He recognized what I needed right away, and starting the right medication truly changed my life. I came to him in a very dark place, to the point where my mental health was affecting my ability to function. Today, I'm stable, productive, and genuinely happy. What also made a huge difference is that he's always responsive. He doesn't leave you hanging or add to your anxiety with delays or excuses. When I've reached out in crisis, I felt heard and supported every time. I'm incredibly grateful to have found him. He helped me get my life back, and I would absolutely recommend him.

He takes a careful approach to psychiatry, allowing some time to pass before drawing conclusions about the effectiveness of treatment. Shortly after I started seeing him, the pandemic began and everything became worse. I lost my father to COVID, and then very nearly lost my job. During this time, Dr. Vedantham was very responsive, helping me through these tumultuous years. I feel immense gratitude towards him for helping me get where I am now.

I went here to get diagnosed as having ADHD at 53 y.o. Kaiser would not even assess me, because "I…read morewas not diagnosed by age 12." As a woman, and turning age 12 in 1981, that was nearly impossible, because the belief back then was that it only affects boys. I emailed back and forth with the retired Chair of Behavior Sciences for UC Berkeley (forgot his name) who's specialty is females and ADHD. He and his colleagues recently did a review of all the studies done on Females and ADHD, and they cite the very first small study even asking the question: "Can girls have ADD (what they called it then)?" done in 1979. It was the first study ever to include females. And it was small. The next study addressing the same question was done in 1982, one year after I turned 12. So Kaiser's policy was ageist and sexist--there was literally no way I would have been diagnosed by age 12. And also, research has shown that ADHD exacerbates in perimenopause. So I reached out to this clinic and they accepted me as a patient on a sliding scale. It was affordable. I had a fully psychiatric assessment. The grad student I worked with was great. I was diagnosed as having ADHD, combined type, moderately to severely. Kaiser finally, after me screaming about their sexist/ageist policy did do an assessment. They said I "likely" have it, but it's "inconclusive," because I was not diagnosed by age 12." Ugggg. They just can't let the Sexism go, again. But the diagnosis from this clinic forced them to treat me. So I am very grateful. Thank you!

Horrible experience. The NP was very condescending. She made some big assumptions after speaking…read morewith us for 45 minutes and our teenager for 15 minutes. The second time we met with her, she didn't even speak with our son after talking down to us for half an hour. She then wrote a lab order to test his levels, but his name was spelled incorrectly. I asked for a correction 3 times and never got a response. I asked for a follow up appointment 3 times and never got a response for that either. I completely accept if she decided she didn't want to work with us. However, ghosting us is incredibly unprofessional and confusing. We are astounded by the combination of her unfounded judgement, lack of professional curiosity, and ghosting. No one goes to a psychiatrist because life is easy. This is a terrible way to treat people who are clearly reaching out for help.
