I have been seeing Dr. Khan for over a year now. She has helped me through a very tough time in my life along with identifying underlying issues. I remember my very 1st visit, she dropped a medicine I had been taking for many years, which I assume was due to potentially negative drug interactions. No matter the reason, it helped! Dr. Khan is VERY careful and conscious of what medicines she is prescribing you. She will not tolerate being lied to (I had a friend who tried that) and depending on what drug(s) she is prescribing, she will require a drug test if she deems it necessary. If you are wanting a careless psychiatrist, who will write up whatever you ask for, then she is not the one for you. While I am sure she enjoys the money from her profession (whatever is left anyways, from what I would imagine is a hefty college debt), she truly cares about people and her profession. She is a very good listener and I have not felt rushed during my appointments. She is a straight shooter and very blunt, which I personally appreciate. I have not seen the other MD in the office (Dr. Rabbani) but hear great things about him as well. As of this writing they also have a Dr. Whitt (PsyD) and Lynne Kilgore (M.Ed., LPC). The front office staff are very nice and welcoming. They promptly return your calls as well. Oh, I also meant to mention that you can message Dr. Khan (or Dr. Rabbani) regarding any refill request or imminent issues you are having(think bad reaction to meds, not, I need to change my appointment....that's what the front staff is for). For the most part, Dr. Khan has been very responsive, especially considering she has many patients and her own personal life. To give an example, yesterday I messaged her around 1PM (The pharmacy I chose to use was out of my prescribed medicine.), and gave a call to front desk. (They have an option for "refill request", you leave a message and they call you back.) The front office called back shortly, gathered needed details, and Dr. Khan had my prescription rerouted to another pharmacy by 5PM. It doesn't always workout like that, but most of the time it does. The waiting room offers a reasonable selection of coffees & teas (caffeinated and decaf) along with REAL coffee mugs, not your typical little Styrofoam cups. I enjoy their location as well. You don't have to worry about parking or traffic. One thing to note: They are currently at 2015 Stonegate Trail Suite 105, but will be moving across the parking lot to a new office around October 2018, with a new address of 2016 Stonegate Trail, Suite 112.

I have been a patient of Dr.Farah Khan's for several years now. She is a very good doctor that listens closely to what you have to say. She may ask a few questions, but she gives me the opportunity to open up and talk to her about things on my mind that may be bothering me. Things that are going on in my life rather it be the past or present. Dr. Khan also answers any and all of my questions. I have seen several psychiatrist doctorts since Dr. LeCroy retired. In my opinion Dr. Khan is one of the best psychiatrist in Jefferson County, Alabama. Dr. Khan's office in Vestavia located in Jefferson County, Alabama is easy to get to and parking is available free and conveient.

Erika Mcdonald

Dr. Khan was consistently late (we could always expect at least an hour long wait for appointments) and cancelled appointments on us twice in less than six months. The office staff is rude and unhelpful, it took them a month to complete a simple prior authorization. And the attitude and care offered by Dr. Khan was definitely sub par. I would not recommend her or this office.

Dee Dee

The doctors are racist and only see patients that are relatives of the doctors. Doctors are slow and rude as well as the front staff. I am considering filing a lawsuit for discrimination

John Hay

The doctor we saw was good (Emily Whitt is excellent) so at least 2 stars, but the front office staff, while nice, could not figure out our insurance and we had several visits thinking they were covered and they ended up not being covered. Now we're getting hassled about our balance. Just very frustrating.

John Brick

I have seen both Dr. Khan and Dr. Rabbani. They are very caring people and wanting to help you.

John Thomas

I will never use them again. Very questionable billing practices. Rude and unhelpful with billing questions. Unprofessional front staff. Was charged $200 for an office visit the front staff mistakenly made.

Joey Jones

Dr. Khan was the most condescending and rude doctor I have ever had. No bedside manner, never wanted to listen to me, when asked how I was doing one day I said "fine" so she said "ok so you're not depressed" and she said it as matter of fact as if she were me. This office is all about making money, not helping people. Plus apparently a set appointment means nothing when you have to sit and wait 2 hours past your appointment. And good luck calling them. No matter what you do you will always get a recording. Same goes for trying to fill any of your prescriptions. I can't speak on the other doctors but Dr. Khan is awful. No one should see her.

Appt w/ Dr. Rabbani was a total waste of time. Wanted to treat a problem that was not the underlying issue, instead of the issue at hand. Do not waste your $ or time.

Samantha H

Dr. Rabbani has been very helpful at getting my son back on track at school. My son was having trouble with focus and Dr. Rabbani found the right medication for my son. He's easy to talk to you, and I find him empathetic and well-humored. Highly recommended!

Chelsea Lucas

Shady business practices and a doctor who doesn't listen to her patients. A doctor's office should not have "hidden fees" like it's a payday loan. She charges (at her discretion) an additional "therapy" fee if you talk about things "not related to medication". 1 This rule is not universally applied, you're just charged extra when they feel like it, and 2, I have a hard time thinking of many things one would say in a psychiatric session that wouldn't in some way relate to medication. If you have a time limit for your appointments, say so, don't show up late, try to rush your patients through like cattle and definitely don't ask them personal psych-related questions and THEN charge them for answering them. She is consistently late for appointments, but charges an insane cancellation fee. She started our first visit by pushing me to get a "genetic medication compatibility test", which is not covered by my insurance, and currently has little peer-reviewed evidence demonstrating its value. Then she tried to convince me to start on several medications that I/immediate family members have responded to terribly in the past, and would ignore me when I pointed that out, saying "we have had good luck in many patients treating with xyz". You cannot try and sell a genetic test as legitimate while ignoring family history. I've never had a psych professional act this callous.

