RAJAKUMAR THOTAKURA, MD REVIEWS

I have been a patient of Dr. T’s for 14 years. He is an incredible psychiatric physician. He is very thorough and so caring. He was exactly what I needed at a time in my life where someone didn’t sugar coat anything. He was very a matter of fact. He knew so much about addiction and it was obvious how much he cared and he worked very hard to find a plan of action for me. And I needed someone who told me like it was. He has grown on me considerably through the years. He knows me so well and has gotten to know my family through me. He has always worked to find the right medication for me. I always look forward to my visits with him. I would highly recommend Dr. Raja Thotakura.

I had tried other Dr's who just added more pills until I felt like a zombie. Dr. T was the first Dr that really got to understand me and take the approach of less medication is better. I have been on the same med for two years now and have my life back thanks.

Sometimes you have to wait awhile and they have major schedule mess ups but the Dr's are great. I've been going a few years to see 3 of them and have had good experiences with them all.

HUNTER STORY, MD REVIEWS

Dr Story always listens intently to the issues going on in my life. He really seems to care for his patients as a whole person and not just as their mental illness. He helps to take away the shame much of society puts on us simply for having disorders that we have little control over and certainly did not ask for.

Dr. Story is one of the most kind and compassionate doctors I’ve had. He listens with compassion and respect and it’s obvious that he cares. You could not ask for a better doctor. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Story is excellent! He listens without judgment. Very understanding. He's easy to talk to. I feel very comfortable and confident with him with my psychiatric needs.

REBECCA S. VALLA, MD REVIEWS

I have been a patient of Dr Valla's since she first evaluated me nearly 12 years ago. She shows me genuine concern and compassion during our visits. It's my experience that Dr Valla is somewhat conservative when prescribing medication. She does present with a holistic view consisting of mind, body and spirit. I trust her 100% with my care and can say that she has indeed played a major role in my healing process. Furthermore,I feel she hears my concerns as she always returns my calls atleast by the end of the work day. I would and I DO recommend her to anyone in need of a psychiatrist.

I've been going to Dr Valla for 15 years now. She is very compassionate and knowledgeable. She takes time to truly listen and is the only doctor that I trust with my care. She is also very easy to contact and reach in cases of crisis. She readily returns your phone calls.

Offered helpful, pointed support and frameworks for healing and growth. Although counseling is a personal journey for each person, I highly recommend Dr. Valla.
