    It is rare, I know from personal and parental experience, to find the type of psychiatrist that Dr. Appah is. His brilliant mind is combined with an incredible caring, authentic genuine bedside manner. He takes the clinical out of your management plan with him. He was instrumental in bringing my son back to our family as he was before he dipped low. He relates to adults, as well as older teens heading into adulthood. He calls them out, and holds all accountable in being a part of their own management plan. They get him and he gets them.

    Dr. Appah is without a doubt the best therapist I have ever been lucky enough to have worked with. There is no question that Dr. Appah truly cares about who he treats, and is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure the well-being of his patients. His insights are intelligent, intuitive, logical, and thought provoking. I’d highly recommend him to anyone who is going through any sort of personal or medical issue. Expect to obtain some guidance and wisdom like never before. For Dr. Appah, is truly an extraordinary therapist.

    Dr. Apppah is by far one of the most gifted and good natured psychiatrists that I have ever known. I especially recommend his services for dual diagnosis cases: he understands the different levels of addiction, their subtle varieties, as well as the appropriate treatments to work with and around one’s addiction to effectively treat both their psychiatric and addiction issues. This guy is an absolute gem and I recommend him very highly..
