I’ve been consulting Dr. Poornima for ADHD, mood regulation, and related issues, and my experience has been very positive.
She listens carefully and does not rush the consultation. More importantly, she takes symptoms seriously without overpathologizing normal human struggles. The approach has been practical, structured, and evidence based. Medication changes were gradual and well explained, with close attention to side effects and real world functioning, not just textbook outcomes.
What stood out for me is that she is open to detailed discussions. She encourages honest feedback, adapts the treatment plan based on what is actually working, and does not dismiss concerns or questions. Over time, I’ve seen meaningful improvements in focus, emotional regulation, sleep, and overall stability.
If you’re looking for a psychiatrist who is calm, thoughtful, and collaborative rather than dismissive or overly prescription focused, I would strongly recommend her.
Dr Poornima is a friendly and good heart Medical and psychological expert. I consulted many specialists like neuro, nephro, gastro, cardio and internal medicine for the last one year to rule out my health related issues but finally the Gastroenterologist suggested to meet Dr. Poornima.Dr poornima spent one hour accessing my health issues and diagnosed my sufferings in the first consultation itself. it's been five months now, my mind and body is in control with the initial dosages. Right from day one of consultation, I am occupied with a day to day schedule with slight changes in my energy level in the morning but I am doing good. The busiest Dr., remembers every patient's name easily and calls them by name on their second visit. Her way of caring for the patient reminded me that she is my sister. The Dr suggested me for a few exercises to calm myself and it has given me strong confidence in having a healthy life. I strongly recommend Dr. Poornima is an excellent Dr. and an on-the-spot healer for any kind of mental stress.
I was suffering from very bad depression and feeling very low in my life , was crying so much , I approached mam 2 months back, she was very friendly, she understood my problems, she was very empathetic. Now I feel much better in my life and I’m happy that I got consulted from her. Thank you mam😊
I am taking treatment from the doctor. I was suffering from depression and ocd. *** ** *** **** ****** * **** **** **** She is very friendly, co-operative and caring. I used to cry often before taking her treatment. I had many episodes of panic attacks before treatment. Now I am doing very well. She was always available, understanding the needs of a depressed patient. Apart from medicines, she suggested me many other life style changes which helped me to cope up with my problems. My level of accepting the life as it is has increased to next level. May God bless her.
I had been taking my treatment for past 3 months and have seen lot of difference in myself. I m recovering at a good rate.
The journey with Dr. Poornima was really memorable and thanks a ton Dr. For the way you handled my child during the crucial period. We were stuck when she was first diagnosed for anxiety and depression, but thanks to Dr. Poornima, my daughter has recovered completely now and is very good and happy, Thank you once again.

Dr Poornima is very talented and approachable.
Daughter is taking treatment from past 3 months and improved alot. Can see the changes in her.
Before meeting dr, she was moody and always not interested to do anything.
Dr helped me to do more activities and gave her a moral support. And now she is doing well in her studies too.
Thank you Dr Poornima 🙏
