My son was having depression with severe behavioural change due to official stress with additional habit change such as smoking, drinking and eating non veg though we are vegetarian. He had suspicious thought that he was being persecuted by others. Because of this he was angry, never listen parents, beyond control, and quit his job.
Came to Dr. Gautham and is undergoing treatment for one and half years. When the medicine was started within short period found good change and became normal, began working again, and performing well. Suddenly he stopped taking medicine and had repeat attack and was out of control. . After admit in the hospital and continuous medicine he is perfectly alright. By Dr's help he went to Canada and was doing well. Again he missed his medicine and developed severe problem. He was treated in Canada but continued to have problems for nearly 1 year. He lost his job. We decided to bring him back for treatment with Dr. Gautham. For the past 3 months Doctor again gave very good medicines and at present he is doing fine.
Doctor is really great and understands parents and patient. His analytical way to treat with best results and no side effects is God's gift to us. But for Dr. Gautham's treatment my son's life would have been finished. Thank you Doctor.
I would advise to the readers:
1.to please take your medicines as prescribed by the doctor strictly.
2. To follow with doctor periodically.
3. Do not miss your medicines at ant cost.
My son has been under treatment with Dr. Gautham since 2012 and has no side effects.
The clinic set up is very nice and the waiting time is spent usefully understanding the brain and mind through videos being played. The staff are efficient and helpful. The charges are very reasonable for the services being provided.

My wife had anxiety disorder for a long time. It affected our personal life as well as her official life. Whenever we got into a fight (verbal) she will turn wild and start hurting herself. She could not take criticism constructively. Instead she will get angry and get into a depression mode. This will make her treat everything negatively. I did not understand that this was treatable. But my wife consulted Dr. Gautham without my knowledge.
Dr. Gautham prescribed medicines and counseling. Within 30 days of medicines a few sessions of counseling , I see drastic changes in her behaviour. The way she perceives things has changed. She is now able to handle things light heartedly, and does not get upset with criticism.
Now I wanted to meet Dr. Gautham. ***** ******* *** * **** **** ** *** ********* ****** ** *** *** ******** *** ******** *** ** *** **** ******* ******* ***** He listens to the patient and provides solutions.
The clinic is organized and patient friendly. Staffs are professional.
The counselors need special mention. They are empathetic and treat the patients problems as their own.
Overall an excellent doctor* *** **** * **** ***** with experience in handling complex issues. I am very pleased to post this review so that others can benefit.

I was suffering from anxiety issues for past 10 years and past 1 year my anxiety escalated and I started having life threatening symptoms everyday and I used to pray to save my life. I live in USA and tried treatment there but it did not work. I visited India and wanted to check a good psychiatrist and found Dr Gautham sir. I explained my condition and he suggested to have medicines. I was very concerned about medications and shy-ed away from taking medicines. I wanted to go back to USA and try treatment there. My family convinced take medications. Now I am happy they did. was able to see results immediately within 5 days. Now after 2 weeks I feel I got my life back. I cannot thank Dr Gautham sir enough. I am looking forward towards complete recovery from anxiety. I want/will provide my feedback after vining of the medications.

Visited For Alcohol Addiction
Not Inspirative. would guide u to an other women (termed as Counsellor). My idea/thought is that he himself is that counsellor/or the guy who motivates u. His statement is just "if u r willing to change, I could help" and of course he declares that he cant change my Will. My Question is if "I'm willing to change and if I could change the Will of myself, what is the need to go to him"..
And he will guide us to Counselor (Extra Charge). I went there in the thought of being counselled by him, what is the need of an additional counselor when he declared himself an Alcohol addiction Dealer too?
The Counselor,ofcourse had the pleasant smile and nothing apart from that. Cant explain more than that.
My feeling is that they are using all the ways to squeeze money from the resources.
Go to him,if u feel that u want someone to hear ur problems. But, I believe I could help u more than they can, but if approached Friendly.
The pay is 1500+1000: 1500 for Consultation+Medicine Charge, which is common, n gives me the feeling that How could that 1500 be constant for any case, (So, Basically the consultation charge would never be revealed). Even if u call the reception, they could barely understand English and reply u the same that it wld be "1500, for consultation and Medical" (irrespective of ur case). The additional 1000 is for Counselor (which is not Dr. Goutham itself). And thats just for that day. I was atleast notified in advance to pay 2500/- on my next meeting with the where he didnt got any purpose to meet meet me, except to guide me to a next unfruitful meeting with the counselor on the saturday where I have to pay 3000/- more\

