Dr. Meena Gnanasekharan

Dr Meena is a charm , Poorva , Rachna were helpful and hope continuing visits . They addresses the issue in a professional way but the fees can be a little reasonable as we continue to become a regular patient .

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!

**** ** *** * **** ***** ** ** *** **** **** ****** ***** 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.

there is absolutely no respect for the patients mental health or money in this place. the therapist and dr meena were always busy with other things and never made time for my treatment despite this they charged us an exorbitant amount.

Most non empathetic doctor I have met in my lifetime

Charges 3000 for consultation and spend 10 mins with you. And she keeps cutting u off to take her phone calls.. twice in 10 mins..

She has no inputs to provide when u explain ur condition.

She just says u need counselling ..meet a counselor and had no inputs whatsoever to help the patient cope with the condition. She recommends her team ** ****** ******* ** ***** ********** ( where u have counsellors who charge a bomb and keep looking at their watch during ur session)

Terribly disappointed with her attitude, methods or conversation. Wat a bad misuse of my time and money. I will never recommend her to anybody. Especially somebody who needs help should refrain from meeting this over expensive, non empathetic doctor.

We meet the doctor by paying the fees of 2600/- and the first question she asked how long are you in Bengaluru , since we were from different state and said about 2-3 weeks she was least interested to listen or understand us. I tried to reach on her no. in case and she does not respond until she believes she can draw money from patient. She says she only speaks English and did even tried listening to patient or understand. Very arrogant *** **** ******** ******* Please don't visit her and spend money ** *** **** *** **** ****** *** *** ***** *** ********* ** ********* *** *** **** **** **** ** ******* *** ********** **** ******* ******

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.

That said, I should also mention that their fee is a little high, especially when consultations are recurrent, but they probably have their reasons. Nevertheless, I do think they can come up with ways to make their services more affordable and hence more accessible.

I was giving an appointment time for 1:15PM so when someone gives you a time I'm assuming it's based on availability but guess what Doc was not there and the wait was just too long. Never mind post 1:15PM and 45mins later I get to finally meet the doctor.

I'm not sure how are you going to improve wait time when doctor is only not present at the facility.

Never mind, * ******* *** ***** ****** I'm more interested in counselling over prescription. I have a mental issue **** *** ** ******* **** ******** ******* **** ** *** * ****** ***** *** ** ***** * **** ** ****** *** I got to believe it to live it.

What is surprising is I rescheduled my appointment with the counselor at this facility. But I haven't got any message about my upcoming appointment. Never mind Meena, didn't accept any fee for seeing me as I pressed upon the fact that I wanting to talk to a counselling over taking medication.

For rest of you remember what you want before walking into something like this a psychiatrist are the ones with a prescription of drugs and a counselor is the only with words.

I hope this helps.

Will never recommend dr meena to anyone * **** ******* ** ****** *** *** *** ******* ** ***** ** *** ***** ****** ****** *** ***** *** ***** ** * **** ** ** *** ** ***** * ***** ***** ***** **** ********* ** ** * ****** ** ** ******* ********** **** ** *** ** **** **** ** *** * ** ****** ******* ***** *** ********* *** ** ***** All she did was write up some medication and do breathing exercises **** * ********* ********** Please do yourself a favor and find a better doctor.

Dr. Meena provides a courteous, empathetic, non-judgemental, and ofpen minded environment, with just the right combination of professional and friendly.

In the past, I have been to several other psychiatrist's, all of whom I found to be proud, superficial, brash, lacking empathy and unprofessionally dismissive, on the contrary Dr. Meena is truly a

breath of fresh air. I found psychotherapist Smitha to be equally fantastic. Kind as a friend and intuitive so as to root out your most profound issues. I have been looking for a therapist like Smitha for years. Her therapy adapts to your needs, might it be flexible or structured.

For all of us who think we can't find a doctor and therapist empathetic, flexible, and perceptive enough, you'll find them both at ReACH psychiatry, in psychiatrist Dr. Meena and psychotherapist Smitha.

In general the staff here is friendly and considerate. Two thumbs up!!!!! I totally recommend these place, doctor and therapist.

I had to wait for an hour to meet the doctor and when finally my turn came she just spoke with me for 2 mins and prescribed medicines and sent me off quickly. She spent more than an hour with the previous patient and she was not even willing to spend 10 mins with me. As soon as I told her my symptoms she just prescribed the medicines and finished with the diagnosis. She didn't ask me any questions. She charges Rs. 2000/- for 2 mins!!!!

She didn't even want to know what the exact problem is. It was really a very bad experience.
