Sabira Saifuddin MD, Psychiatrist in Westlake Village

"I was a patient of Dr. Saifuddin for a while in 2018. I had been strugging with deep depression and she was the first doctor I consulted. At the first appt she directed me to purchase $100+ of her supplements that she sold out of her office, saying that this is where we should start. After several months of taking her vitamins, I saw no difference (in fact I got worse) and so she decided to try me on an antidepressant called "Pristiq". After one week of taking the drug (which made me very nauseous), I began having psychotic episodes. I called Sabira and she told me it was normal in the beginning and to keep taking the medication. A few days later, having gotten much worse than I was before the medication, I was so overwhelmed I attempted suicide. Luckily this failed and I was able to calm down from the episode. Once I was lucid I called Sabira and told her what happened and she very dryly told me to just stop taking the medication. I never heard from her again- she didn't check in or express any concern. After this experience I saw another doctor who correctly diagnosed me with bipolar II and started me on a life-saving medication that I've been on since. I've never had problems with depression since. Sabira is a quack and has no compassion- she should not be in the medical profession. I hope this helps someone."

"Dustin K The moment you walk into the Doctor's Office, your whole being is lifted to a place of Recovery ,Carity. enlightenment I encourage anyone who wants to feel better to experience refreshingly wonderful environment & novel treatment approaches they offer."

"This doctor doesn't care about their patients, and forces the patients to go to a pharmacy out of their way to have prescriptions filled because they "don't call in prior authorizations". They tried to pass it on to the pharmacy, but a pharmacy cannot authorize schedule 2 drugs. They may be good for some patients with different insurance, but beware if you're under Medi-Cal/Gold Coast (contracted through Beacon Health). After being out of my prescription for a few days, they still refused to call in the prior authorization. They finally did today. To force patients to only go to one pharmacy, it seems that they're getting some kind of kickbacks for this arrangement, and if this is the case, it's against Federal Law."
