MaleAbout Shehzad Ayub and Banner Safety Practices
Care Philosophy
Spending time and collecting a comprehensive history is important in investigating the potential mental health issues that may be impacting an individual's life. My primary focus is on medication management utilizing evidence based treatment. However, psychotherapy is often a critical component of recovery and therefore I refer out to different therapists. I believe in empowering patients by educating them about their mental illness and discussing different treatment options so they can make informed decisions.

Dr. Ayub makes me feel very comfortable when I talk to him. The office staff are friendly.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/10/2021
Dr. Ayub is an outstanding physician. He listens, has a very calming manner and quiet humor. I sometimes have a tendency to make things a little more complicated than needed. He will often make a simple statement, I will chuckle, identify some simplicity and take away something helpful to use. Dr. Ayub is the first Doctor to truly manage my medications. That has made a big difference in my day to day life. When I can walk out of an office feeling cared for clinically and emotionally it's a good day

I am privileged to have outstanding Specialists and Dr. Ayub is one of them! He has gone out of his way to help me with things that I don't understand about myself or life, in general. He's even taken the time to explain diagrams from other Dr.'s as he knows how anxious I get. He listens to me with much patience and suggests ways to look at things from another perspective. I am fortunate to have a Psychiatrist who not only gives me meds but listens to what's been going on
