I rank Dr Samir Parikh as 'OUTSTANDING'. My wife's condition was serious when we first visited the doctor 3 years back. Now she has completely recovered. Its most imp to take prescribed medicines regularly and come for review as per advice. Thank you doctor.

Worst treatment. Always in a rush to write prescription without even letting a patient even complete.My condition worsened *** ***** ******** **** ******* ***** ** *** *****Had even to quit my MBA.His session never lasts for more than 5 minutes.He displayed no empathy or even any words of caution listening of my contemplated suicide (yes while on his meds for a long time) and prescribed the same meds again.Once when I asked some details about OCD, the man right away walked out of the room ending,his already concise session,abruptly.What I have felt during this one year of his treatment,he has no concern for a patient.

I am not at all happy with this doctor. He never talked much, never gave time, and I didn't feel comfortable enough to talk about my issues with him. Not just this, he kept prescribing me some medicines that I took for 2 whole years! *** **** **** ** ** ******* ************* *** I could not openly tell him because he never asked , and he never talked to me in private, always had my dad or brother around. I did not want to disclose some things in front of them. So I kept suffering in silence until one day I decided to end it all by overdosing. I had given up on hope of getting better. But I got rescued by a friend, and was taken to the hospital, where I met a new psychiatrist, who completely changed my view. Besides treating me while I was in the ICU, he talked to me and let me share everything I was thinking, and gave me powerful advise and tips. He is very professional and moreover, he prescribed me very very few drugs, which really helped me, *** * **** *** ****** ********* **** **** ******** ********
