6 Reviews on “Sandhya Prashad”
She’s fabulous. Really committed to making you better.
Dr. Prashad is the most committed, kindest doctor. I have seen her and sent friends to her and the quality of care each of us have received is healing all the past negative experiences of feeling like a body of symptoms with a minimal check list to be completed. SHE treats me with concern and compassion, and is interested in me as well as the different components of my life, not just the number of symptoms I have to add up to a formula for a prescription. If you want to be treated with wholeness and a true curiosity of the interconnectedness of your life this is the only doctor to see.
If you struggle with depression, I highly recommend trying TMS, and deep TMS specifically which this clinic provides. It’s been a virtually side effect free experience. They do a great job here of checking your TMS configuration at the beginning of each sesssion to check if the intensity and area need adjustment. They also survey your symptom severity daily as well. When I went to a neurostar tms clinic previously, they did none of this on a daily basis which was dissapoiniting. The accuracy and precision done on your care here is impressive. And unlike neurostar, I feel a more powerful effect from deep tms. As far as billing, the speed at which they were able to get a preauthorization with my insurance so I could start treatment was also great.
The clinic also does a great job with doing proper blood tests to provide any supplement recommendations. A large portion of my anxiety and depression symptoms were relieved by making this adjustment alone. There is a lab just a few floors below them that can do the testing which made it convenient too.
Finally, the staff are super responsive and helpful via digital communication. It’s nice to have that flexibility to not have to rely purely on phone calls which some clinics insist on using as their only form of communicating with you. Looking at traditional psychiatric treatment approaches can look like there still in the stone age after you’ve come here!
She’s an incredible psychiatrist. Very caring, responsive and way ahead of the curve in teams of offering new treatments. She also has a ketamine clinic that’s been very successful in curing treatment-resistant depression.
Who else has had a hard time finding a good psychiatrist? Well, your look is over. Dr. Sandhya Prashad has made my life so much better! I have gotten more help from her in the past few months than I have from the people I have seen during the past few years. She spends time with her patients and asks the right questions to enable her to figure out a diagnosis and proper treatment plan. She really listens and conveys concern for her patients, as well as being respectful of the patients’ concerns and feelings. She is hopeful, optimistic, warm and empathic and has a manner that makes it easy for you to relax and feel comfortable. But what I like most of all is that she includes her patients in the treatment process. She collaborates with you to come up with plans that work. Thank you, Dr. Prashad, for making my life better in every way!
Dr. Prashad is the best psychiatrist and Dr I’ve ever been to, hands down. She genuinely cares about her patients and wants to help them. When I faced issues with insurance coverage she personally called to fight for me to have the coverage I needed for my treatments to continue on schedule. Her care and treatments have changed my life.
