Dr. Rakesh Ranjan, MD

This man has no idea what he’s doing. He yelled at my brother for seeing a general practitioner for his physical health and told him if he wants to get better then he can only see him. Told him the only way for him to deal with PTSD, depression, and anxiety was to go to college and get a woman because women only like college men. Spends more time golfing than with his patients. Put him on such large quantities of drugs he didn’t even know what he was taking. My brother expressed he was worried about new extreme anger management issues and was practically begging him for help and the doctor told him to stop “groveling for healthcare”. My brother raised his tone but was trying so hard to remain polite only for the doctor to tell him that he’ll make sure no other doctor will ever treat him. Just a terrible human being, he would’ve been better off if he had never seen this doctor.

I decided to look for a new psychiatrist to help me with my anxiety and panic attacks. I was referred to Charak Center and can tell you firsthand they really know what they're doing! They were incredibly thorough during my intake interview. The staff at the Medina office were very polite and professional. I was surprised that they actually took the time to listen and seemed genuinely interested in my well-being. I am now a full-time patient with them and could not be happier. I have struggled with anxiety and panic attacks for over 26 years and this is the first time I actually feel a sense of comfort knowing that there is a doctor's office that is well-staffed with knowledgeable people. I'm looking forward to my future without having to worry whether or not my doctor will be available. The Charak Center respond quickly. They got me an apartment right away

He encouraged my drug use. and offered to prescribe me an amount of xanax that would eventually off me. Very rude, condescending, and violates hippa.

I have gone to this psych office for years. They have helped me getting stabilized on my medications. I am currently seeing the head doctor and he is great! I would definitely recommend him. There are some other good providers there as well. The case management has helped me with dealing with needs like food, clothing and helping with applying for housing and assistance programs in my area. They also took me to places that I needed to go when I didn't have access to a car. Some offices do not provide case management like the Charak Center does. This service was definitely a big help.

Please avoid if you want legitimate, thorough medical care. Walked in and was immediately asked to give a urine sample, even though I never indicated any drug abuse history and scheduled an appointment for anxiety issues. Spent over an hour detailing my mental health history to a student, who then summarized the case to Dr. Ranjan in maybe about two minutes. He proceeded to ask me if I ever “hoarded” and minimized all of the specific issues I talked about. Was told to triple my medication dose overnight (which previously took me months to work up to that dose) and was prescribed a benzodiazepine for every night. I felt completely unheard and overmedicated, and knew at this point this place was full of quacks & I’d never return. I’m glad I’m educated in mental health and can advocate for myself because it’s clear this place takes advantage of vulnerable people. Please prioritize finding an empathetic psychiatrist who actually takes time to understand your condition.

Dr. Ranjan has been the change I sought for several years. After arriving at total exhaustion with my previous MD's ineffective hamster wheel of bottom lines, rote rhetoric and answers dissuading unique thinking, I was resigned to never finding someone like Dr. Ranjan & Charak Center for Wellness. I left my former doctor appointments knowing I'd wasted precious time- down the drain- with doctors incapable of hearing or being receptive to my actual medical/wellness needs. Dr Ranjan and his wellness centers are refreshingly thorough with a high level of commitment to the patient/care provider relationship. He is willing to go beyond rote replies and the most generally prescribed "solutions" to find what is RIGHT for YOU and who on his team is best suited to helping with your specific needs. Finally. a doctor who truly wants to help! Finding Dr. Ranjan meant working with him & a well trained staff prepared to not only hear my concerns, but also address them every time.

My daughter was in a Substance Induced Psychosis which I was told after two hospital visits (Windsor and Akron's) that she would not get better and advised that I begin the Guardianship process and that she would need to be in a long term care facility. I disagreed. When she was discharged from Akron's I took family medical leave and stayed with her 24/7. My daughter was referred to Dr. Ranjan post discharge. Dr. Ranjan is The Man! My daughter is no longer in a psychosis and is completing her Senior Year! Fantastic, compassionate, kind doctor who did not give up on my daughter. I Highly recommend!

WOW Dr, Ranjan and his staff must have had a good July because the reviews below is from their office to bring up their their rating. I like many of Dr. Ranjan have been abused by this office scroll down past the July post and read the others they tell the truth about his practice.

Very satisfied with providers that I have

The Charak center for Health and Wellness are amazing! They listen to their clients needs and really help them all the way around

I love the case managers at charak. They are very helpful.

I really enjoy all the staff here. The Case managers here are wonderful and have been very helpful with everything.

Thankful for everything Charak does for me!

It went great!

I like all the staff here. They are all very helpful and reliable. Ive been coming here for years and years and like them. They havd their pharmacy so I get my meds and am finished and dont have to go anywnere else afterwards which is great.

Everybody here at Charak is so friendly and helpful. They all really care about you and your life. They have helped me over the years with counseling, medicines and even getting a ride to my family doctor.

I have been a patient of his facility for 15 years. It appears to me that Dr Rajan is more concerned with lining his pockets along with the pharmaceutical companies. Instead of directing his staff to do what is in the best interest of his patients, he instructs then to push the newest drug on the market..aka, big pharma for more money.

Kept talking to me about sexual acts. I am a 22 year old man he is a creep. Do not go to him
