I saw Dr Abdel-Kader a while back and have been pretty satisfied with having her as my doctor…read more She is professional, knowledgeable and gentle in her approach. There were a couple of times when I needed to ask her questions over the phone about possible interactions of her prescription with other medication and she has always been very prompt with returning calls and providing the required information. She has also been gentle and empathetic yet firm and encouraging in discussing issues during office visits. The practice has therapists as well, whom I have not used - Dr. Kader was able to suggest a therapist closer to my home and save me the long ride. The ladies at the office have always been nice, professional and good about scheduling follow up visits as per my convenience. When inclement weather caused them to cancel one of my visits they were pretty good about accommodating me in the schedule within a day - perhaps this is something all doctors do, nevertheless I thought it pretty efficient. At the first visit and one time at a follow up visit (which is scheduled for 15mins) I sensed she was glancing at the clock, which is a bit disconcerting given that a patient in a psychiatrists office is in an emotionally vulnerable place to start with and would like to have the time he/she needs to explain their situation - especially in the first visit. Having said that though I also have to say that Dr. Abdel-Kader is very polite and nice and does not really hurry you up. I have always found her to be pleasant, professional, respectful and supportive. In all I am really glad to have found Dr. Abdel-Kader and am thankful she is my doctor.

My drinking was out of control and my wife even had a restraining order served on me requiring me to move out while we Both received therapy. There were numerous problems in my relationship with my wife and, with Cyndi's gentle guidance, my wife and I addressed these and we both were able to eventually return to a responsible relationship with alcohol. I haven't met all of the therapists at Cyndi's practice but, with her as the Clinical Director, I'm sure they are all well versed in this new approach to Alcohol Moderation. I once said, "I can't imagine the rest of my life without alcohol." I would likely not have begun therapy if I believed total abstinence was the only choice. Now, I actually find abstinence to be the easier choice. , Thank you, Cyndi and Insight into Action Therapy. You have taken a courageous approach in treating "Drinking Problems" and I'm sure your moderation approach will appeal to many more than an Abstinence-Only approach would...it did for me and my family. Still married, Even happier.
