I have been experiencing conflict with friends and family members. After joining work, i realized that i am unable to focus on work as couldn't be cordial with my colleagues. With increased stress, i decided to take help. Dr. Chaudhuri very patiently explained me the problem. She showed ke how i was critical unintentionally and would have unrealistic expectations. With her sessions, i gradually saw improvement in my relations. I am now well adjusted at home and in workplace. I am really indebted to maam for being such a timely help and motivating factor in my life.

My child aged 10 years had major difficulty with communication. He could not speak for himself and was severely bullied in school. He also lost interest in studies and would feel fearful. After visiting Dr. Chaudhuri, she explained us the problems of our child in terms of expressive speech and helped us with mild medication. We were also suggested to provide supportive and non critical environment which really helped him. With social skills training and relaxation, my child is much better and is well adjusted in school. He also is performing well with academics. I really am thankful to Doc for her timely guidance and right directions. We strongly recommend her.
I am having premarital jitters and was gradually becoming confused about my decision related to the groom. After 3 to 4 months of courtship I began to feel low, anxious and could not sleep at all. Apart from apprehension related to post marriage responsibilities I also felt that we may not be compatible. When unable to deal with it anymore I went to the doctor. Within 3 sessions I started feeling composed and felt more confident about my decision. I could also sleep well. She gave medicine only for a short time and was a big help in my critical phase. I am very satisfied with the doctor and strongly recommend her.
got my child to Maam with serious behavioral issues. My child would hit other children in school and would be violent at home with minor arguments and if denied of any demands. He would also lie to me and would not listen to any of my instructions. Following maams advice, and mild medication I can manage him much better. He has completely stopped hitting. Prathama maam gave really simple suggestions which were easier for the child to follow. I am really happy with the progress of my child and would really recommend her.

I visited the doctor twice in NG Medicare. Extremely unprofessional attitude. Doctor's visit timing is 7PM-9PM on Saturdays. She walked in at 9PM and then rushed through giving just 4-5 mins to each patient. If a patient is accompanied by a family member, she is giving slightly more time. Since I was alone, she would barely listen.
The most unprofessional part is, she charges different fees from different patients. I was charged 800/- both days whereas when I asked all other patients, they were charged 700. There is no fee receipt or bill/invoice of any sort. It is not legal to charge differential fees from patients based on any prejudice.
Now, coming to the primary issue, the doctor prescribed 4 tablets in a day (12.5 mg + .25x3 mg) *** * ***** ******* ******** I took the medicines for 5 days *** ******** **** ***** ***** *** * ***** **** ******** *** **** ** ***** **** **** *** ************* After 5 days I visited her and told about the reactions, she only changed the medicines and told me lets experiment and find out if these suit you. She spoke to me for 2-3 mins and charged 800/- once again in the same week.
This is by far the most disappointing experience with any doctor that I have had. Complete wastage of time as waiting time is always close to 2 hours, and wastage of money.

I read up on DID online and felt that it was exactly what I was I was experiencing. I went to the doctor who listened to me patiently as I explained my issues and she was quite empathetic. She let me know more about my issue, explained the treatment process and what I could expect from it. She was quite thorough and after following the process for a while, I feel much better.
