OUR PATIENTS SAY
Dr. Yazhbin has a beautiful welcoming office with a very friendly and helpful staff. Appointment was prompt, Dr. Y extracted what he needed from my medical records, a tailored personal discussion was held regarding how medicinal marijuana would help me with chronic pain. I was further impressed that he gave me the precise THC/CBD ratio specifically for my condition! Despite we’re waiting for MD dispensaries to open, this practice is highly recommended to get started!
Thank you Dr. Yazhbin, you are truly a remarkable Doctor! I look forward to the next time I see you. I strongly urge everyone to see Dr.Y, but especially Disabled Veterans! I certainly want to thank you the doctor’s assistant, Erwana
Their medical team makes you feel at ease as soon as you arrive. There was a bit of a wait so I suggest you make the appointment sooner. They are kind enough to accommodate me for an appointment even if I called the day before. The nurse practitioner was very accommodating and took her time with me to answer all my questions. The amazing view of their location is a plus! You would not mind waiting on the line while seeing the view.

Called their medical cannabis clinic to see if my condition can be approved. The lady on the phone was very helpful and asked me several questions to make sure I can be certified and I met all requirements before I come for an actual appointment. I don't regret choosing them to help me. I'll see them after a year for my renewal.

I called their clinic as soon as I got my patient id #. Booking the appointment is quick and easy. I like that they ask me questions and make sure my condition is qualified and i have all the required paperworks before sending me to their clinic. Consultation took about 20 mins then i got my medical marijuana approval the same day.

They gave me a compassionate discount on my appointment. Waiting for my ID # from the commission took days but this clinic is patient with me and assisted me until I was completely certified.I made some research about medical marijuana and found it really effective for patients where the traditional method of treatment did not work. It helps a lot in pain management with very little side effects compared to those pain meds

Very helpful staff from the lady who booked my appointment, the medical assistant and the nurse practitioner. They walked me through the process on how I can go to the dispensaries and be legal with medical marijuana. Their building is a little bit hard to find when you are on the roundabout but you can always give them a call for directions.

I got my marijuana approval same day. i booked my appointment after I received my MMCC number which a day before the appointment and they made sure I will have what they need on my appointment. I have to wait for 30 mins before I was seen but I have no complains as I am glad they still took me in last minute. They also gave me some dispensaries in the area which I can go to.

I am glad I called them and get educated on how to get my medical card. The lady on the phone explained to me the process in a detailed manner and told me what I need to do and the medical records that I need to bring. They are so helpful. It's a bit tricky to find their location with all those tall buildings though but they are really excellent.

Made an appointment for 1045. I showed up at 1030. Waited until 1115. Called and left messages, emailed them, no response. So I left. Pretty unprofessional imo.

I set-up an appointment, brought my medical records, met the Dr., got my certification, ordered my card to the commission, got my card. I’m glad that at least the certification can be used when I went to the dispensary before I received my medical card. It takes time for the entire process with the commission but it’s not complicated. Overall, I am satisfied on how Compassionate Care guided me and helped me to be in the medical marijuana program for my seizure disorder.

they helped me understand better the process and benefits of medical cannabis. They make sure on the phone that I am qualified and will be certified for the program before they asked me to come in for the visit and pay for my evaluation. I am happy with the experience and wish I did this earlier. Tip: come in earlier as the office in downtown.

i have been struggling with depression and anxiety for some time now. getting clinically diagnosed with depression opened me up to rely on a number of pills which i dont want to. getting certified made me hopeful and positive that i wont have to take pills again. thank you compassionate care for making this process a breeze for me.

because of my rheumatoid arthritis, i have been having problems sleeping and functioning normally because of the constant sharp pains in my joints that i've been dealing with. one of my friends who have tried this same program suggested that consider this medical option and I was more than surprised with the benefits. it helped a lot in dealing with the pain and gave me a good night's sleep!!!

I can't say enough about the people who work here. I called several times and got all the information about how to get my marijuana card. He was patient and answered every question that I had. I knew I had to book an appointment with these guys. I thought that was pretty great. Quick and efficient. I couldn't have asked for a better place to get my card from. These guys are awesome. I will recommend them over and over again.

I have been coping with progressive chronic pain for many years and there is never a time when I'm pain free. I finally reached the end of my rope and found the courage to schedule a consult to see if alternative medicine supplementation could work for me. I was impressed by their professionalism! The staff, receptionist and physician were knowledgeable, caring, and thorough. I am so happy I chose this clinic :-). Thank you guys for all you do for your patients!

To begin, setting up the appointment was so quick and easy. As soon as I filled out the forms for new patient and it said that someone would call within 3 days of my scheduled appointment - I freaked. Why? Because I scheduled it for the following day. Needless to say... I received a phone call within a couple of hours, if that, to set up my appointment for the following day. AWESOME! So about 15 minutes before my appointment a secretary called me to remind me to sign into Telehealth. Now, that is the ONLY issue I had was Telehealth wouldn’t let me see or hear the doctor via smart phone. BUT - Dr. Amy called me once she realized I couldn’t log onto Telehealth and was very understanding. She was willing to do the appointment via phone. PERFECT! Now, Dr. Amy was VERY informative and fluent with the laws, facts, uses and what type of medicine to use and for what. She was very specific, kind , helpful and taught me a few things I never knew. All in all, I would definitely recommend Compassionate Care Consultants, LLC to any patient that may be on the hunt for this type of medical doctor.

I can't praise the online interview and renewal process enough. It was easy, fast, and there was nothing lost by using video chat for the interview. This is how it should remain even after the pandemic emergency.
