Sana Qureshi's Online Review Report Card

Great easy to talk to very warm knowledgeable- as a patient and a professional it's sad that patients write bad reviews when they cannot get controlled prescriptions from Providers anymore

Waste of Time Doctor Sana Qureshi treated her patient and patient's family with undeserved rudeness and unprofessionalism, dismissed opportunity to learn from the very best and seasoned doctors and researchers in her field, publicly displayed contempt to her own staff, and severely delayed her patient's recovery.

She made me a lot happier and stronger.

Irresponsible and no compassion I saw Dr. Qureshi in the summer of 2020 only once. I was 19 years old and in my very first appointment (which felt rushed and uncomfortable) she recommended I do electro shock therapy for my depression. She barely got to know me and my mental health conditions in detail and had the confidence to say that. At the time, I was desperate but knew I should definitely not trust one doctor’s recommendation and I never went back to see her or went through with the treatment. Thinking back, I cannot image how irresponsible that recommendation was and how it could have severely impacted me and my life. My therapist at the time who knew her could not believe it when I told her. I’m still in shock she even recommended that and all I have to say is AVOID THIS DOCTOR.

Dr. Quereshi appears to lack empathy and compassion towards her patients. My adult son was her patient. I am his proxy. It seems that she abuses her authority and control. She has not once returned a phone call or made any contact with me. In my search for her private practice phone number I apparently found her personal cell phone number. I received a call from nurse attempting to determine how I acquire the number. I felt supported by her colleagues in filing a complaint. In reading her reviews on here and other sites it appears that her lack of professional is consistent. In my opinion I do not feel that Dr. Quereshi should be working with patients and families of those that have drug or mental health issues. Her abuse of power accompanied with her lack of compassion and empathy can be detrimental to the trust and recovery process of her patients.

I am only giving her four stars even though she was six stars to us. Why the four stars? Because her directness might rub some the wrong way; some can’t handle that, and her help may backfire due to such a clash. She shoots from the hip. But she was always very cordial, kind and professional with me. And I’ve seen her be very sweet with her elderly patients, so perhaps she is more blunt with younger patients. Arguably the most knowledgeable physician about the latest meds and research, which is even more critical with the more opaque science of psychiatry. And she is willing to share that info and explain it in layman’s terms, unlike most old school psychiatrists who can be offended if you ask questions. Mercy Hospital was stupid for letting her get away.

I dont know how she got 5 star reviews, I read all the 1 star reviews and agree. My loved one and myself were treated with disrespect and her arrogance. Whoever that 5 star doctor was , work on getting back there. Mental illness is serious and dealing with it everyday takes a toll, I hope she gets the help she needs to get 5 stars again.

If you read the 1 star reviews below - read them with a pinch of salt. Dr. Qureshi was a fantastic psychiatrist while at Mercy and had the misfortune of relocating at the heigh of the pandemic lockdown. Due to this she was unable to see her patients at Mercy an longer - like myself. This meant no meds from her (after her final 60 day prescription) and finding a new psychiatrist - not the end of the world here people. She is the best at her job and I wouldn’t want to spill my deep dark secrets to anyone else. Yes she is intelligent, yes she doesn’t beat around the bush, yes she will hurt your feelings - if you’re the kind of person that allow her to. I would recommend her to anyone in need of psychiatric help.

1 star. Actually. Zero stars. Terrible bedside manner. Not compassionate. She definitely is highly intelligent and I would reccomend she takes up work in an academic or research field as she will have less contact with people. I think she should not be a psychiatrist. She left me without care in a time of need. Would not return or answer calls. In the beginning she did as she gave me her personal number and said I can call in times of need. In times of need I called. The one time that I was truly having an emergency she hung up the phone and blocked my number both on WhatsApp and regular call and text. Her secretaries were unkind and unhelpful. They probably only cared about clocking in and out and making a salary. When she moved from Mercy Hospital to Tamarac she refused to be contacted. The office, not her, recommended a Dr Callahan. He was very kind and helpful and highly competent and professional. As for her. I wouldn't even allow her to care for a pet rock.

Terrible arrogant doctor, she needs to see a psychiatrist herself !
