As always, thank you Dr Bahnassi! Its been 9 years of treatment with Dr. B and I am very lucky to have someone so bright, speaking of psychiatric treatment as well as treating me! I admit that somedays I don't know which way Show moreis up, and I am a handful-but he truly cares about us as people, not just another messed up mind. To anyone lucky enough to given Dr. Bahnassi as your physician, just trust in him. Report all feelings, good&bad-and let him help you get better!

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.​
