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.

“I can’t recommend this psychiatrist highly enough. From my very first appointment, Rhonda Bessette made me feel heard, respected, and genuinely cared for. She took the time to listen without rushing, explained treatment options clearly, and made me feel involved/comfortable with every decision. Her approach was compassionate, thoughtful, and professional, which made a world of difference in my mental health journey. I am truly grateful for her support and guidance during such a vulnerable time.”
