What Amar Arafat’s Patients Say

Hear from our patients about how Animo Sano Psychiatry has made a significant difference in their lives. Our commitment to quality care reflects in their stories of recovery and hope.

Dr. Arafat is very intelligent, listens well, and has a great way of tackling medical needs so quickly in this new day and age of medicine vs older psychiatrist within minutes. Highly recommend for anyone with ADHD, Anxiety, Major Depression, and even more. On top of that, has a different approach with holistic and behavioral methods. Pls reach out to Amar and other great physicians on Animo Sano if you are suffering from mental illness!
So far so good. They offer a free 15 minute consultation to see if the provider is a good fit. I took advantage of that, Doctor Arafat is willing to do a treatment plan for my complex ADHD which my last office did not do. They just did medication management and they didn’t even do a good job of that. I’ll follow up with another review as things progress.
Aram Arafat made my experience very comfortable and was very thorough! I regret I didn’t seek help from Amino Sano Psychiatry earlier!
