I've been going to Serene since 2018 and haven't regretted it one bit. Dr. Rasul listens to your unique needs and doesn't pressure you into anything like I've experienced with several other psychiatrists. Melissa at the front desk is incredibly kind, helpful and informative about getting started at SBH. I can honestly say that my quality of life had drastically improved after just a couple visits with Dr. Rasul! I live in south Orlando and still make the drive to Serene in Metro West because I haven't found a place around me that even compares.
