Hi, I am Dr. Martin Fakiel. I am a psychiatrist serving Las Vegas residents since 1997. I am Board Certified in General and Forensic Psychiatry and have been practicing for over 30 years. During this time, I have had the opportunity to help patients from all walks of life, suffering from a broad range of psychological problems, in outpatient and inpatient settings. In this age of quick fixes and rushed
treatment, I take pride in spending ample time with my patients in order to perform a thorough evaluation and to answer all questions
about the proposed treatment plan.
Psychological problems are multidimensional, so an approach that takes into account biological, psychological, family and spiritual
factors is the most successful. Therefore, you may benefit from receiving medication, psychotherapy, or both. I have the training and experience to help you choose the type of treatment best suited to your unique needs.
I invite you to take the first step towards healing and to allow me to help you. I will put my expertise to your service and we will be
working as partners to meet your goals. Contact my office with your questions and you will get a prompt call back!
