I was suffering from stomach issues,i was unable to eat hence visited all the know gastroenterologist .this was going on since 10 to 12 years multiple endoscopy and hospitalization but no relief I was told am suffering from gastric problem . With no relief, irritation, loss of weight ,lac of sleep. The only good thing that one of the gastroenterologist did was telling me to see a physiatrist. My Wife read reviews about Dr Mohit Shah at unlimited potentialities Borivali, ( PHYSIATRIST). This was like a miracle that after 12 year I started liking food, I met doctor Mohit Shah he heard my concerns diagnosed me with abdominal migraine. Epic approachability shares a great camaraderie . I was super impressed when he personally took the initiative of feeding me with the 1st dose of medication at his clinic. I seldom see any doctor feeding his patient like a parent. The young handsome Doc was like saviour and within 10 days I was feeling Fit and my concerns were taken care off. This would be my first ever review for any Doctor but this man is worth a visit... Thank you Dr Mohit Shah
Visited For Anxiety Disorders Treatment

I have been seeing Dr. Mohit for the last 4 years. I went to him quite by accident as he used to visit a hospital near my house. The very first interaction with him gave me a feeling that I am working with the right person! I am a healthcare professional myself and therefore I was very cautious of his advice and the suggested treatment. But within the first 1-2 appointments I knew I was in safe hands.
One of the important aspects of medical treatment is 'shared decision making.' Dr. Mohit would never ever just prescribe or force a treatment upon me. I would ask questions, make suggestions, get all my queries resolved and then we would jointly arrive at a treatment, which was agreeable to both.
Unlike many 'prescription psyciatrists,' Dr. Mohit has given me a patient hearing until I had poured my heart out! This is a remarkable feature of a healthcare professional, particularly, a psychiatrist, for most of these patients need an "ear."
Over the years of working with Dr. Mohit my issues have resolved to a great extent. He has focused not only on the psychological aspects but also helped me with my physical symptoms by referring to appropriate specialists.
Dr. Mohit is a "just a call away" doctor and I can just pick up my phone and talk to him anytime. He is very approachable.
I would also like to mention that he has a very well trained and cordial staff that makes appointments smooth.
Lastly, I would sum it all and say.... Dr. Mohit is not just a doctor, but a real friend!
Loads of love, wishes, and gratitude!

My experience with Doctor Mohit has been profoundly helpful and successful. From the first appointment itself, I found him to be extremely patient, perceptive and understanding. He was able to grasp my situation ********** *** explained things to me calmly and clearly. The medication prescribed by him thankfully took effect almost immediately and without any trouble. Doctor Mohit is not only an awesome doctor but is also a great listener and is very friendly. I am therefore completely satisfied with my experience with him.

** ** *** **** ** **** *** *** ** ******* She had been suffering for such a long time and tried so many doctors and hospitals in Delhi, where she was living for 15 years. Nobody understood her problem. Some would give wrong medicines, which would affect her memory, while some would ask her to get admitted in the hospital for long term treatment. She remained untreated for many years, and would yell all the time. Dr. Mohit Shah was the first and only one who understood her case. His treatment strategy is so simple *** ************ ********** Just 2 tablets a day solved her problem completely. My wife who was always so scared of her, now says how much she has changed. Even she is so surprised and amazed at the difference. She is as if a completely new and totally healthy person. My wife now loves her and we both take care of her and give her lots of love. Thank you Dr. Mohit Shah for changing our lives so wonderfully.
Visited For Bipolar Disorder Treatment

