Zaurov Psychiatry, PC

"Here's the kind of guy Michael is. I was part of an online group Michael was also involved in. Reaching out to him to seek guidance on approaches to address some unresolved mental trauma, Michael happily greed to meet (for no charge) online. Michael recognised my financial situation and went above and beyond to provide multiple sessions (2 hours long each) for free out of his spare time, just because he could. Because he has a big heart. In these sessions he worked with a caring, intelligent and personable demeanour. You instantly feel at ease in Michael's presence, and there's no doubt he knows his stuff. One thing I'd absolutely condone him on is his strong listening skills. During tender and challenging processes that may sometimes tap into deeply rooted trauma, it can be easy to get lost in the weeds. Unclear, confused and dismayed. But then to have them rehashed to you in a clear, compassionate and understanding manner that does not whatsoever alienate you and only seeks to resolve more deeply is sometimes quite alarming. It's like - wow, this guy really cares, and is ruthlessly willing to support you to the depths of resolution. As far as outcomes from working with him, Michael gave me tools that go well beneath the superficial layers of resolving challenges. In my experience, I've been practicing deep meditation techniques for years - yet something felt missing. I was overlooking and resisting aspects of my experience. Michael helped me reconnect to these repressed areas, integrate them and understand them. Straight away, I noticed my demeanour shift as I took the techniques out into daily life. I could quickly notice more connectedness with my family and with myself. It was like parts I had been denying were finally having a voice which went to the level of the body and was very grounding and reassuring. I found myself being sort of shocked at how effective the techniques introduced were. Couldn't recommend him more!"

"Michael is a very valuable addition to our community’s mental health care providers. He is very easy to talk to, he pays close attention. Every single visit is worthwhile and he was able to help me get the care I’ve needed for so many years that I just couldn’t get from my pcp. He knows his meds and doesn’t prescribe off the cuff. If you need medication for your mental health- seeing a specially trained provider such as Michael will make all the difference."

"I was very nervous when my PNP retired. I was with her from the beginning of my diagnoses (over 10 years) until her retirement a year ago. Michael understood and was very patient with me. We discussed some changes with treatment that I was at first scared of. Changed is difficult for me. With his patients and calming demeanour I was will to try. Best thing ever! I am very grateful to Linda for referring me to Michael!"

"I am a colleague of Michael. I have found him to be very up to date on his knowledge of meds and therapeutic techniques. He is kind and patients love him. I would send my family to him if they need help. What is unique is that he doesn't just give them what they want if the meds are harmful. That is rare in psychiatry. He prescribes with conscience but also works with them gradually to carefully to get off of inappropriate medications on to more effective medications for the long term. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone wanting responsible caring medication management."

"Michael Zaurov is an astute, intelligent, and caring practitioner. He provides excellent service when it comes to coordinating prescriptions between other doctors, my pharmacy, and my insurance plan. He always takes the time to listen carefully, and goes the extra mile in providing helpful advice. His assistant is very friendly, patient, and helpful. I highly recommend."
