Salvaron mi vida!!! Tuve una depresión muy grande, con un dolor que no podía soportar. Estuve internada, visité dos psiquiatras me dieron diferentes medicamentos, pero nada funcionaba y mi vida era miserable, hasta que di con Bright Horizons. Desde el primer momento el doctor Etesam me dio el tratamiento y medicación adecuada y la Dra Valliath me hizo seguimiento continuo. La atención de todo el staff es increíble. Mil gracias por cambiar mi vida.

Dr Amir Etesam is a gem of a doctor. I was so nervous going into his office but he eased my mind with his knowledgeable expertise along with his kindness and detailed explanation of my options for treatment and who I need to see. He has excellent bedside manners and genuinely cares. He took his time answering my questions. Not rushing like so many others. For my particular case he gave me three references to call so I can set up an appointment to go see a neuropsychiatrist instead. He left open the fact that I can always go back to his office. I wish I could have been treated by him. I have been to many different doctors throughout my life. By far he is the best. I can't thank him enough for such a positive experience. His team is pleasant, friendly and making an appointment was easy. Very professional. The office is clean and the environment is light and positive.

As a psychotherapist myself, I’m very selective about where I refer my clients for medication management, psychological testing, and advanced treatments and Dr. Etesam and his team truly stand out as exceptional. Their practice offers an impressive and thoughtful range of services, from traditional psychiatry to TMS and ketamine treatments, all delivered with a level of care, professionalism, and integrity that is rare to find. I consistently feel confident referring my clients here because I trust the quality of care and the clinical expertise across the entire team. On a personal level, I am also a patient of Anita Paudel, and she has been absolutely wonderful! I always feel heard, supported, and well cared for. I highly recommend Dr. Etesam and his team to both colleagues and my own clients seeking high-quality, comprehensive psychiatric care.

Dr. V is very empathetic, understanding, and professional. I thank her immensely for the care that she gives. I would not have recovered and made it this far without her guidance and passion! By far the best experience I have had with a psychiatrist.

I feel like this may be a new beginning for me, the staff was very polite and helpful, the doctor was extremely helpful, made everything crystal clear, having some test done that I’ve never knew existed, so I’m finding new ways with these people to help me feel better about myself and get a new lease on life. Thanks to all Edward.

We had a scheduled appt for my son. He was depressed and upset in the car before his appt. Dr E, walked to car with me and saw my upset son and didn't even try to communicate with him. He said to me he’s not ready(??) !! Then he just walked back in the building and left us. So unprofessional and disappointing. Didn't give recommendations, nothing. What kind of a professional psychiatrist would leave a person in distress?? Just unbelievable and shocking.

I’ve had multiple issues with this practice, especially with medication management. Several times, prescriptions discussed during my appointments were never sent in, including an essential medication for my sleep and anxiety. This weekend, I was left completely without it and I was left with no medication during an episode of heightened anxiety. When I called this morning to get help, the front desk staff repeatedly interrupted me and tried to direct me to the patient portal, even after I explained that the portal wasn’t working and I had already used the reset link they provided. It wasn’t until I became extremely upset and asked her to stop interrupting me that she finally took my refill request verbally. The lack of follow-through, difficulty communicating with staff, and repeated errors have made this a very frustrating and disappointing experience. Update: I spoke with the clinician manager, Shelly, and she was extremely kind and receptive. She took the time to listen to my concerns, acknowledged the issues, and provided clear solutions. I will now be seeing her for all future appointments and I’m hopeful working with her will turn around my experience.

I had an excellent experience at this practice. The office is impeccably clean, comfortable, and has a calming, positive vibe. Everyone was professional and welcoming. The person I met with was on her A-game—confident, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. She made me feel completely at ease even though I wasn’t sure what to expect. I left feeling impressed and grateful to have found such a competent and caring practice. 🫶

You Might Be Wondering...

Yes, Bright Horizons Psychiatry is in-network with Maryland Medicaid. We welcome Medicaid patients for psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and even advanced treatments like TMS and Spravato® (depending on coverage). If you’re unsure about your eligibility, our staff can verify your benefits before your first appointment.

Maryland Medicaid typically covers psychiatric evaluations, follow-up visits, and medication management. Coverage for advanced treatments like TMS or Spravato® may require prior authorization and documentation of treatment-resistant depression. Our team helps handle the paperwork and approval process to make it as smooth as possible.

You can easily book online, call our front desk, or fill out our Free Consultation form. Once we receive your information, we’ll confirm your Medicaid coverage, answer any questions, and match you with the right provider—either in-person at our Rockville clinic or via telehealth.

In most cases, you do not need a referral to see one of our psychiatrists if you have Maryland Medicaid. However, certain managed Medicaid plans may have specific requirements. When you reach out, our intake team will confirm everything for you and guide you through next steps.

We treat a wide range of adult psychiatric conditions, including major depression (including treatment-resistant cases), anxiety disorders, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, and bipolar disorder. Medicaid patients receive the same high-quality, evidence-based care as any of our clients—without compromise.

Yes, it’s possible. Many Medicaid plans cover TMS therapy and Spravato® (esketamine) for patients who’ve tried and not responded to at least two antidepressants. We help you gather the necessary documentation and request prior authorization, so you can access these life-changing treatments without unnecessary delays.
