Dr. Vijaya Vellanki, MD

Took my problem of grief over my husbands death and the anxiety I had and still helps me to this day. I have medication to help as well

I’ve had to go through trials of several psychiatrists before being able to find a good fit. Mental health is something that cannot be fixed by a visit or a pill. It’s a conjunction of the help of the professional and the patient to figure out a plan to approach and resolve any issues that are needing to be confronted. Therapy also goes along with this as the psychiatric portion is just a segment to assist in mental health. With that being said, Dr. Vellanki is probably the most honest and genuine professional that I’ve had the privilege to have help me. She’s very professional and takes the job seriously— as I’ve had a lot of progress, with her help, and good results in my improvement through her guidance and assistance. Everyone is human and we all have our moments of stress or worries; so overall I would say that she is the most reliable doctor I’ve dealt with for my mental health. Very thankful for someone who listens and tries to help to identify and help me figure out how to resolve my issues that I face. She’s also helped to refer me to a professional therapist to work in cohesion with the help from her. Through studies this is found to be the best approach to improve mental health issues. So I’m thankful and blessed she’s leading me in the right direction!

She was reckless. She didn't bother to listen. She was rushed and acted like she really couldn't be bothered. She didn't ask questions to make a proper or any diagnosis at all. She gave me medication, which I later read one of the side effects was rage. She didn't at all warn me about that. After a mental health crisis several months later, I eventually received actual treatment and a diagnosis of severe PTSD from sustained childhood drama. She put my life and wellbeing at risk. Find someone that is experienced, professional and actually cares to take the time to make a proper diagnosis. This person she have her licenced revoked.
