ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS-Bonmente knows asking for help is not an easy thing to do. We also know that finding a provider you trust to help you navigate mental health care can be a challenge. That's why we're here and we're doing things differently. As a patient at Bonmente, you enjoy comprehensive treatments customized specifically for your unique circumstances, convenient telemedicine appointments that allow you to see your provider from the comfort of home, an online patient portal that lets you communicate directly with your provider, and a highly trained support team that makes becoming a patient as simple as it should be.
Exclusively focused on mental health issues, Bonmente treats a myriad of psychiatric conditions including anxiety, depression, ADHD, sleep disorders, postpartum depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, and OCD. Dr. Ahmad offers medication management and telepsychiatry appointments.
Dr. Riz graduated from the Medical College of Georgia and completed residency at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, one of the nation's top psychiatry programs. There he was groomed in not only the science of psychiatry but also the fine art of its practice. Known for an unassuming familiarity in his interactions, Dr. Riz aims to be a resource to whomever he meets.
