Dr. S has been a significant factor in my success in tackling AUD. In my first year of seeing her, she helped me experiment to find the right set of meds that helped my anxiety, depression and even nightmares, which were all major contributors to my addictive behavior. She has been open to ideas that I have brought to the table to discuss as alternate treatments or methodologies. And she has taken an active interest in my family and how they have participated with me on this journey to recovery.

Dr. Saifuddin has been my rock during these challenging times. She is a brilliant doctor with the demeanor of a close friend. Her compassion and lack of judgment make me feel like I’m in a safe place to reveal what is troubling me. Dr. S genuinely cares about her patients. Every time we speak, I know she’s actively listening to me. She takes copious notes and gives you her full undivided attention. Her staff is caring and supportive whenever I interact with them. And, I don’t know what I would do without Allyson Bell, my amazing therapist. She is so easy to talk with and helps me weather whatever life throws my way. She teaches me coping skills and how to build my self-esteem back up again. If you’re looking for a psychiatrist who provides you with what you need and treats you with respect, look no further than Dr. Saifuddin. Among her professional staff to her therapists, you will feel like you’ve finally found the solutions in conquering even your biggest challenges.

Dr. Saifuddin has been one of the best psychiatrists to have treated me in the past few years. I suffer from anxiety and see her once every 2 months. She is a courteous listener and is very thorough with her advice. I feel very comfortable in her office and her staff are very pleasant. I highly recommend her for new patients and continue to appreciate her devotion to psychiatry. Sincerely, Vicki Witcher

My experience here has been only positive. They have a friendly efficient and helpful front office staff. The doctor and nurse practioners are very knowledgeable, kind, experienced, caring, and constructive. They are the best team I have seen through all the years of my medical care in this field. They listen and provide the best one-on-one treatment that I've received. I feel confident in referring them to anyone who is in need of the many therapeutic services they provide. I have been seeing them for approximately three years, and I have always had a great experience. Their in-office atmosphere is serene and peaceful. It's a nice, enjoyable calming energy that you get within the office and with the staff and medical personnel. I highly recommend them from many years of personalized experience.

From the moment I called to set up my first appointment I have had the best feeling. Everyone in the office is very kind and warm. I always feel welcomed when I arrive for my appointment. My doctor is very understanding and I never have felt judged or questioned. I can truly tell her anything and everything. The office receptionists are amazing too, they are very helpful and give you all the information you ask for. I have been a patient for over a year now and can solidly say they stay true and humble all the time. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

I have been seeing Dr. Saifuddin for the past year and have had a great experience. She is very knowledgeable in her field and has great bedside manner. Even though I only see her once a month, she makes it a point to check in on things/events in my life that we've talked about; even unrelated to therapy. I went to her with severe depression and while I can't say that I am 100%; I am no where near the same person I was when I first started seeing her. She isn't the doctor who is just going to talk to you for 5 minutes and then throw a plethora of medication your way. She takes the time to get to the root of the problem, then clearly explains the medication and why she thinks it may work. My only complaint is that the office doesn't accept my insurance (Blue Shield). However, you really can't put a price on your mental wellness.

Very great office and staff that always put the patient first to make sure they get the best service. The office itself is a calm environment, and the staff is equally as relaxed. After being here for 6 years and having seen most of the doctors at least once, I can say that all of them have been wonderful and incredibly inviting to talk with. Not a single negative experience with any of the staff at all. I highly recommend this place to go to for every service they provide.

Helpful and timely getting into for appointments. Other practices I tried booked too far out for patients who are having relatively immediate needs (not talking about emergency psychiatric, just not having to wait several weeks for an appointment). Quickly addressed the issues I was having and came up with a care plan.

I can’t recommend this group enough. Dr. Sabira Saifuddin is so attentive, kind, and thorough. She is the best psychiatrist I’ve ever had. She referred me to Alison Forster, LMFT for therapy in this same group and low and behold, she is wonderful too! What a fabulous group of caring and smart, and talented woman.

I have been a patient with Dr. Saifuddin for more than 3 years. I met her while a patient in rehab and she has help me get through my problems with addiction. The staff when going through my hard times was able to work with me and understand my issues. I now love to walk in and see them to show my improvement . I’ve also worked with multiple nurse practitioners there and I love all of them. Allison has been my therapist in and out of my different life motions and she is very understanding of many problems and a lovely woman and friend. I was lucky to be introduced to this practice I have worked with almost everyone in there and have had a good experience. My psychiatrist before this was horrible and I would have to wait for sometimes hours this compared goes by really fast.

After seeing several Child Psychiatrists in Los Angles that we're not a fit, I was beyond thrilled to meet Sabira Saifuddin MD. To Start her office is immaculate and calming, her office staff polite and efficient and No wait time at all! Dr Saifuddin was extremely knowledgeable in the areas of autism and OCD as well as up to date on the newest medicines and interventions. I strongly reckoned her practice to anyone who has a child with a neurological disorder and whom is sneed of an honest and extremely knowledgeable Psychiatrist.
