Maihan Yazmine Aurah, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

4.8(47)✓ Google-verified

Patients consistently describe Maihan Aurah as a deeply engaged clinician who listens without judgment and remembers details. Her willingness to adjust medications when prior approaches failed, combined with genuine care for each person's life circumstances, sets her apart from transactional providers. Her knowledge of mood disorders and medication management is paired with referrals to therapy when helpful. Zoom appointments are available and easy to book. One patient reported difficulty with the website portal, though her clinical care itself drew praise even in that review.
