His patients have excellent experiences with him, one stating, “Dr. Asad is an intelligent and knowledgeable Psychiatrist. He is often slammed with patients, being one of the few Medicaid psychiatrists in the area, but he knows his medicine. He is not a Therapist or a Psychologist, so do not expect him to ask you about your childhood. He did ask that I pay regular visits to a Psychologist as well as him. My appointments were quick, but I got the correct medication and his staff was always available when I needed them.”

Psychiatrists can order diagnostic laboratory tests, prescribe medications, provide psychotherapy, evaluate and treat psychological and interpersonal problems, and give continuing care for psychiatric problems. Psychiatrists are also prepared to intervene with individuals and families who are experiencing a crisis or dealing with great stress. Psychiatrists may also act as consultants to primary care physicians, or to non-physicians such as psychologists, social workers and nurses.
