“I booked Dr. Basith for my little brother. My brother was previously quite disillusioned with mental health care because of a previous psychiatrist he had (who he felt like was very quick to just throw medications at him without analyzing his individual situation). It was really a challenge to get him to try psychiatry again. Dr. Basith has completely changed my brother's attitude towards psychiatrists -- he really takes his time to learn about my brother and thoughtfully address his questions and concerns. He makes my brother feel confident about his care plan. My brother trusts him and his capabilities. My brother says, "I'm actually mad thankful to you for putting me onto this psychiatrist. He is genuinely good at his job, bro". ”
