I have been visiting Dr.Venkateshwar Rao Deshineni garu for OCD issues. My treatment journey with him started after an extensive search and research about a good doctor in my area in this related field. I have narrowed down my choices and visited all of them. I am extremely happy that I chose Dr. Venkateshwara Rao garu as my Psychologist. The psychologists I have visited prior spent little time to understand the problem but jumped on treatment and treamtment costs. So, I was little hesistant and worried meeting Dr.Venkateshwar Rao garu. But to my surpise, my first appointment gave me enough confidence to move on to further sessions. He knows how to make the patient comfortable and get as much information as possible. He is unlike others by not jumping into treament + costs associated to beging with. He explained me all the possible treatment options and cost and the time it would take. He set the expectations very clear before I move forward. Interstingly every session, starts with very casual conversation about things happening around. In my opinion, this is the best way to make anyone comfortable before you starting the actual counselling. So far, I made great progress with his counselling techniquies. I can't thank him enough for the special, excellent care he has been providing.

Dr Venkat is the doctor with excellent accomodative nature towards councelling seekers,after other doctors preliminary asessment which eases the counselling seekers.
Clinics excellent way of cognitive testing method is very reliable and
qualified and recognised proffessional method it seems.

Clinic's cognitive asessment made my doubts clear of cognitive ability, and real time result of test is proven that external intake of thyroid hormone does work equally as natural.
I am filled with rejuvenation as the result is satisfactory for my upcoming endeavours.