I decided to see him after reading positive reviews here on Practo. I was referring to another psychiatrist before him but could not visit him regularly as his clinic is really far away from my house and hence I decided to see Dr. Mohit Shah. I suffer from Bipolar II Disorder and was given antipsychotics and other medicines for the same. On consultation with the former doctor, I was suggested a drug named asenapine. It had a severe side-effect on me namely akathisia. I tried calling Dr. Mohit Shah, but he paid no heed. Now, I understand that doctors have a personal life too and need some space but he either did not answer my calls or did not pay attention to my problem even though it was an emergency. *** ***** *** ** ********** **** * ****** ********* ********
When I tried discussing this problem in person, he simply said that I need to be more enduring. This went on for months and I somehow survived. I didn’t stop taking any of the drugs he prescribed as I wished to be an obedient patient and respect my doctor’s knowledge in this field. Also, I was scared that my situation would become regress if I stopped taking any of the medicines. At that time, I didn’t even know which drug was causing the said side effect.
I also experienced a kind of nocebo effect wherein I strongly believed that I was always dizzy and would fall down when say, crossing a bridge or climbing stairs. This, he called my drama which I performed in order to gain attention. On consultation with the other psychiatrist, I learned that even though my illness wasn’t exactly real but my symptoms very much were and required treatment for that.
I kept hope and despite all of this, kept seeing him until one day he got yelled at me for continuously consulting another doctor and that I should seek the other doctor’s advice instead of him. I had no choice. Every patient is entitled to a second opinion.
Also, I suffer from Borderline Personality Disorder *** *** ** ***** ********* ** ** ***
Visited For Anger Management
Hoped for better: Treatment satisfactionValue for money
I've made around 10-12 visits to the doctor for anger management and irritability issues in the last 4 months, but it was a complete waste of time and more than INR 20,000 of my money. ** ***** ** * **** ****** ** *** ********** ** **** *** * **** ******* ************ **** ********** *** ******* *** am struggling to get out of it. My father also visited him a few times, after which he gave up on his treatment and refused to treat him. He'd tell my father that he is okay while he told me that my father is not ready to come.
I trusted the doctor and visited regularly but I have ended up with only a negative impact. I feel no change in my irritability or concentration issues, rather I feel very disinterested in life and have become dull. ** **** *** ****** ***** ***** *** ******
I would not recommend the doctor to anyone.

I had visited Dr. Mohit Shah for anxiety issues which i thought would never go away. However, the doctor proved me wrong. I started feeling *** better within the first month of my treatment and after 3 months my anxiety was completely gone. I am extremely thankful to Dr. Shah for this. He is very patient and friendly. He gives very minimal medication and also advises on what lifestyle changes you need to make for quick recovery. He also explains you about your issue in detail and how he plans to treat you. He gives you confidence that helps you to recover faster. I would like to recommend Dr. Mohit Shah to anybody with anxiety and depression issues. ** ** *** *****

Dr Mohit Shah is a very friendly and professional doctor. I have been seeking his medical treatment and advice for a long time and have improved a lot over the years. He is always very welcoming and has been like an elder brother more than a doctor who was a guiding force giving me right counseling and medications. I was suffering from anxiety, depression and substance abuse when I showed the doctor and the results were very positive after the treatment. I advise anybody suffering from any sort of psychological illness or mental health problem to consult Dr Mohit Shah without any hesitation.

I had started with GERD like symptoms back in 2017, though the treatment of gerd did help to treat acidity and bloating but I developed breathlessness and that didn't seem to subside. My then doctor advised it could be panic attack. We did visit a psychiatrist then but to no avail. Then we went to lung function test sleep test and series of test all coming out clear. And all 8 doctors and given me anxiety related medicines
With the covid situation it just became worse. I decided I needed proper psychiatrist treatment and while Googling I came across Dr Mohit Shah and it was a blessing
He patiently heard all my past history and was so confident of the treatment I needed and within a month of his treatment i was not only out of my anxiety but instead very confident and ready to face job interviews.
In my last visit Dr Mohit Shah explained us that gastric problems, headaches, sleeplessness need not be physical. It may have deep down psychiatric conditions. And I am an example of this. Thanks a ton for your treatment I am a back to my confident self which I never thought would be reality.
I would recommend Dr Mohit Shah to anyone who relates to my story and suffering.
