Perfect Balance Psychiatric Services

I was a loyal patient of Dr. Siddiki for about ten years, and I never imagined I would reach a point where I felt so unheard, dismissed, and pushed aside by someone I trusted with my mental health. Over the last couple of years, she kept reducing my anxiety medication again and again, even though I kept telling her I was struggling. By the time of my last appointment, I was down to about one-eighth of the dosage I had originally been on—already barely getting by—and she still insisted on cutting it further. I went into that appointment genuinely anxious and worried, and instead of feeling supported, I felt pressured and talked over. I tried to say I wasn’t comfortable going any lower, but it was like my concerns didn’t matter. I also wasn’t prepared to have a medical student sitting in the room taking notes, which made me feel even more exposed and uncomfortable. The whole interaction left me feeling small, dismissed, and unheard. After the appointment, I called the office twice to ask if she could please put me back on the amount that had at least been manageable for me. Both times I was told no—that I ‘needed to try’ the new plan—even though I had already tried doing what she asked and had been struggling. It felt like my actual lived experience, my anxiety, and my voice didn’t count at all in her decision-making. What hurt even more is that I had invested so much time and trust in this practice. I even completed 36 sessions of TMS therapy there over the summer, which brought in a significant amount of business. I wasn’t expecting special treatment because of that—but I was expecting basic respect and a willingness to listen. Instead, I felt judged, especially when she implied that because I’m not currently working, I somehow don’t ‘need’ the medication that has helped me function. That felt incredibly condescending and out of touch with what I’ve actually been going through. I eventually made the difficult decision to switch to a new psychiatrist, and the difference has been immediate and validating. I finally feel heard again. I finally feel like my input matters. I’m sharing this because my experience with Dr. Siddiki genuinely hurt me after so many years of loyalty, and I hope others know that if they feel unheard in their care, they deserve better too.

Dr. Lubna Siddiki seems more focused on money than the care of her patients. Immediately after my wife started going to her dr Siddiki started pushing TMS therapy which is extremely expensive even after the insurance coverage. In our case would result in $35 daily for 6 weeks. We are retired and on a fixed social security income, we could not afford it and we told her so. After several months she realized it was not going to happen and she pass my wife to another dr. Being rude and not even looking at us. She also decided to start charging us an additional $10 fee to write each prescription. I don’t even know if that is even legal especially to someone on social security. Adding additional estress and anxiety instead of helping reduce it. With no other option we quit going to see her and we are looking for a new doctor.

My appointments at Perfect Balance Psychiatric Services have been life changing. My interactions with Jessica and the office staff have been warm and friendly. I would recommend Dr. Siddiki, without hesitation, to anyone struggling with mental health issues. Her compassion and gentle demeanor enabled me to truthfully tell her I needed help. TMS helped me better cope with my challenges. I wish I knew about Dr. Siddiki years ago.
