Report
I am not using my real name for this review. I use to be Dr. Pourmands patient and he recommended Dr. Abouhamzeh for some kind of personality test. At time, I was going through lot in my personal life and I was very depressed. I met her at Dr. Pourmands office. Dr. Abouhamzeh asked me some questions and then confirmed that I needed to take the test. After I took the test and paid $500 cash to Dr. Abouhamzeh I never saw my test results and I never heard from her again. Dr. Abouhamzeh I just saw your name and I thought maybe this review will assist others in need of professional help to make
