I have found the office staff to be just as courteous and always helpful. Some people need to understand that there is a difference between a "talk" therapist who will spend 30 - 50 minutes with you and a doctor or nurse practitioner qualified to prescribe meds. I have been to many therapists and would highly recommend Randy. Sherry M.

I got their e-newsletter for some reason recently and remembered when my child's mother and I…read moredecided to bring our child in for an evaluation. We each filled out intake paperwork in advance. When I showed up and handed mine over to the front desk, the front office worker said that they had mom's and didn't need mine and proceeded to throw mine away. Fortunately, the medical practitioner was wiser and less rude and eventually retrieved it. I also was not allowed to get or give the front office any information, though I was the one to initiate services. I was told only mom could do things like make and change appointments. Over months and months of interactions, I was treated rudely and dismissively and repeatedly reminded that my opinion didn't matter by both office staff and the clinician.

This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable from a medical professional, especially when a patient is vulnerable. I expected care and support.

He began cursing repeatedly, called me "irrational," and spoke to me in a way I found completely inappropriate for a medical provider. Regardless of disagreements or frustration, I do not believe patients should be spoken to with profanity or hostility in a psychiatric setting. What also stood out to me was that during a previous visit, he asked if I could leave him a positive Google review because other clients had left negative ones. In hindsight, that felt concerning and unprofessional as well. I understand providers are busy and under stress, but professionalism and respectful communication matter -- especially in mental health care. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this experience.

I really, really wanted to like Dr. Priyanka, because she's very sweet and things started out so…read morewell. She was very willing to give me antidepressants and work with me on trying the cheaper medication first and only having appointments when necessary, because my insurance sucks and it was expensive to go. However, while she might be very willing to prescribe antidepressants (and offer to increase the dose every time I mentioned anything related to my symptoms), she refused to listen to how bad my anxiety was and just wrote it off as a side effect of the depression. She'd basically say, "when the antidepressant works, you'll have less anxiety, so just give it time" but the fourth or fifth medicine we tried has actually been working for my depression, but my anxiety is still overwhelming. As much as I try to tell her that the anxiety is ruining my life and causing me to almost lose my job and everyone I'm friends with, she refuses to discuss the topic with me. After telling her that the anxiety was so bad, it was causing me to pick at my skin and lips to the point of them bleeding regularly, she gave me one of the weakest anti-anxiety pills available (an antihistamine/allergy pill that also causes relaxation) to take as needed, but it hardly helped and I didn't like the side effects, and she wouldn't listen to me when I let her know that. Any time I try to bring up *anything* other than depression, in fact, she dismisses me. It's like she already made up her mind on what I have and won't deviate from that, despite the evidence that something more might be going on. She blows it all off with, "oh, you just have poor coping skills and need to work on it in therapy" even when I tell her that I've been trying for months and my therapist strongly feels there might be something more going on than simply depression (and that getting medication for these other things might improve my quality of life and help me learn the coping skills more effectively). Now, I know you're not reading this because you care about my life story, and this is just one example of something frustrating, but it seems to me like she's dismissive of everything she doesn't already believe, and I cannot recommend her to anyone who might have complex or comorbid problems. If there's a chance you might need to be medicated for anxiety or for multiple things at once, I recommend continuing your search elsewhere, because it's going to be hard for you to get what you need here. Good luck in your search!

The first time I called MindPath, the person who answered was on a cellphone in a car. They were…read moreunhelpful, rude, impatient and obviously unprofessional (was it too much to expect my call to be answered by a receptionist in an office who would be able to help me schedule an appointment with a provider??). I waited a few months before calling back (I had hoped for another referral from my PCP, but none of those panned out) and this time reached someone helpful who scheduled an appointment for me with Navneet Dhaliwal. The first time I met with her to talk about an ADHD diagnosis, she asked me a bunch of questions and then abruptly said I had borderline personality disorder. My jaw just dropped. After speaking with me for all of ten minutes and ignoring my request to assess me for ADHD, she just thoughtlessly drops this bomb on me with no compassion. I was shocked and told her so. (A few days later, I also had a conversation with my therapist and told her what had happened. She was also taken aback and told me there's no way I had BPD and that ADHD in women is often mistaken for borderline). In any case, Navneet did eventually diagnose me with ADHD at which point she prescribed Atomoxetine. I scheduled a follow up to discuss how things were going with the new meds. The next time we met, I told her I wasn't noticing any difference with the meds. She said, "ok, I'm going to double the dosage to 80 mg from 40 mg." I didn't have the meds in front of me so I had no idea what dosage she had prescribed, but she did also say, "hm, why does it say 10 mg here in your records?" This set off some alarm bells for me so as soon as I got home I checked the pill bottle and sure enough, she had originally prescribed 10 mg. Which means that at our follow up, she upped my dosage by 8x! This felt very very wrong so I called MindPath right away and explained to the person who answered what had happened and told her I needed to speak with the doctor right away. Navneet called me back and rather than admitting the error, she got super defensive and very riled up. She just hit me with a wall of meaningless words, none of which were "I'm sorry" or "I made a mistake". She even came at me for calling her out on the borderline diagnosis during our first meeting. She just kept saying that increasing the dosage from 10 mg to 80 mg was normal and that both doses were very low and it was no big deal. In the end, we agreed that the best path forward was for me to see another provider. She said she would transfer me to another doc. A couple days later I went to the pharmacy to pick up the scrip and the pharmacist came out to speak with me. She said, "this is really unusual for the dosage to be increased by this much. your doctor has essentially skipped all other dosages between 10 mg and 80 mg. this increases your risk for side effects by A LOT." I reassured her that I wouldn't take the meds until I had once again spoken to the doc. Finally I called MindPath again, hoping to speak with the new provider. But apparently, Navneet hadn't yet approved my switching to someone new and she was out-of-office. MindPath and Navneet truly dropped the ball here. I honestly can't imagine an easier case for them to deal with - an intelligent, articulate adult who comes in for a simple ADHD diagnosis - and can only imagine how thoroughly they screw up when dealing with more complex cases. I feel for everyone with situations more dire than my own who made the mistake of choosing these clowns for help.
