Shazia Zia, M.D., FAPA

"Dr Zia is an awesome doctor and person. Very down to earth and puts patient care first over money. I trust her judgement and would recommend her to anyone struggling with any type of psychiatric problems."

"I thought Dr. Zia was great at first. She has limited hours, so those of us with full-time jobs it's Challenging at times to keep an appointment. I did cancel several times,but was willing to pay the fee and reschedule. I got a new job and she said let's wait 3 months until an appointment for insurance. May 20th rolls around and I wake up with a broken tooth and a nerve exposed. The pain was intense. I called her first thing in the morning to reschedule. I had a note from the dentist as well. I called for 2 weeks with no response. Finally she had her receptionist call and say she was dropping me from the practice. I suffer from severe anxiety. She could have given me two weeks notice but didn't bother. I looked it up and with another opinion its called patient abandonment and in psychiatry a form of malpractice. I can't get into any new doctor's in two weeks and I'm almost out of medicine which could land me in a hospital. She didn't give me any notice let alone 30 days. She is not putting the patients needs first. To leave someone without a lifeline is by far one of the cruelest things a doctor can do. She took what I now call the hypocritical oath."

"Only available during office hours. No provisions for off hours care. You are directed to call 911. Not open to discussing alternative options to medications when the side effects of prescribed medications are detrimental to the patient's well being. Rather than discuss an alternative to a medication that causes suicidal ideation, impaired memory and increased risk of falling, Dr. Zia decided it was in her best interest to dismiss the patient. It's only a part-time practice."

"Careless about helping someone Thank you for not seeing me Care less for snobs"

"Dr Zia & Layla are awesome. Dr Zia is an intelligent, down to earth professional psychiatrist. Does not push medication down your throat. Great visit. Takes time. Amazing. Thank you."
