Jonathan Kaminar and staff are absolutely wonderful here. The convenience of virtual visits has been super beneficial for me having young kiddos, and still being able to get some help. I’m very grateful I found this place. From scheduling to in person or virtual visits everything has been great. I also found a lot of comfort in being able to message someone here outside of regular business hours and promptly getting a response. for somebody with anxiety and depression. This was extremely helpful.
Val Keen
I don’t usually leave a review but I am extremely grateful for their excellent service that I feel like this might help someone decide to start care with this great group of clinicians. They are extremely prompt and professional with their responses, from the beginning to the end of our relationship my care has been smooth. I had a small difficulty logging initially but they helped me through it and made no fuss about it. After that the follow ups were a breeze. The links were sent to me via texts and I was able to directly video chat with my provider w/o issues. And I recently moved to a different state, and they were so helpful in transferring my documents over to my new doctor without interruption in my care. In our fragmented and unnecessarily complicated health care system, this is a fresh of breath air.

Dr Zia is a very empathic and learned doctor. Had a chance to meet her with a close relative of mine, the way she handled the problem is really commendable. Staff was also very cooperative and forth coming. Highly recommended health facility. As I am a doctor myself so really impressed by the set up. 👍

Dr. Zia and her team are wonderfully caring people. They will go above and beyond to help you recover from whatever is ailing you. They are genuine, compassionate and caring, plus they are on the cutting edge of technology when it comes to services that help their clients. I've dealt with treatment resistant depression for decades and Dr. Zia and her staff helped me.

Excel team is not like any other doctor's office where you have to wait for hours to even get in touch with the Dr. Dr . Zia uses a portal through which you can communicate with them and get matters resolved quickly. I love that their team is so efficient in everything that they do and i love the portal they use because it is so much easier and efficient. Dr. Zia evaluations have shown tremendous positive effect on my mental as well as emotional health. She also provides advanced treatment for depression and anxiety. Thank you excel psychiatry :)
Afnan Shah
Dr. Zia and team are amazing. They have amazing communication and accommodate you as per your needs. Dr. Zia also offers in office TMS treatment which is an advance level of care for depression and anxiety and it definitely works. I know many people have their doubts and don’t know about TMS but let me tell you it works, just have to take that first step and everything seems to fall in place. They are really easy to talk to and will help you out in every way they can and sometimes go out of their way to help and care for your needs. I would definitely recommend excel psychiatry because the whole team is wonderful.
