Dr. Okusami is the best doctor we have had in last 20 years. He is professional, caring, intelligent, pays attentions to details, and the most important, he put a patient's interest/benefit as his top priority. He is a man of integrity whom you can trust.He saved my life from trash, saved my family life also. He is responsible when the situation is urgent. I was hospitalized, the medicine prescribed by the hospital doctor gave me strong side effects which the hospital doctor did not care. Dr. Okusami patiently and intelligently helped me get out the dangerous situation, mhelp me recovered very well in short time. He never pushed for payment even my insurance dropped him. I asked him fo rbill which I will be happy to pay from my own pocket, he is even reluctant to give me a bill. Most doctors are very greedy, but Dr. Okasumi cares more about my health. I am sure he is the best. Unfortunately, he moved. Fortunately, he still provide cares to me. THANK YOU, Dr. OKUSAMI!WZ

I was a patient of Dr. Okusami's for 7.5 years. He was always professional, yet relaxed. Very easy to talk to. Never rushed. Never pushed for payment. I brought my siblings to see him and they loved him too. Can't find a replacement for him in the area. May have to make a trip out to see him.

I began seeing Dr. Okusami soon after I was diagnosed with Lupus. He has been an excellent psychiatrist and has masterfully assisted me in dealing with my diagnosis. Through many pitfalls and challenges that life has handed me, he has always been there as a reassuring presence. He's a great listener but also very wise and can deliver for you a clever point-of-view that you may have not noticed yet. He has a wonderful demeanor and a great sense of humor. I find that when you're in therapy, it is a very positive experience to have a good laugh every now and again. Truly cannot say enough about how I feel about this doctor. I know that my life and psychological health is the better just for knowing him. Strongly recommended.

Encyclopedic knowledge of drugs and drug interactions; actually listens to patients; grounded in best social and moral values. What's not to like?
