Dr. May Vang is amazing. She always creates a safe space for me to talk, and how she understands emotions and expresses suggestions is one of the most helpful things I’ve experienced.

She stays neutral, as in she won’t fuel any negative emotions you already have going into the session. Instead, she will work through them with you starting from the root cause.

Talking to my friends, they offer surface level validation, but sometimes validation can be a double edged sword that can fuel negative emotions. I could feel the difference between professional and unprofessional help when talking with May Vang. Rather than simple validation, she pulled information from my words and from there, started telling me about what I may have been experiencing, and on top of that, gave me guidance about how to process and cope with my emotions. She is very realistic as well. She catches my expectations through my speech, and if harmful to myself, will point it out and connect me back to the reality of my circumstances. It’s done in a way where it’s comforting, where I know now that my emotions of frustration with my emotions have been because I tried to overcome my emotions through repression and holding unrealistic expectations for recovery.

I felt no judgement nor scrutinization after talking to her; instead, I felt a huge burden off my shoulders—as if I had been holding my breath for so long and was finally able to breathe. In her sessions, I can sense her expertise and experience dealing with complex emotions.

Whoever is reading this and thinking of getting help, do not hesitate, even if it’s a “small thing.” I made behavioral changes that were sparked by guidance, and learned how to approach and process difficult emotions with acceptance. Complex emotions are a part of life, and it never hurts to learn about how to approach it in a healthy manner.

She is truly the epitome of a professional and exceptional doctor.

Psychiatry services are decent. Was satisfied with my treatment until recently.

Scheduling has always been a nightmare between using the portal and being unable to reach a psychiatrist directly. Upon calling I only reach a receptionist who does not seem to have access to the psychiatrist’s direct schedule. It’s a lot of back and forth from there to set up an appointment or reschedule.

Recently, I needed to meet before our scheduled time, and sent multiple messages asking to schedule. Typically, the psychiatrist or receptionist has at the very least responded in their own portal even when I didn’t express a concern. In this instance where I expressed a concern with treatment, I received no response within a week. This was moderately disappointing, and is leading me to question continuing treatment with BWI.

I came here when I was in an extremely bad place and Charles Scribner helped me immediately. He is the best and I highly recommend him. He’s cautious, caring, patient, listens and really tries to do the best of his ability to help you in any way he can. He really does have a heart and passion for his work. Thank you Brainpower for having such an outstanding psychiatric nurse.

My provider Anthony N. Has been great to work with. He does a wonderful job at meeting me where I am and prioritizing my goals. The only challenge that I’ve had is easily getting in contact with the practice or my provider- I have never been able to access the app they communicate through. Hopefully this can be resolved but it’s been a challenge for some reason.
Anthony was one of the best people I’ve had as a psychiatrist. He’s very attentive, responsive, and it never felt forced. If I was still in California I would hopefully still be seeing him. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Pavel is the best. I had switched over to him and he is the most understanding and he really takes the time to listen to my needs. He is super patient with answering any questions I have. He provides me with options and never rushes our time during sessions. I feel heard and comfortable with the decisions he recommends and I feel so supported by him. I would highly recommend him for his professionalism and kindness.

Dear Miriam,
I just wanted to take a moment to express how much of an impact you’ve had on my life. Since we started working together, I’ve noticed such a positive shift in the way I see things and how I navigate challenges. You’ve helped me develop healthier ways to cope with stress, and because of that, I feel more grounded and capable, even when life gets overwhelming.
Your guidance and support have truly been life-changing for me. You’ve given me the tools to not only manage difficult moments but also to appreciate the good ones more fully. I feel stronger, more aware, and more at peace, and I know I wouldn’t be in this place without your help.
Thank you for your patience, compassion, and unwavering encouragement. I’m so grateful for everything you’ve done for me, and I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate you.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Sylvia G

Dr Zamil is very personable, takes care of my son’s needs, and pays close attention to details. He’s worked very hard to keep my son on a minimal amount of medication while still addressing his needs. He's taken a holistic approach, looking into many other factors for my son’s health, not just medication adjustments alone. We always feel heard and well attended to. Highly recommend, as he is a Dr who truly cares for his patients.
