look into it" and get back to me. I'm very interested in what non adherent information he will provide. Fortunately, as a nurse for the past 12 years, I keep very precise and detailed documentation. I have every receipt and document you could think of. Even my PCP appointments are recorded with AI. What a disgrace and disservice you are doing to patients and the community with your blatant lies. You may have gotten off with this with a lay person who doesn't know any better but I've got news for you today. The amount of pain and suffering you have caused me is monumental.

A little background... I was referred to Mid Cities after…read morecompleting diagnostic testing with another clinic. I attended two Telehealth sessions, mainly for medication management, roughly one month apart. My list of grievances: - I had to fill out my intake paperwork twice. They were unable to locate it after the first time. - They take payment for your session BEFOREHAND, and then were late. Both of my sessions started 30+ minutes late. MAKE SURE TO PLAN FOR THIS as other reviewers have the same complaint. I wonder why they don't charge afterwards like everyone else? Curious? - My doctor, due to an "oversight," forgot to send my prescription after the first visit. Had to play phone tag for a couple of days to get the ball rolling. - Talking on the phone with them sucks. Plan for multiple phone calls as it seems nobody knows what's going on - It is unlikely they will read your file beforehand. It is unlikely they will learn anything about you and they will not remember anything about you from your last visit. If you are someone who prefers even a modicum of personalization, this is not your place. - THEY DO DRUG TEST and THEY WILL DENY YOUR REFILLS IF YOU FAIL FOR LEGAL CANNABANOIDS. You can drink as much as you want folks, no worries there, but if you like to eat a LEGAL gummy and watch Beetlejuice every once in a while, you will be disappointed. Hopefully at some point they'll be forced to update their policies. - This may be a bit personal, but the doctor asked what I was anxious about, and it really rubbed me the wrong way. I started my session noting a death in the family. Even if you can't remember anything else, nothing from the previous session or the packet of psychiatric information that I submitted during my intake, I told you that a family member died... To ask what I'm anxious about is offensive. I think that concludes my list of grievances. All-in-all this place sucks. If it's the only place your insurance takes, ok, but, if you have a choice whatsoever, find somewhere else. This place is the definition of McHealthcare.

Dr. Faheem is very sweet, kind, and empathetic and makes sure you receive the best possible treatment every single time. The office staff are also amazing and go above and beyond every single time!

You needs are NOT there priority. I been trying for a week to get a medication refill and after I called the pharmacy for refill they have since texted me saying provider has not responded to approve refill request. And after speaking with 3 people in that office and each saying they will send this request to everyone ( whoever everyone is??) as of 4:30 today there has been zero response. The building they are in lost power, which is out of their control but they had no communications with people to cancel and reschedule appointments. It seems like total chaos and with people that have mental health issues that's the last ting we need and this happened twice. once on Friday the 12th and again on Wednesday the 17th. So this says this office is completely ill prepared to handle any negative situation to help their patients. I never received any communication as to what was going on as well as no provider looking at my rx refill request. They have. As of this writing I have had 5 calls from that office concerning my meds which tells me 1) they have zero communication even within that office and 2) no one knows what the hell to do... They have a office director named Anthony and as a DIRECTOR you should at the very least have a contingency plan to handle bad situations because life does happen, things go wrong but to have basically nothing in place to handle this stuff and have your patients as a priority, to me this is borderline negligence and possible lawsuit worthy... The only good thing at this office are e few people, spravato nurse Angie and Sheen Williams, and a couple of the office nurses and that's it...
