I have been a patient of Dr Bahnassi for at least 10 plus years. I will be 82 years old which you may think would put me out of reach of psychiatrist care. However my conditions have existed to way back when and are considered druShow moreg resistant for treatment. However, Dr Bahnassi over the years has made a few changes in my prescriptions and I am completely satisfied with the results and how they make my life better. I could not ask for more.

About Amjad Bahnassi, MD

Amjad Bahnassi quite literally could not have gotten out of Syria any sooner. Born and raised in the capital of Damascus, Bahnassi graduated high school at 16 and finished medical school at 22. The day after graduation, he left. "I was ready," he said. Bahnassi came to Worcester in the early 1980s for a residency program at UMass Medical Center as a psychiatrist and never left. After completing his residency, he started Behavioral Healthcare Services, a practice he still leads after more than 25 years.​
