I visited the doctor at a time when I was very disturbed and felt like I had no control on my thoughts, emotions and reactions. I had anxiety issues and trouble sleeping.
What I really liked about the doctor was his keenness to understand the root cause of my problems (insisting on describing experiences I have had since childhood). The sessions with him usually were for an hour, there was no rush from his side to finish up fast to cater to other patients. He gives you his complete time and attention.
The medication worked very well for me and he insisted on having multiple sessions to understand my recovery rate and suggested other coping strategies to me (yoga, meditation, exercise, thought control) for my anxiety and anger issues.
I loved his style of treatment and would definitely recommend him to people who are looking for help.

I have done counseling with Dr Shreedhar for my prolonged depression and anxiety issues after being referred by my psychologist. I am posting my experience after been in treatment for 5 months with him. Dr Shreedhar is very polite and has deep understanding and experience of his work.I was very scared initially for the treatment and medicines but in the first session itself I knew that I am at the right place.I was having high depressive and anxiety issues since 4 years accompanied with high suicidal thoughts in recent times.In the course of 5 months by god's grace and with the help of Dr Shreedhar i am standing straight ready to take all challenges, with increased confidence and faith in my self worth, i am looking forward to live a new good life. After seeing him, i have great changes in my perspective towards life. I would highly recommend him for any sort of psychological issues, he will understand you completely. His all time smiling face and wonderful vibes won't give you a slightest hint that he is a stranger for you. He is very helpful, understanding and polite. He will take care of the proper dose of medicines and that you don't become dependent on it, he will decrease the doses with time as he sees the improvement and will guide you with other beneficial methods also to overcome anxiety and depression naturally. I want to thank him a lot for changing my life and giving me the will to live again.
Dr. Shreedhar has guided my treatment for past 18+ months and I have immensely benefited across this time period.
Dr Shreedhar advocates conselling as remedy along-side medication.Dr Shreedhar's personality makes it very comforting to have a conversation with him. With genuine intent of helping his patients, Dr. Shreedhar's approach is to seek out the root of the problem. While doing so, he can be characteristically direct in asking questions. However, conversation with Dr Shreedhar is always a DIAlogue. The doctor is patient while listening and attentive to your response. He is generous with explainations. Very prominently, the Dr. takes special care that you have clarity about the illness (or the issue you are facing) as well as about the treatment and what the treatment entails. His explanations are in clear and simple words. He is conservative while prescribing medication.
I look forward to significant improvements for myself by completing my treatment with Dr. Shreedhar. I would gladly recommend Dr. Shreedhar to anyone in need of psychiatric assistance.

I would recommend Dr shreedhar any day
My life has become so much better after taking his treatment and advices.
I started consultation with doctor Shreedhar when I was going through grief and a very low point in life. Dr.Shreedhar was very patient and tried to understand the the root cause of my problem through my childhood experiences. He helped me understand myself, my emotions, thoughts and my responses to those. In six months time I have learnt to cope and deal and come to terms with my circumstances and make the best out of them and be at peace with myself. It has definitely made my life easy and improved my quality of life. Now under his guidance I feel confident and equipped to deal with my feelings, emotions and thoughts and enjoy life better.
