Dr. Sarika Manoli

I would like to start off by thanking Dr Manoli for her patience and all the help she offered during my recovery process.

I am an alcoholic for the past 15 years. I sought Dr Manoli's help about 6 months ago when my life experiences began to spiral down. I work in Enterprise IT Sales and alcohol is the de-facto lifestyle quotient, be it for client meetings, or to recover from a bad day at work or even to celebrate our wins and down our sorrows. Slowly i was getting dragged down the spiral as i was drinking myself to sleep everyday.. and was not able to offer any support to my family by being there for them emotionally..

Since the time i have met with Dr Manoli i have been sober for over a month wherein earlier my best was between 3-5 days, at a stretch. Now i have gone from a sel-fish prick to a caring father and a doting husband, also a responsible son for my parents. I am able to control my drinking habit and be present for all those that love and care for me.

Essentially i was able to attend to things that matter most whilst also restoring a much needed balance in my life.

For all those out here complaining about wait times, i would like to remind you of the old adage "Good things come to those who wait". At-least that's been the case in my experience.. Also you don't go see a psychiatrist for stomach ache which can be cured overnight.. these things take time..

Key takeaway being, have a little patience and i assure you, you will get all the help you need.

Wishing you all a speedy recovery!!

And lastly "Thank you Dr Manoli!!"

**A Journey to Understanding and Healing**

When I first walked into Dr Sarika's office, I was overwhelmed and uncertain. I had been struggling with symptoms that I couldn't quite understand. From our very first session, the doctor made me feel at ease with her warm and empathetic approach.

She listened intently as I described my experiences, and with her expertise, she was able to diagnose me with ADHD and depression. This diagnosis was a turning point for me. It was as if a fog had lifted, and I could finally see the path ahead more clearly.

She provided me with a comprehensive treatment plan that included practical strategies to manage my symptoms. Her guidance has been invaluable, helping me to navigate daily challenges and improve my quality of life.

What truly sets Dr Sarika apart is her inclusivity. As a member of the LGBTQ community, I have always sought a therapist who understands and respects my identity. she creates a safe and welcoming environment for all her clients, regardless of their background or identity. Her sensitivity and respect have made a significant difference in my therapy journey.

Through her support, I have made tremendous progress. I am more confident, more in control, and more hopeful about the future. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled mental health professional.

Went for a family member's consultation. Extremely frustrating and dissapointing behaviour. The doctor does not have any respect for others time. The staff doesnt have any clue about her whareabouts either. For the first visit, I had to wait for more than an hour..she seemed to be in a hurry when I was talking about the patient..constant disruptions by answering her mobile and then a recommendation to come back. The second trip was worse. She might be a good doctor but didnt get an opportunity to comment on her skill.

Our experience in doctor's Sai neuropsychiatry clinic was below average and frustrating.

We felt that our 3 year old son was a little slow in learning things and consulted the doctor to know what we can to do make things better.

Doctor suggested to get our son evaluated and took us through a questionnaire on 21st September. It's 18th October today; despite of calling the clinic multiple times we are still waiting for their evaluation report to be given to us.

When we asked them that once you hand us the report will there be any followup session to discuss the report they told us to book another appointment for that.

I find their behavior extremely ******** *** unprofessional towards their patients.

I would not recommend anybody to go to this clinic.

I would say that i have been very lucky to reach doctor sarika for my treatment. I have been visiting doctor Sarika for 2 years now and i must say i have improved a lot. Thanks a lot doctor for that. Only thing to consider while visiting the doctor is waiting time which is unexpected. I do not blame doctor for this as time taken by patient is not fixed and varies depending on individual case. She takes very keen interest in each case and even spends more than an hour sometimes if required. I personally have no issues with that as same thing goes for me as well.

I would like to add that i had also visited some big names around for my treatment but i would highly recommend Dr Sarika. I do not want to put my all painful experiences from other doctors but one of the experience which never gets off my mind is that a doctor which just spares u 5 minutes for 1000 Rs and even charge u another 1000 if you want to discuss more. And even after consulting that doctor for 6 months when u Didn improve at all if you enquire the doctor he gets angry and says things i cannot put here.

In short, i strongly recommend Dr sarika as i found her genuine, does not prescribe unnecessary medicines and makes every effort to cure the patient.

Thanks

I admire her and respect her because if I am still alive she's the reason. I was about to commit suicide and put a message to her @2am in the night and she called back trying to convince me that the solution is not suicide and you don't need the courage to do that. She dragged the call deliberately so that I should come out that momentary panic attack.finally I went on to bed as I realised that more than me there are others praying for me everyday like my mother and father. I never thought what will happen to them if I do that and my mother may not come out that trauma and I will kill her along with me.Thanks doctor and will always remember that night and helping me to come out that madness.

I have bipolar and depression, most of the doctor in Bangalore couldn’t able to find out but she came to know within 15-20 minutes of counselling. I am taking the tablets almost past 3 year and now I don’t have any problem. She had given enough time to understand my problems not like others doctor who will give you the medicine without listening your problems. She had given the proper counselling which help me to come out of the depression. She is always preparing the notes from first day till now which help her to remember everything about patient after referring it and you needn’t to explain it again. I referred two of my friends and both had given the positive feedback about her. Hence I think for Nero problem, she is really expert and I recommend others to consult with her.

Extremely patient to listen to what the patient has to say, and makes me feel really comfortable to open up about anything. I've visited multiple psychiatrists/psychologists over two years, in different cities. She is the only one I could stick to, and I regularly consult her even today, when I'm not in Bangalore. I have been extremely happy with the treatment. She has listened to all the experiences I had to talk about, asked​ relavant questions when required and rightly diagnosed things. Helped me even with letting me know what steps my parents should take, to understand the whole thing and deal with it. In short, everything I could ask for.

I went to several doctors before this - each had a medicine to give. They would either 1) not work or 2) stop working after 15-20 days or 3) severe side effects. By the time I found Dr. Manoli I was in dire straits.

First thing that strikes you is her attention to detail and patience in listening/understanding. She explained that this is due to a chemical imbalance and I should stop thinking, "I can just will myself into healing holistically". That was significant for me at the time. She got me on yet another medicine - but this time it worked! Worked like a charm, minimal side effects. She also encouraged me to continue with CBT with a psychologist (as opposed to some doctors that solely rely on medication). My life returned to normalcy within a month or two and I've been a very happy camper since. It won't be a stretch to say that due to Dr. Manoli I got a new lease. Over the years I still make occasional appointments so keep the prescriptions updated and peripheral issues.

She's my goto for all problems money can't solve :)

I visited this doctor for grief counselling after a major life event, and counselling with her has been one of the things that has genuinely helped me get my life back on track.During the sessions she would listen to me speak at length and then provide insights that were super helpful. Within a couple of sessions I realized how useful and effective her insights were compared to other counsellors out there.What I really liked about the sessions were that they were action oriented. During each session she would provide me a few insights and one tiny action item that I could act on before the next session.The insights were powerful because they helped me understand what I was going through and the action items helped me act on what was happening so and make changes to my life.Her counselling has helped me immensely and over time she has become one of the few doctors and individuals that I genuinely trust! I have also recommended her to multiple colleagues and friends.I would not hesitate to say she is by far one of the most ************** effective, empathetic, genuine and ethical doctors out there!
