Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Meena and her team! My brother is under her treatment for quite long time and he improved a lot in terms of enhancing quality of life. Now he is almost set to go for work and perform his daily activities as normal human being because of doctor's right treatment decision at right time. She was very accommodative was ready to follow up via Skype whenever needed even though we changed the city. We are truly impressed with her guidance, valuable suggestions, and always helping attitude that doctor exhibited throughout our journey. Thanks a lot!

Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueWait time
We have been consulting Dr. Meena and her psychologist Lakshmi for the past one year for my daughter's ADHD. We find them competent and professional, and more importantly, friendly and very empathetic. They have counseled us on several aspects and helped us understand how to prioritize among the many things that are in disarray. They also encourage us to provide regular updates on the progress via phone, email etc so that they can intervene as necessary before a scheduled visit. As a result, there has been good improvement on some basic and important fronts. My daughter connects well with them and looks forward to visiting them. However given that ADHD ranges over a continuum and the same therapy or medicine does not work for everyone or at all times and requires trial and error to determine the right combination -- which can change over time and hence requires long-term (if not life-long) management -- only time will tell us whether our time and money will be worth it. But we are hopeful.

**** ** *** * **** ***** ** ** *** **** **** ****** ***** the therapists are never on time. in all the meetings i had with the therapist assigned to me she never helped me with my specific problems or helped me to open up in anyway. usually her sessions were filled with anecdotes about her family and her life which was extremely unprofessional *** *** *** *** ******* * ******* the psychiatrist dr meena was highly unprofessional and rude especially to my parents who were talked down to for asking questions regarding my treatment that any parent would ask. anytime i brought the issues that i had with dr meena and her therapist regarding my care *** **** ********** ********** ** ******** ** ******** ******* which i repeatedly told her i was not comfortable with. we were never able to get ahold of her even during my sessions since she would only be willing to talk to me for one to two minutes ****** *** *** *** ********** we had to go behind her multiple times just to get a five minute conversation with her for which she charged a full hour session. ** ******* ********* ************* ***** ***** ** **** ***** ***** **** ** ****** there was absolutely no time management or respect for my time. finally they decided to change my therapist. however dr meena insisted on informing my parents in a five minute conversation for which she ended up charging one full hour fee.
