I saw Dr. Firdous one time and never want to see her again. Having never met me, she took me to her office, said little, looked at my file, wrote me a prescription for something I was already taking and practically threw me out of her office. She never smiled and it seemed as if she really hates her job. Stay away from her!

She is the worst psychiatrist/ I've ever met and I've met a lot of bad people throughout my life and I'm telling you so not waste your money to make a visit to see her. All she does is push, especially, controlled substances!! She does not take the time to listen too me. She treats me disrespectfully, interrupts me, if I say something she doesn't agree with she then accuses me of arguing with me, which then makes me not trust her and makes me feel very uncomfortable and not feel like I can get my feelings out!!! She needs to loose her license to practice!! So people let's get together and make a petition to get Dr. Shebanna's license suspended and to get her out of the practice!! She is harmful.

One of the worst psychiatrists I've seen. Comes across very abruptly which gives the perception that she does not care or listen she is just dictating instructions. They are almost always behind so be prepared to wait for your terse, cold session.

(continued) vomiting, and diarrhea. Severe cases may result in coma and even death. Please do not go to her. Once my friend was experiencing these interactions, she had to go to the hospital. Dr. Firdous was not available because she was out of the country and her staff was of no help. they told my friend she had to wait until she came back to be seen...

Horrible Doctor! Please save yourself the trouble and time! She is by far, the worst Doctor I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Unfortunately she is one of the only doctors that prescribe my medication so I have no choice but to deal with her once a month but I feel horrible after each and every visit. They change appointments last minute, she leaves for Pakistan every month it seems and she couldn't care less about my health.

Dr. Furdous took the time to listen to my mental health history. She was very thoughtful and transparent in her assessment of me and the treatment plan she suggested.
