Psychiatrist near Bethesda, MD

Great doctor, very professional and friendly staff. They know how to make you feel comfortable, and actually feel good about talking of what is concerning you. Highly recommend this doctor and staff.

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.

She was awesome. She made me feel very comfortable. I would definitely be back.

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.

! This experience has had an extraordinary impact on my life. The staff are consistently accommodating and demonstrate exceptional empathy, which is especially meaningful in today

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. 🫶

Friendly people. Prompt attention.

I had an amazing first visit here. I look forward to Working with Bright Horizons!!
