I'm so glad that I decided to consult with Dr. Ruth about the issues I was facing. I was struggling with anger and emotional outbursts, which had started impacting other aspects of my life.I have visited Dr. Ruth multiple times so far. She is an excellent listener, shows empathy, and never judges. She diagnosed me with OCPD as the underlying cause of my anger issues.The medications she prescribed have been very effective, but more importantly, the counseling sessions have made a significant difference. We had lengthy discussions in a Q&A format, and the advice and tips she shared were very practical. I’ve been following them for some time now, and they have brought about many positive changes.It has truly been a life-changing experience with Dr. Ruth.

Dr Ruth is such a kind and gentle soul with love and warmth just emanating from her.
I was sceptical about psychiatrists but Dr Ruth never tried to pile meds upon meds or make me feel rushed. She always listens patiently, never complaining, never judging, never at once stopping to check the time. She has been of immensely great help to me. I can never be thankful enough to her. I reached out to her when I was at the lowest point in my life. And she has helped me rediscover my self and gain the much needed balance in my life. I definitely recommend her for anyone suffering from any mental health issues. If not the meds, Dr Ruth's kind words and positive aura will definitely heal you.
Her clinic is well lit and painted in gentle tones that soothe your eyes and make you feel comfortable. I've had a great experience every single one of my visits. Though I find it upsetting to talk about my problems, I look forward to my psychiatric visits just because I get to see and experience her positivity and graciousness. May God bless her helpful and loving soul.

We often ignore mental health either due to embarrassment or society pressure. I was in a really bad place , going through some tough crisis moments when I decided to seek therapy. It's been close to an year now from when I first visited Dr. Ruth, and I've to admit that she has helped me get through that time through medication and counseling when I was really struggling . She's been very clear and supportive. She tries to understand patient's situation and explains right course of action and corrective measures. I still visit her as some of my issues are still to be addressed but I am sure she would help me get through it. I highly recommend you to pay her a visit if you're going through something that you are unable to discuss with family or friends.

Doctor mam is extremely friendly and a very good listener. I went mainly for Adult ADHD diagnosis and treatment and am very satisfied with the treatment. To be honest I was kinda scared to go to a doctor but all of my fear was gone when I talked to her.
Mam patiently listened and addressed all of my concerns and mainly there wasn't any kind of negative judgement. I was also late for my appointment but mam was very forgiving about it. I am really grateful that I found doctor mam and would definitely recommend her to those seeking help regarding their mental health.

After my father's death, grandmother's death and a series of failed relationships, I've been struggling with depression and sleep issues. Finally after 10 years of suffering, my friend (who also has similar issues) referred me to Dr. Ruth. My first two visits were just me crying. Dr. Ruth made me feel comfortable and explained that my feelings were normal. She prescribed medication and also taught me breathing and relaxation techniques along with the proper way of dealing with my thoughts. She helped me to develop compassion for myself and have reasonable expectations. I learned to reason with my thoughts & feelings and deal with them constructively. Emotionally, I'm in a much better place now.

Dr. Ruth is kind as like her name. She always listens to my problems patiently and tries to genuinely satisfy them with solution. Ruth ma'am is polite and the thing I like most about her is she talks with me in hindi as I am not so comfortable with English: )
