Samir is the kindest, most attentive healthcare professional I’ve had the pleasure of working with. He clearly cares very deeply about helping with my health improvements. It’s amazing that he remembers what I’ve told him in past appointments and asks insightful questions to understand my situation better. He’s a genuine pleasure to work with, I’d highly recommend him for anyone who’s looking for an extremely helpful and professional provider.

The stars have aligned and I got lucky working with Dr Samir Hamid. To say that he’s a lifesaver would be an understatement, I can’t put into words how wonderful and compassionate he is, from the get go he listened to me carefully, never pushed anything on me, he’s so gentle in his approach but powerful with his practice, I’m a completely different person now, going from a beaten up, bone marrow transplant patient with PTSD, panic disorder to working full time and actually enjoying my life.

Thank you Hamid for saving my life, and for showing me that getting better was possible, thank you for your generosity and for your efforts, I’m a better man today and I’m looking forward to the future, thanks to you.

I highly recommend Samir Hamid to anyone seeking to improve their mental health and life, Samir Hamid actually listens, if you’ve cycled between different providers and felt like you were being treated as a mere number and not being heard, then Samir will change that for you and he will restore your faith I promise, as he has done for me.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars, but I hope I did so in my honest review.

Thank you so much Hamid, you’ve saved my life and I’m looking forward to more improvements.

He is someone that is kind, professional, and personable, and I could not be any happier with my experience here! Highly recommended to anyone that is looking for help 🙂

Samir is amazing at his craft. He genuinely cares for his patients, and he takes his time as well, allowing you to really voice your situation and how you feel. With his amazing bed side manners, his knowledge about medication, he was able to get me on the best medication management plan suited for me.

02:41 07 Mar 25
Samir is absolutely amazing! He really listens to what you have to say and provides his recommendations for medications that will help! At the same time, he listens to your wants/needs about staying away from certain types of medications due to the negative effects they have on you! Highly recommend him!!!
