Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent Psychiatrist!! He listened and calmly explained why I might be feeling depressed after being free from depression for at least 10 years. I am now feeling back like my old self, thanks to Dr. Lakdawala. I would highly recommend him!!!

I have been seeing Dr. Lakdawala for anxiety/mood disorder for 5 yrs. At first I wasn’t sure how I felt, but after my first year, I became COMPLETELY comfortable with him. He asks how I think my meds are working, VALUES my answers, and even listens to my input when I ask if we can change/try different medicines that have worked for me in the past. He listens to me way more than my past psychiatrist, who told me that she was only there for my meds, that I needed to see my psychologist to talk.

I would NEVER recommend this office to anyone, besides maybe my worst enemies. These people are charging me for visits I never had or even scheduled, and have filed against a debt collection agency which has caused an absolute nightmare for me. Add this to being the most cold and judgmental mental health specialist I have ever met, with the rudest nastiest staff I've ever dealt with. Save yourself the headache and find another office, Lakdawala can only end badly for you.

I've been a patient of Dr Lakdawala for quite some time. Dr Lakdawala is very kind, courteous and professional. He truly cares about the patient. His wise words have helped me through some very rough times. I feel very comfortable with Dr Lakdawala and have referred him to friends in the past and would do so again. I appreciate him.

Absolutely would not recommend. Very cold, clinical, and rude. Unhelpful and irresponsible while prescribing meds. Dropped me after he got frustrated that I wasn't responsive to meds. I can't believe I wasted so much time and money on someone who seemed completely disinterested in helping me.

Dr. Lakdwala has been my stabilizer now for over 10 years. I found him when I was at the bottom of the heap. Now, I am on top of the world. The reason is Dr. Lakdwala and God. He is a wonderful healer, good listener and very smart. Thank you Dr. Lakdwala
