Dr. Raghavendra Siragavarapu, MD

Why do we spend an hour filling out all of the intake paperwork if it doesn't even get glanced at? I went in complaining that my ADHD meds were losing effectiveness. He did not address these concerns at all, wanted to put me on a 'stronger' anti-depressant (for what reason??? I wouldn't know, he didn't tell me), OH and flippantly brought up my past trauma when I had met him 10 minutes prior, asking in depth questions about it, that I was SUPER uncomfortable talking to a literal stranger about.

Everything I read in the reviews has been the exact complacent neglectful interaction I had with him, for all of four minutes And my son was on suicide watch at the hospital. Twenty years experience certainly is not apparent. I would assume he medicated without care to know any relevant details. He certainly did not contact me for pertinent information about previous medication to determining what’s best for my son. Nor would he bother to answer a single question. He’s a common reflection and example of a very broken mental health system.

I saw Dr Raghu twice. I was in his office the second time for 10 minutes for medication management if you want to call it that. I called to reschedule an appt a week ahead I had a work engagement, I left 2 messages with no call back. When I got a call to confirm my appt I said I would not be able to make it, I would need my klonapin refilled. They said Dr Raghu doesn't do refills without coming in. In the meantime I ran out, he refused to fill my medication. bad business practice. I'm suffering.

I do not think this doctor cares for patients. He is my son's psychiatrist, but he prescribe meds without providing reasons, never talks to family, and does not seem patient with questions.