Sue Murphy

I have been a patient of Dr. Farah Khan for over 8 years. I have been her patient since she was at APS. She definitely goes "the extra mile". She is reachable and caring. This review is from someone who has seen her for years, not by people who love to judge people after 1 visit and get upset when they are not prescribed what they want. Thanks for all your help for so many years.

Great psychiatrist! Helped me very much.

Would never come back. Rabbani could have cared less about my issues. Front desk called me asking about paying my bill but hadn’t sent a balance statement. Never once called to inquire about a follow up or how the appt was but call and demanded a payment. I started making payments EVERY single month & was Still threaten to go to “collections” every month. I told that “psychiatrist” that I had to stop working because of the issues I was having, the whole reason I was there; So paying once a month was the best I could do. Have had worked in a “billing” capacity prior, I know if the patient is attempting to pay off their balance by sending in a monthly payment, we have to accept that & not threaten collection activities. Let’s you know that I was just a file in the system & they could care less. Should have turn around when I checked in cause the girl behind the window was eating while checking me in. You think I want you eating with your mouth open while handing you my credit card & Insurance info from your hand to mine? Shady business practices I wouldn’t doubt. If you want to improve your mental health issues, DO NOT GO HERE! HORRIBLE person who see’s patients there cause I don’t even respect him as a psychiatrist & front desk sucks!

I had a good experience with Dr. Rabbani. He is very helpful and listened to my problems and treated me with kindness and respect. I did not feel rushed during my visits.

Melissa N

Dr Rabbani is an excellent psychiatrist, very knowledgable and helpful physician. He cares about his patients, and is very responsive. He is compassionate and is very conscious of his prescribing medicines. I count my lucky stars that I met Dr R.... Look no further!! He is great.

Faith Hill

I love Dr Whitt 5 stars!!!! Dr Rabbani really needs to have some more empathy and more trust in his patients. The front desk if y’all he rudest office staff I have ever encountered. Extremely rude over the phone, unhelpful and well rude. I asked to leave a message for a doctor and they said insurance didn’t cover phone conversations?! WTH your a doctors office- seems to want to get paid for things that are normally regular practice.

Dr. Rabbani is an excellent psychiatrist. He is knowledgeable about medicines but also a skilled therapist. Highly recommend him!

Davenport Mark

Unlike some other psychiatry practices in Birmingham, you are treated respectfully at Alabama Psychiatry & Counseling and seen on time. Dr. Khan is an expert in mental health issues. I have been her patient for years and have been stable on the medicines prescribed by her.

Johnny H.

Dropping Khan and Rabbani as my doctors was the best decision for my health. I was a patient for nearly three years. They were late to every appointment that was scheduled and getting prescriptions refilled was an enormous hassle month after month. Don't expect to ever get in touch with either Doctor, (I was assured that a 15 minute session every six months was all the time I needed, and told not to expect anything more). Dr. Rabbani spends most of his time away from the office and it really shows. Save yourself the trouble and frustration and find a Doctor who practices FULL time.

Sam Montgomery

I will not be returning.

Gayle Crause

Change their location and changed my appointment and I did not receive notice. Not get informed. Very poor response on the mix up. No email or letter to advise of move. Said they called me to advise of appointment change Unfriendly never apologized. Will not be back.

Nichele Cantrell

Under Dr. Farah Khan's care, my life made a complete turn around in a few months. She is knowledgeable and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an emphatic, easy to talk to and caring psychiatrist. I had an excellent experience with her office. They are prompt with returning phone calls and everyone working there is really pleasant. I could not be happier with my decision!

Taylor Youngson

Anthony Gentry

I saw a psychiatrist by the name of Dr. Rabbinni. I have Never had a worse experience with ANY DOCTOR. He sat at his desk typing asking me bullet point questions in rapid succession, without an ounce of compassion, care or even a glance in my direction. I felt like I was in a HORRIBLE job interview where I knew I wasn't going to get the job within the fist 60 seconds. YOU ARE WARNED!!

I would give this place zero stars if possible. I have been seeing a psychiatrist for years and was looking to find another doctor, as my previous psychiatrist is moving. I booked an appointment with Dr. Khan and was very excited after reading the positive google reviews. All I have to say is BE WARY. She began by obviously asking what medications I am prescribed, my emotions, & so forth. However, her demeanor the entire time was a very know-it-all attitude and she did not seem to want or care about my emotions. She critiqued my parents for letting me take Adderall, saying she would only prescribe me XR Adderall. She also let me know she does not practice "American medicine," but believes more in European, mainly Chinese medicine. Her reasoning is because Chinese people have a longer average life span than most Americans. I found this strange as we are in America, but did not let this deter me from continuing to speak with her. She then suggested she could admit me into a hospital to wean me off ALL medications I had been taking for years. When I asked why, she told me it was to see what medications I really needed and how I truly acted without them. I have struggled with depression and anxiety for years, and my mother, a Nurse Practitioner, was in awe once I told her. I think my breaking point occurred when I told her I used to self-harm at a younger age, to which she literally laughed and replied "how well did that work out for you?" After this statement, I knew I could never trust her as my caregiver, much less the doctor who looked after my mental health. Dr Khan has absolutely NO bedside manner when it comes to communicating with patients and is very one-sided on all matters. Whenever I asked her a question out of curiosity, she acted like I was interrogating her and seemed annoyed, although I was just trying to get a better understanding of why she did some things the way she does. Overall, the visit was uncomfortable and left me feeling worse about myself than when I came in. While I cannot speak on the other doctors who work with her, I was deterred from ever visiting again after my experience with Dr. Khan. Thankfully, I found a new psychiatrist who truly cares and never suggested or acted out in any of the absurd ways Dr. Khan did. They are now trying to bill me again for a copay I already paid?! They will never receive my service or money again.
