I am so very thankful for Dr. Tabatabai. He goes above and beyond his profession to assure I am safe, healthy and happy. I went through some very dark times and if it wasn't for Dr. T and his most wonderful staff at Vine Street Clinic, I wouldn't be here today. I feel so cared for and comfortable with all their professional staff. They treat you with the utmost care and compassion. I can't say enough great things about Dr. T, Dr. Connie, Maureen and all the staff. I thank them from the bottom of my heart for all they have done for me.

Dr. Tabatabai is a wonderful, caring, compassionate, knowledgeable doctor. His demeanor is never condescending, in fact, he is very encouraging. He takes the time to listen to me, never rushing me to get to the next client. I highly recommend him as a psychiatrist.

I've been a patient of Dr. Tabatabai's for a few years and cannot say enough about his skill, patience, and caring. He's extremely thorough and always explains lab results, medication changes, and counseling suggestions. He's a busy doctor who is in great demand so if you don't have an emergency, it's worth the wait to schedule an appointment.

Never wante to go to a "shrink" as many people refer. In part you feel like open book to someone you just saw. But I add that he didn't prod me with any previous history, but I would give him any questions that he might ask because after first visit, he gained my trustfulness and am looking forward to future visits with him.

I love Dr. Tabatabai! He is very caring, compassionate, and intelligent! I have been a patient of his for four years now and although I have been hospitalized, he never expresses displeasure. He works with me to find the right dosages and combinations of medication that I need to get me back on my feet. I have had different doctors over the years and I thank God for directing my path to Dr. Tabatabai. I recommend him to every one!
