Dr. Mussarat Y Zahid, MD

shes retired

She is kind knowledgeable I empathize and treated me so well that I will never go to any other doctor God bless her with long healthy life

Dr. Zahid is wonderful, but her staff is like a circus. They have been very rude for no reason, dont know if this has something to do with the way the head office mgr runs it, but it has been awful at tmes. But is IS WORTH IT to see this wonderful doctor.

She is evil. I saw her two times because my best friend suggested I go see her. All she does is push meds and give people what they ask for. The waiting room is full of drug addicts waiting to pick up. Bottom line, my best friend is dead now and I 100% blame this doctor. She will get investigated for the doses she was prescribing to a frail young man. Rot away zihead you are pure evil.

I was always a very anti-medication person who tried to live as naturally as possible, and I was very happy with my life but I decided to try medication when menopause caused horrible physical discomfort for me. Unfortunately doctors prescribed Xanax which made the physical symptoms go away, but it also made me suicidal and I tried suicide several times. While taking those drugs I was like a suicidal "robot" -- in a drug induced fog and focused on trying commit suicide every day with no reason for doing that! It didn't make any sense, and my husband and I didn't know that Xanax was causing my suicidal thoughts and actions at the time. While being released from the hospital after my overdose attempt, the nurse gave us a referral list of doctors that I could see. That's how we found Dr. Zahid. She was conveniently located across the street from the hospital. Dr. Zahid was very friendly and gave hugs, which made me trust her but that was a huge mistake. She recklessly over… prescribed medication for me. She prescribed the same drug I had used to try to end my life. Who does that?! Then she prescribed countless related drugs that kept me suicidal. After every visit she would give me a hug, but that just made me think she was a caring person and kept me in her care longer even though I shouldn't have been seeing her. Eventually we chose a different doctor because I wasn't getting better. During my fourth suicide attempt, I actually stepped in front of a slow-moving train and received a skull fracture and shattered shoulder blade. I regained consciousness looking up at the bottom of the train as paramedics tried to get me out of there. That's how bad those medications affected me! Before doing that I had always been very afraid and respectful of the power of trains, but the influence of the medications Dr. Zahid prescribed completely took over my mind and body. I was unaware of the fact that the medications were making me sick/suicidal, and my husband was trusting the doctors for their expertise. After four suicide attempts and several doctors, we finally found one who took me off the benzodiazipine class of drugs (Xanax, Klonopin, etc.) that can cause suicidal thoughts and actions. That's when I got better and found out it was the medication and only the medication making me suicidal. I am no longer on any medication and back to my normal, happy self -- the person I was before trying prescription drugs for menopause. Needless to say I'm still very against using medication and will never see Dr. Zahid again. In my humble opinion, she is a very dangerous doctor who over prescribes medication. She also insulted me in the hospital in front of my family, and they took great offense to that. I was too medicated to be horribly insulted at the time, but I would have been very insulted if Dr. Zahid had said that to me while in my right mind (meaning unmedicated). That whole experience was the worst time of my life. I encourage all people to try to find natural ways to alleviate medical or emotional problems unless medication is the only way you can find relief and they are truly helping and not hurting you. However, please be aware that for many people prescription drugs can make someone try to commit suicide and they will have no power over them. Those medications are that strong! Even the smallest doses can do that. By the grace of God I am still alive today. Perhaps he wants me to share my story to help others. I hope this information will save many lives. (I would give Dr. Zahid a zero overall rating if that were possible.)

Twice, the office messed up my appointment. Twice I had to talk to her on the phone, she tells me one thing then doesn't prescribe what I was told, I have to call back, she says she never prescribed that. She is getting dementia or Alzheimer's and the staff is just downright rude!

I think she prescribes too much medication that doesn't help solve the problem.

The wait time was way too long. Medicines prescribed were the exactly the same medication as our family doctor prescribed. Not much of any help to us.

she is the most caring and understanding dr I have seen
