TESTIMONIALS
"I am highly recommending Dr. Azerrad, a well-known clinical psychologist in Lexington, MA. I have referred patients to him for the past 10 years. These cases are usually of the most difficult type consisting of parents having children with severe behavioral problems. He works wonders for these troubled families where others have failed to help."

"I have sent many families to Dr. Azerrad. His input has been very helpful. I saw one of these families recently. Several years ago they were having a difficult time with their now seven-year-old son. He has become a delight. I asked what factor played the biggest role in bringing about this change. Without a pause, the mother said, 'Dr. Azerrad.' I don't know of a better recommendation."
