I was referred here by my GP. I had no idea who Dr Qusai Hussain was. Not once did he make eye contact with me, instead, his eyes were fixated on the rest of my body...disgusting...

I agree with the below review, Dr Karla Lopez has some serious issues. I think she needs to resolve them first before attempting at patient treatment. I really feel tereible after seeing her.

I took my poor niece here, Dr Hussain opened up to her about his past issues that included having suffered from a Borderline Personality Disorder and has asked her very, very inappropriate questions. This man is not professional at all! My niece cried for a whole week and has lost so much weight since. We can't convince her, and are in fact fearful of taking her to a new therapist. The whole family has been having a break down after this. The response below apparently comes from the owner. Dr Hussain, who to the best of our knowledge has been the director, was contacted several times and all we

I have been visiting Dr Hussain for past couple of years and he's been excellent in not only succinctly assessing cause of issues but provided solid advice on how to handle. Whilst it does take quite awhile to embrace new thought patterns, his assistance and advice has been a life saver for me and am fortunate to have found his practice. I recommend him for any personal issues anyone is facing in order to improve quality of life and get the best out of it! Adrienne Farrelly
