Mohamed A. Elrafei's Online Review Report Card

0 stars. 10 years later and 15-20 medications including anti-anxiety medications, mood stabilizers and anti-psychotic medications I fell 1000% on my own without psychiatric medications. I have a B.A. in Psychology from The College of New Jersey and some Master’s of Social Work studies completed. I have come to learn that mental illness is what you make of it.

Dr El Rafei is a compassionate and caring psychiatrist. As a patient who takes Clozaril I am confident he is on top of the meds. While a good talker he is not a psycho therapist and I am confident he knows where to draw theliinte.

Had weight issues with him on Abilify injection.

Dr. Elrafei's professionalism and IMPRESSIVE experience never cease to amaze. I've been going to him for 12 years, and he never stops caring. I've seen some reviews that say his wait time is long... but let me tell you why. He gives each and every patient the time they deserve. He's not one of these doctors that rush you out because he's not making as much money on you versus other patients. Not only that!, he's overbooked because he's so high in demand. He's a straight shooter, and won't give you more medication than you need just for money. He's the psychiatrist that will fit you in last minute if you need him, personally call you back if you need him, and will give you the push you need when you want to drown in meds or sleep. He even has therapists in his office to help give well rounded care. So guess what? I'll wait 2 hours because I know he cares and won't rush me out of his office.

Dr. Elrafie is one of the most compassionate doctors I have ever met. First he came to see my father in the hospital and evaluate him, he finished his work and then.... He bent down and changed my father's shoes, putting them on the right feet....I had't even noticed. His kindness, caring and humanity is a light to us all.

I showed up 15 minutes early with all my papers filled out. They made me pay before the appointment. 75 minutes later and I’m still in the waiting room. I asked the receptionist if I was going to see the Dr soon. She said Dr Elrafei “showed up pretty late today” and still had patients to see before me. I asked for a refund and went home. How do you not tell your client when they walk in the door that they’ll be waiting 2+ hours after their appointment?? Left the office crying. Terrible people

The Dr. has always treated my elderly Mom with compassion and excellent medical treatment. I am shocked by some of the negative reviews i see here. He has enabled my 90 yr old Mom to remain "present" in our lives, for the past 3 years. Yes you will have to wait sometimes- 1 hour beyond your appointment. But he always takes care of the patient at hand. He's worth the wait

Worst experience in my life. I took my mom to see him, we waited 2 hours and when he came he kept taking in people he knew before us. Then we finally entered, he didn't seem to know the problem with my mom, he started looking on Wikipedia for disorders. When I saw this, I was very upset, I handed him other diganosis reports from other doc about her case then he said ok I know what she has and started walking us to the door. I told him are you not going to give us a report of what she has and what medications she should take. He said oh yes and he sat back again on his test and printed a report for me then walked us out and charged us. When I looked at the report i felt as if I were cheated. He wrote the same diganosis on her previous reports from other doctors and same medications, he only said to increase the dosage of the medication. I will never go back again. If you are planning to listen to an unexperienced doctor that doesn't know what he's doing then he's the one.

Never quite hit it off with this Dr. Today I was thrown out of his office and from making any appts with other Drs in his practice. Reason: I did not like his attitude in Dec. about me needing personal FMLA because of stress. I had documentation showing my mom being in a hospital over the holidays and proceeded to show him proof...apparently, he didn't like this. If you are prepared to be a bobble head and take meds he wants to prescribe, then go see him. If not, don't waste you're time! By the way, had to give him 1 star or I could not post.

Saved my son's life after many years of going to uncaring, unprofessional psych. Highly recommend.
