Dr. Nahid Dave

I consulted Dr Nahid Dave from past one year and ongoing till now, for my mother who is suffering from schizophrenia.Doctor guided us at all times even in emergencies on telephonic consultation and in person consultations in clinic too.My mother's symptoms improved significantly she is free from most of the positive and negative symtoms of schizophrenia, and i can confidently say that the Doctor has expertise in treating schizophrenia.She patiently listened to all the concerns of my mother and also my observations of my mother and then suggested the best treatment, she was polite and calm,understanding had genuine empathy with my mother at every consultation.

I will recommend Dr nahid dave for anyone who is looking for treatment of psychiatric illness.Also as a individual person she is kind polite calm genuine and has a human touch towards patient.

Dr Nahid Dave is excellent with her diagnosis and gives appropriate medication. She explains symptoms, illness information, side effects very well and in a simple manner so it is easy to grasp. She is available to discuss effect of medication. Her manner is calming. I am very happy with the service.

This is the second time that I have consulted Dr. Nahid.

The first time I went to her was in 2020, for Depression.

And this time too I am consulting her for depression and Anxiety.

What I like about her is that apart from Medication and counselling, she encourages meditation,reading, sketching, music and specific writing exercises that not just help with dealing with Mental Health issues but also helps in discovering coping mechanisms for a lifetime.

Dr. Nahid is a very friendly and approachable person. She asked the most relevant questions and suggested treatment accordingly.

Dr Nahid was very understanding about what i was going through and has since helped me immensely in everyway possible with medication, therapy, tests.

Anxiety is real. And it creeps up on you slowly, so slow that you barely realize that you are deep in its clutches.

I was going through a lot of somatic issues since a year & I realized it cant just be mere misfortune that all these supposedly minor problems like acidity, insomnia, fungal issues were happening to me back to back. I realized that these were psycho-somatic problems & self diagnosed myself with Anxiety with a basic google search. I went to a popular psychiatrist in Vashi. He diagnosed me with Generalized Anxiety disorder and gave me a SSRI pill. Within 10 days I felt much better but soon I started having heart palpitations. It was so severe that I was scared to bits & decided post enduring it for a couple of days to go to the doc. Though he said that it is a possible rare side effect of the pill, he was convinced it was not so in my case & merely my disorder causing the palpitation. But who else knows your body better than yourself? I was not prone to palpitations ever in my life till this day & I mildly but affirmatively forward put this point in front of the doc. Very reluctantly he suggested that I could stop the pill for 2 days and see if the heart throbbing went & if not, it was my anxiety. I consulted my uncle who is a doctor too and he suggested I wait it out atleast 5-6 days for the medicine to completely drain out of my system & rejected the idea of a 2 day wait only. Indeed, 5-6 days later my palpitations became 0. I felt better overall & felt averse of popping anti depressant pills ever again. I took to yoga & meditation and I was back on track. But within 20 days of remission, I encountered a severe stressor in my life and I was back where I had started. The anxiety had come back! I went on practo for other doctors who could help me this time & came across Dr. Nahid Dave (a detailed post about her on qoura infact was the tipping point for me). I went ahead with my gut instinct despite me almost choosing to go to another senior doctor in Vashi. I count that moment as my good fortune & apt decision. This is because in psychiatry, Its not merely about diagnosis & experience but also about being compassionate about your patients worries, mindful of the overall situation & objective listeners who know what to listen & what to discard when we patients tend to vent out a plethora of worries (who else can we speak too afterall?). Dr. Dave asked me to take an MCMI test to be able to judge my personality better. As she started working ahead on me soon she too realised that I could not tolerate SSRI, SNRI class of medicines (we went through a few different med switches and each time my body reacted distastefully to the external serotonin boost). She said my last bet was the old skool Tricyclic antidepressant which also works for anxiety though not as swiftly as the SSRI, SNRI class. Luckily, this worked & I am better than before and on the road to recovery. The difference between the previous experience & with Dr. Dave was instead of treating my side effect complaints as the rambling of an anxious mind, she used my understanding and ability to describe my problem in depth as a tool to swiftly come to a judgement & move forward on the next alternative.

Dr. Dave has a warm feminine concern she exudes and hears us out well. She is young which is a big plus point as she connects better, is not piss bored of hearing people whine about their problems like most psychiatrist become post 12 years of practise and is technologically & medically updated and sound. I'm convinced that beyond knowing her subject inside out (being a gold medalist medical student), she is also a truly genuine and good human being. In my judgement she is very sharp & finds what she needs between your words, the things which will eventually heal you. * ***** *** **** *** ** *** **** ****** ****** *** **** **** ** **** * we are fortunate that she spares time to make tri weekly visits to the Vashi clinic besides her other commitments in Mumbai. She is a no-brainer recommendation from my end in Navi Mumbai hands down.

