Approached the doctor for second opinion to treat my teen son who has been sleeping excessively in phases. The doctor listens carefully, understand the problem, prescribed medicines and has been very caring throughout the course of the treatment.
Every instances irrespective of time, whenever I tried to contact the doctor she responded well and constantly monitoring the health of my son.
It is really difficult to get such doctors these days. I'm really thankful to the doctor & pray for her bright future.

I have had 2 visits for my Anxiety and panic attacks. The doctor is very understanding, caring and devotes the much needed time to understand the patient and the environment that has resulted in the so called disorder.
In my 2 visits I'm already seeing an improvement because of medication and guidance the doctor has provided.
Rome was not built in a day so one should understand that cure doesn't happen overnight, Stay focused ... Stay positive ... Turst the doc and the medication and you will see positive results.
Definitely recommend Dr Purnima to others for anxiety and depression
Hope this helps :)

* ***** *** ** *** **** *** ******* ***. I was treated during Covid holidays, in dec 2020- when not even a single psychiatrist was ready to give an offline treatment. Understanding patient’s perspective + giving the patient his/her space to heal has been her priority and has given me as a patient clarity about my journey of becoming healthier mentally.

Dr Purnima is a very professional doctor. She is very caring for her patients. I have been to her for Depression, she has taken care very well. My mom also feel relaxed once she has a word with the doctor.
She had scolded me for being lazy and not doing my day today duties and responsibilities as a mother. She is just like caring Mom

The initial sessions were good.. But then she turned out to be a rude doctor who did not understand the patient at all and went on to give her on views and impose rules ***** **** *** ******** ********* ***** ******* ** * ***** ****** *** * *** ** ********* It was totally unethical of a doctor to be so rude and not care about the mental state of the patient. Bad experience.

Her conduct with patients is commendable, it takes away all the pressure & wrong notions you have of visiting a psychiatrist in the first visit itself. She also checks if the patient is doing okay & if the medications need any alterations. She's patient enough to listen for a long time which also is a very rare & underrated quality.

I started my treatment with Dr. Purnima 6 months for anxiety and depression. Through her counseling and effective treatment methods I already feel much better. She motivated me to make the necessary changes in my life and helped me work through my issues. Her open mindedness, friendly nature and expertise of her field make her an excellent counselor.

Dr.Purnima K arkhanis is an excellent pshycratic doctor
par excellence.She has the greatest and remarkable quality to give much needed time to a patient.She listens patiently and carefully for 30-40 minutes and then gives
