My sister has prescribed medicine for her mental state by this doctor and the medication wasn't working, she was out of control! I took her to vista to have her admitted to get her medicine straightened out because her follow up appt was 2 weeks away and she was so messed up she couldn't even work because the medicine he prescribed made her worse then before! Well he didn't bother even trying to get her medicine right, instead he sent her home telling her to just cont. take the med that he has prescribed and keep her appt.. I have never heard of a doctor ignoring a patient the way he did, we have been going through all kinds of problems with my sisters mental state since he has prescribed her medicine that's not working and he seems he could careless about getting it right! If there was some way I could report his actions, I would, just can't believed whats wrong with this doctor!

Dr. Hudefi has been a good doctor in many ways, but when there is a Major issue and you need to make contact or get a follow up especially when trying new medications, it is impossible. When a new medication is being tried an appointment should be able to be made as soon as a week, not 3 or 4, until the correct medication is found. His bedside manner is really good, and when you can see him he is good, but long term patients need stability from their Dr.and do not need to feel like they cannot get help when it is needed.

Dr. Hudefi is kind, caring, and compassionate. The best psychiatrist I have ever had. His office staff, however, leave much to be desired. Never return phone calls, have to be nagged to take care of refilling meds, etc.

Dr. Hudefi is the only psychiatrist that I have been to that genuinely seems to care. He makes every effort to treat and help you. I would recommend him to anyone, as a matter of fact I have reccomended him to family members. I trust this man with my life!

i went to several psychiatrists before dr.hudefi and none treated me with the same respect and kindness as dr.hudefi. He made me feel at ease at all times and i was comfortable talking to him about my life, which was new for me. I highly recommend him to anyone.
