See what our patients are saying about Rahab Mbugua

I'm extremely satisfied with my doctor. She is the best. She is so understanding when it comes to mental health. I've had other doctors prior and developed a stigma around doctors that your just a treated as a number and they need to get paid. And she has proved me wrong. She is very compassionate to me and patient with me. She diagnosed me properly. Untreated I was a unbalanced my depression would allow me to be unmotivated. I could literally be in bed for hours if I wasn't working. My medication helps me function on daily activities. Its unbelievable. I thought their was no hope. Ive had for 3 years. If your looking for caring compassionate doctor. This is your sign

Thus far I really like Rahab Mbugua. She is a breath of judgment free air! She is not only a great listener, but also took what I thought / think is best for me into consideration and we made a plan around that. Honestly she should be the voice for apps like Slumber or Calm because she really does sound so calm, welcoming, soft, and nurturing.

I have been seeing Ms.Rahab for a while now and she truly is great at what she does and is very considerate of how her patients feel. She listens to my concerns then plans accordingly with making sure I am knowledgeable of every aspect of the treatment. I appreciate her commitment to healthcare.

I’ve been seeing Rahab for almost a year. She treaded me all through out my pregnancy and postpartum. I’ve never had a doctor that listens to my concerns and makes me feel so comfortable. I can’t recommend her enough.