Totally Disappointing!!
Went for loneliness and depression.First appointment with doctor lasted only 5-10 mins as it was crowded.The doctor advised me for four sessions of counselling(some other lady).She was not experienced and also not able to understand my problem.I expected a better one as I paid 7000rs. for four sessions.
Went for my second appointment with the doctor.I had to wait for 1.5hr as it was very crowded.The staff at the reception are also highly irresponsible.They will not provide bills and prescriptions unless until you ask them twice or thrice.Finally went to see doctor,the counselling lady failed to give my session reports to doctor(which she must have done).The doctor then told us to wait us outside as he called the counselling lady.The doctor then called us in and told that I am not co-operating and my case is closed.I was totally disappointed with this answer. The doctor never highlighted me in what way i was not co-operating.
*** ****** ***** **** ** *** ******** *** ** ********The consulting fees is 1700rs for each time.
The service they provide and the money they charge is highly unacceptable.
I have totally spent 9200rs. for my treatment,***** *** ** ** ****
Please try to avoid this doctor!!

I was very much worried about my brother's problem of oversleeping and hyper activity from past one year. After knowing about Dr. Gautham sir through internet that top doctor in India I brought my brother. In the first visit itself doctor instilled confidence in us by stating that "it is not a big problem, it would be cleared". As told by doctor I observed improvement in my brother's sleeping condition. Within a span of 20 days after using medicine without missing, we observed steady improvement. Thanks to the doctor for taking care like parents by cordial and necessary treatment in right direction that to in short time. After meeting doctor we felt blessed not only for treatment but also for the service being rendered by the doctor to the society through media talk shows in
TVs and interacting with people and creating awareness and further helping the people in the relief camps also. All the facilities at clinic are outstanding and all the staff are very much co operative. Charges are worthful , ***** *** ** *********** ****** We pray God that " the light of hppiness will to be continued in the form of Dr Goutham in several lives who were darked by psychological disorders for so many years. Thank you very much doctor
When I met Dr. Gautham for the first time I was very depressd, anxious with unexplained fear. Initially he gave me medicines of a week. On the first day of medication I started to feel the change. The mood swings, depression, anxiety everything has now gone. He is a magician. After meeting the doctor on the third visit today I feel like fully cured and I am much confident. The CBT is very helpful. No other doctor I have seen has taken so much care and given such effective medicine. I highly recommend Dr. Gautham for any type of behavioural, mental disorder. Clinical service is very good. The videos in the waiting hall is very informative. Clinic is very clean and the staffs are positive and very friendly. Thanks to Dr. Gautham and his team. Dr. approach is very friendly and he listen to the patient very carefully. On my first visit I had so many things to explain. But within 10 minutes he noted and observed all my problems *** ***** ******** ********* **********
Doctor slowly reduced the medicines and today I am completely well and doctor has stoped the medicibes. He changed my life and I am very happy now. People suffering from any kind of mental / behavioral problem please don't delay take treatment immediately.

Its been 3 years since I started treatment here . Doctor has been carefully monitoring my condition and adjusting and reducing the medicines dosage level. I am finally down to half tablet once a week. Today 19 Nov 2019 doctor has stopped the medicines. I wholeheartedly thank the doctor for the excellent care and treatment given to me
I came to Dr. Gauthamadas clinic 2016. I had problems like difficulty in speech, not able to sleep, and was in confusion doing my normal day to day work, feeling depressed and isolated for more than 2 years. I took some treatment but no change.. After coming here and taking treatment changes have happened. I have now got clarity in my mind, able to sleep well, and my memory has improved and I am speaking well.
The facility given in the clinic is good. They give the correct dosages of medicine taking my feedback into consideration. The doctor is very patient in hearing our problems and gives medicines accordingly. The charges are a little bit high but it is worth the money because you will feel a good change quickly.
I was having depression related problems since 2012. consulted 5-6 renowned doctors but were of no real help. i finally Dr Gautham Das though net search and after going through reviews, I finally consulted him and started treatment from him. Since then, my life started coming back on track again. Now i am feeling much better than the state I was in when I first consulted him. He is very caring, gives due attention in listening you..diagnose the real problem then starts the treatment which I found with the Doctors I consulted earlier. I cant explain the greatness in words but I really recommend anyone who needs help in terms of some psychological and psychiatric problems should consult him. he is good Doctor with vast experience and then on top of everything, he is a good human which I think is the key to any Good Doctor. I am really thankful to my stars that I found him when I really needed someone to help me in very terrible state I was in. Today after God, My Late Mother and my father, If I really worship anyone....He is Dr Gautham Das Udipi...
I always Pray that he remains always healthy and super fit and keep serving distressed patients the way he is doing now. God Bless him and his family and his near and dear ones.
