Dr. Naseef is very kind and efficient. I felt immediately comfortable, upon working with him and I'm so glad I picked him for my autism evaluation. He is the best and I really enjoyed working with him!

This review is long overdue (we’re talking 5 months), but even so I still want to put it out there. For the longest of time I’ve had this feeling that something wasn’t right. There were a lot of things that I was dealing with/affected by that I felt affected me more than it would the “average” person. Long story short all this led to me doing research about autism and then taking the raads-r test. After sitting with those results for a year, I decided to get professionally diagnosed and let just say I am so grateful that I found Dr. Naseef. I have never felt so seen, heard, and safe- especially as a black woman. To be honest, a part of the reason why I’ve been stalling to get diagnosed was because a lot of the time woman and people of color tend to get misdiagnosed or told that they don’t have autism- even if the individual did extensive research prior to reaching out. With Dr. Naseef, my concerns were taken seriously. Not only did I get my diagnosis, he also provided me with a lot of information and tools to help assist me on my journey. Just thinking about the amount of help I received gets me kind of emotional because with his help it feels like weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. And sure, though this journey of relearning/reworking has been an interesting one, but I am so so thankful to this day because without his help I don’t think I personally wouldn’t have gotten this far. So if you’re thinking about getting diagnosed- definitely ask for Dr. Naseef!

A true professional and an expert in his field. Dr. Naseef has first hand experience with ASD and his compassion and understanding truly reflect that. A rare gem in today's medical environment.

Dr. Naseef is a truly excellent doctor who brought much needed relief to my life through his autism evaluation services. Right from the beginning, he establishes a clear welcoming environment. The passion for what he does shines through how he speaks and listens. Comfort is key when speaking about your personal struggles, and there’s plenty of comfort to find here. Never once did I feel shy to be myself and speak my mind around Dr. Naseef. In fact, I really enjoyed speaking with him and grew excited for our meetings. I felt heard in a way that I can’t say about many others. The entire process went over very smoothly over video calls which made for a safe feeling environment. I’m infinitely grateful for Dr. Naseef’s wholeheartedly kind and understanding nature that I was worried I would never find, but ended up finding through him. If you’re looking for somebody who really gets it and wants to help you, I absolutely recommend meeting with Dr. Naseef. Thanks to his help, I can finally begin a long awaited journey of self understanding after having received my autism diagnosis. Thanks for everything!

I dealt with this man over 15 years ago when my twin sons were small. What I really liked is that he was very passionate and that he could relate because his own son is autistic. I recommend him 1000%. I haven’t Sun him in years but I just sent someone his way today.

Dr. Naseef is a very talented listener and guide for helping people through their personal challenges. Over the last 2 years, he has been super easy to talk to, very attentive to find where my thinking or perception of an area of my life could be improved, and then guided me through the improvement by asking thoughtful questions to help me find my way to a better life. Dr. Naseef has helped me shed guilt, improve my self-image, live life with more balance, and vastly improve my relationships to mention a few ways he has helped. I highly recommend him to anyone interested in improving their quality of life. I only wish I had met him sooner! Thanks Dr. Naseef :)

Dr. Naseef is amazing. What I assumed would be a stressful experience turned out to be a really great experience. I learned a lot about myself. I highly recommend him. :)

Dr. Naseef is a very kind and knowledgeable doctor. He kindly guided me through the ASD process. He never judged what I said or thought, actually he validated my feelings and that was priceless to me. I am a woman in my 60s and he was welcoming and reassuring. He is truly what I needed during this time. I had a great experience working with Dr. Naseef. I have nothing but appreciation for him.

★★★★★★★★★★Kaitlin MooreAug 2021

Dr. Naseef is a kind and caring professional. I struggled at first to find someone who would even perform adult autism assessments, and I was nervous about what the process would be like. Dr. Naseef made me feel comfortable (not always the easiest thing to do) every step of the way. He is supportive, empathetic, and an excellent listener. I felt heard, understood, valued, accepted, and respected. I was also relieved to be able to complete the assessment remotely via a secure telehealth platform. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Naseef!

★★★★★★★★★★Sandra CarrollAug 2021

Dr. Naseef performed an incredibly thorough and practical evaluation for a young adult with autism in my family. Young adults often need updated evaluations for government agencies and quasi government organizations, and yet the wait to get such an evaluation is often impractical. Dr. Naseef gave us materials to fill out ahead of time to expedite the process and give us time to provide thoughtful input, scheduled the eval in a reasonable amount of time, and did not charge enormous fees to do so. His one one one evaluation was comprehensive but not overly long or intolerable. His manner was considerate and he was able to establish rapport with a shy individual who has difficultly speaking to anyone, let alone strangers. His analysis and report was accurate and useful, with clearly demonstrated expertise in this area. I am so grateful that I was able to find this resource, and would recommend it to anyone similarly situated.
