Dr. Erum Shahab, MD

I recently moved to Connecticut and was dreading having to find a new psychiatrist. So often there is very little listening or communication. I was blessed to have found Dr. Shahab. By far she is the most compassionate and empathetic psychiatrist I have had. I've had a difficult time with my meds recently and she researched a great alternative for me. She also pointed out that it might be time to get back into therapy and researched for the one that might be best for me. Overall, I have nothing to say but positive things for Dr. Shahab as well as the front-office team! thanks

She's great, she is so sweet and makes you feel very comfortable. I find her very knowledgeable on what she is talking about. She really looks out for your best interest when it comes to medication. The medication refill line is not so great. I feel like I have to call them a ton of times to request for my meds to be filled. There is a long wait before you see her but I feel like that is anywhere. Expect to sometimes be there 10 mins after your time of appointment.

After attending CT Behavioral Health as one of Dr. Shahab's patients I am truly flabbergasted by all the negative feedback she has received on various sites, She is one of the nicest, most down to earth doctors I have ever encountered in my life. Dr. Shahab has treated me with nothing but the upmost respect from the very minute that I walked into her office. She didn't judge me or approach me with any preconceived notions as most doctors who treat addicts likely do. Her staff is top notch and just as respectful as the doctor. They really go the extra mile and really want nothing more than to see you progress and succeed. I am so glad that I did not 'judge a book by it's cover" and pass up treatment at this facility based on the horrible things I've read on these doctor review websites. All I can say is that if you're a potential patient considering choosing Connecticut Behavioral Health, do not form an opinion based on the reviews you may have read on doctor review sites because they're not even remotely close to the truth. I challenge you to think for yourself and give Dr. Shahab a honest try. What's the worst that can happen? Just be completely honest with her (she really respects honesty, plus she's been in the business long enough to spot BS from a mile away) and I can guarantee that amazing woman will do everything in her power to help you. I am living proof, and I'm proud to not only call Dr. Shahab my doctor, but also to consider her a friend who genuinely cares about my future. I know this may sound corny, but in my heart I believe this doctor has saved my life from reaching the point of no return.
