Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Sarma has been seeing me over 10 years. After years of me trying different combinations of medication, he is the one who put it all together for me. Being with one mental health doctor for years makes everything about my appointment easier because he knows me better than myself at times.

The best!
After years of having anxiety meds increased by a different MD, he has taught me how to handle anxiety WITHOUT meds! I am much calmer.

This Dr. was easy to get an initial appointment with, however after each visit and medication adjustment I became more and more hyper, and eventually manic while still depressed from too many antidepressants. I saw Dr. because I had severe concentration and memory problems with depression, and became much much worse. Eventually Dr. said he could not help me. I then saw a psychiatrist who was so bad, I only saw him once and moved on. Dr. seemed trustworthy, but be wary about too many Ssri's

This Dr. doesn't have time to tend to his patients needs. If you need medical records forward to a doctor or even a lawyer, he" doesn't have time.." Mental health records can not be obtained by a patient so you' re at his mercy!! Patient needs should not stop after he gets your money!!
