Dr. Shefa Rahman

"Very good doctor, quick and to the point which I prefer. Though, it would have been nice to be able to speak with him directly a bit more. I can tell he read my chart and gave it real thought based on several things he said. His first round of suggested medications based on my history/chart/conversation ended up being my final as well and got me to a stable enough point to continue my treatment in out patient. To those who may get him at this facility I would just try and keep in mind he’s likely overworked like every other doctor in existence. To properly communicate with him is to do it through the nurses. Advocate for yourself with them and they can help make sure it gets to him."

"Would give this Dr. negative stars if possible. He definitely should not be working in an inpatient facility. When people are at their breaking point the last thing they need is an extremely rude, insensitive, psych with horrible bedside manner tending to them. Every person I talked to that had this Dr. at Springwoods put in a request for another psych. He was hated by the patients and the staff didn't like him either. I've never heard anything good attached to his name."

"Spends less than 2 minutes with his patients each session. Prescribed the wrong dosages for my medications. I felt like an insurance number on a page to this physician."
