Been going here for years... Never really had many issues of course waiting 35 minutes to an hour after your scheduled appointment is time consuming and makes it hard to find a ride. However I have had good communication experience with the psychiatrist and the councilors that have come and gone. Although it may not seem worth three stars in my opinion its all about the communication with any type of doctor.

Wonderful ! I have been seeing Dr. Wadhwa for thirteen years now. She is truly a genuine and knowledgeable doctor. Her office staff are always helpful and accommodating.

I have ADHD&depression and made an appointment for medication management after my old doctor left her practice, as the location was more convenient than my old location. I fully expected to provide the documentation of my testing/diagnosis for adhd, and wouldn't ask for a prescription without it. However, I DIDNT expect to be treated the way I was during the appointment. My doctor continued to bring up the fact that she wouldnt prescribe without my records, even after I told her that I'd provide them before I needed a new prescription, to the point that it felt very accusatory. She asked why I made an appointment before my current script ran out (again, I didn't ask for her to renew my meds before my current script ran out, I just made the appointment so I wasn't waiting until the last minute). She continually brought up the fact that I was previously on anti-anxiety medication to treat panic attacks for a short period of time following a traumatic incident in the past, even though I told her that I no longer needed it, wasn't asking her to prescribe it and hadn't used it in a long time (again, I would understand establishing a medical history, but she repeatedly returned to the topic). She emphasized the fact that I would need drug testing in order to get my medicine (not something I've had to do in the past, but again, not a problem. I dont abuse my medication). I understand establishing a history before prescribing controlled meds, but no other doctor in the past has ever made me feel so uncomfortable. There is a way to do this without shaming your patients.nnAfter all that, I brought up the subject of switching off of a stimulant-based ADHD medication to a non stimulant based ADHD medication. I told her the medication worked, but had unpleasant side effects, which are specific to the stimulant medication. She told me that all medications have side effects so there was no reason to try a different medicine if the one I was on was effective. I would understand if there was a specific reason that she thought it wasn't right for me, but the idea that I shouldn't try to avoid side effects which have a major impact on my life just because everything *might* have side effects is absolutely ridiculous.

Mike is the best! He has provided counseling to my son for 5+ years!

As a patient with Drs Asthana and Wadhwa for over 16 years, I have always been treated with respect. There occasionally is a wait to see Dr Wadhwa but when its my time , I don't feel rushed.
