She brings a wide array of experience and is always willing to explore apporaches that I feel might be helpful to me. I don't want to go into too much personal detail, but she has been vital to me getting the help I need to address psychiatric challenges I've struggled with. Highly recommended. smita okeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been seeing Dr. Malini Prabhu for the past few weeks and have only great things to say. She is very compassionate and understanding. She listened to my issues very patiently and with her treatment already started to feel better.

If anyone is looking for such issues, I highly recommend both Dr. Malini Prabhu as well as Dr. Jasmina Anandpara. Jadyn GentileTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t say enough amazing things about this practice. I feel so seen, heard, and valued. I’m not someone who typically opens up to people, but the staff here makes it so easy to feel comfortable to. I’ve seen so much progress in myself and I know it’s from all the amazing work I’ve been blessed to do with this practice. Thank you for everything! :) Susan HTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been under the care of Dr. Malini Prabhu for anxiety and treatment-resistant depression for just under a year. I can confidently say she provided comprehensive and compassionate psychiatric care. What really set Dr. Prabhu apart was her willingness to look beyond just standard prescriptions. When it became clear that traditional antidepressants weren’t enough on their own, she was open to discussing advanced treatment options with me — including TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) and Spravato (esketamine nasal spray). She referred me to a world renowned institition for these cutting-edge therapies. Because of this forward-thinking approach, I am in a much better place, back at work and enjoying my life again. I have a treatment plan that meets my needs. If you’re struggling with anxiety or depression that hasn’t responded to typical treatments, I strongly recommend Dr. Prabhu to help your navigate these challenges. She will partner with you to find what truly helps. George GergisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Kumar is an excellent psychiatrist who truly cares about his patients. He listens carefully, explains things clearly, and always takes the time to make sure I feel understood and supported. I never feel rushed during appointments, and he works with me to find the best treatment plan for my needs.

I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a psychiatrist who genuinely puts patients first. b cTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