Also, I have been taking therapy from her clinics psychologist Mr. Sridhar Kulkarni. I would highly recommend him too for therapy. Its tough to comeby good therapists in Mumbai as it is but Mr. Sridhar has a very good way of objectively judging you & grasping your personality and accordingly working with you ahead. Also, the unique point being Dr. Dave & Mr. Sridhar work closely and keep sharing notes on your progress and observations (makes a big difference as they remember your case & are not just interested in having a long queue in their waiting rooms eventually asking you to repeat your problems in every visit to help them jog their memory).

Dr. Nahid Dave's clinic

appointment booking number respondant is prompt. Her pricing is competitive to others in Vashi.

She is responsive on text via whatsapp on need basis & I have found that to be sufficient during all my text based concerns.

As a parting note, I would like to tell you that dont give up on life or yourself. Healing is possible, get qualified help soon! Anti-depressants are great if they help you get back on track. You are not alone, so get help and get back to the life you deserve. Now smile & book your appointment :)

I was not well for few weeks, first was down with fever and then was being treated for Vitamin deficiencies. I also had started experiencing sweating, increased heart beat and had gone to multiple doctors but the situation was not improving. Then i planned to consult therapist Dr.Nahid and after first few appointments which included counselling, she understood the root cause of the symptoms and suggested me a medicine. I was apprehensive about taking the medicine but she assured me that it's non addictive and i will be well very soon. I took the treatment, started practicing yoga and meditation as per her recommendations and things were back to normal very soon. I started experiencing difference in a week's time and was perfectly fine within a month. I will suggest to everyone who is experiencing stress, anxiety or any other psychological disorder to visit Dr. Nahid once. She is very empathetic, friendly and passionate about her work. Also, to anyone reading this - It's okay to be not okay. Let's just put an end to this stigma about psychological disorders and step out or help others to do so and get over it.

I want to appreciate myself to take decision to consult my problem with a specialist like Nahid. By god’s grace I got the right support system on right time to recover quickly.

There are many Doctors in our surrounding, who do just treatment for their patient. I personally feel that the possibility of relapse is higher on such a way. Dr. Nahid helped me to understand the root cause of my problem and made me educated enough to choose the right track to come out from complexity.

Her guidance and suggested therapies were extremely helpful and at the same time all those can be considered as life changing mantra for anybody. Her passion and dedication to her work were extremely visible when she was doing my treatment. In addition to her offline support is always available whenever it is needed. I never felt helpless through out the tenure when I was under her supervision.

Her time management skills, patience to listen and motivational words were really influential and it was really an additional learning for me.

It is my pleasure to recommend Nahid as very influential Dr. for our society. I am thankful for the support what I got from her through out my tough phase and help to become a better individual. I want to wish her success in future, what she really deserves.

When we were searching for the best psychiatrist. Our criteria was the higher qualification and the total years of experience. We shortlisted Dr. Nahid Dave as we found she is the highly qualified and also Gold Medalist. As her total experience was not that much so we were not very confident. But, After meeting we found her very pleasant and warm person. We were nervous. But, Dr Nahid Dave made us very comfortable with her warm and friendly nature. I was still doubtful about her perfection. But, the way Dr Nahid Dave listened and understood our problems, analysed the root causes, explained whole things and assured the treatment, all my doubts were vanished. Each time, we met Dr Nahid Dave, our condition was improved. No doubt, medicines must have played the role; but, we also felt positive improvement immediately after we met Dr Nahid Dave because of her positive vibes. Within few months we experienced ourself so normal that we realised it was really a psychiatric condition which we were suffering from last few years. Dr Nahid Dave slowly tapered our doses and soon stopped all medicines. Initially, we had many questions, doubts, and worries about our problems. But, it was really good decision that we thought to meet her. We found Dr Nahid Dave is very knowledgeable, expert in understanding and curing the psychiatric problems. We also found Dr. Nahid Dave is very kind and down to earth in nature, also, very pleasant and friendly person. We are very very grateful to Dr Nahid Dave because of her, now we are very happy and have no problems.

I will give 10 out of 10 because the way she takes care about my friend problem it's a really very great work done by her.
