Intuitive Psychiatry's Online Review Report Card

Dr Hariprasad is an incredible clinician who combines academic excellence with a genuinely holistic and integrative approach to the mind and body of anyone under his care. As a patient, I was able to address with Dr Hariprasad a range of issues and fine-tune which approaches were best for me, be they pharmacological or behavioral interventions. This is a doctor who is never patronizing or dismissive, but rather sensitive, responsive, and curious about the worldviews of his patients. His openness towards other forms of healing outside of the allopathic is ahead of its time. Appointments are easy to schedule and the office staff are very organized. What a gift to work with Dr Hariprasad.

It's been a year now since I first reached out. Dr Ravi Prasad responded to my review and also left me a very nice direct message through Yelp. Since then though I must have called at-least 10 more times and left multiple voicemails but I am yet to hear back. It's hard to tell if anyone is even listening to the voice mails because I can't get in touch with a human at all. Call goes to voicemail every single time. Per their website, either the doctor or the assistance would reach back out. I am yet to hear back! I am guessing it's a one-time effort to set an automated voice system, and it was done long ago to indicate that clinic is accepting new patients, but in reality no one's really actively monitoring the calls or working through the intake process. No one to blame but myself, shouldn't have pinned my hopes onto it and moved on long ago.

Try to get an ADHD evaluation and these jokers told me im beyond "his comfort" to treat lmao. I thought.. that was his job. Also got my name wrong twice. I want my 20 minutes back

Update: They reached out, providing explanation and mentioned updating their intake process to provide more details moving forward. full disclosure: this is solely a review on the intake process they currently have. Knowing how difficult it can be for some to reach out for help - I wanted to make others aware that the process to potentially be seen can be a bit disheartening. For context - I reached out this time last year and was told in a one line email that I didn't fit the criteria to be seen. This year was similar, in one sentence being told my symptoms (imo standard, everyday symptoms) are deemed too time consuming to be seen at this time. In hindsight - that decision would feel justified if a more detailed assessment took place, or if there was at least a 10 min consult/evaluation. With that said, fully recognize time constraints and how this may not be possible for all psychiatrists to provide. Sharing for to remind others to continue reaching out to psychiatrists as you wait for a response. Don't lose hope and be kind to yourself as you continue your search :)

Just concluded my final visit with Dr. Ravi Hariprasad, whom I've been seeing since 2016. He was an invaluable guide/healer/mentor through my early twenties as I struggled to overcome a challenging adolescence and family predisposition for mental illness. Ravi sat with me in the darkness and gave me hope that there was a way out. I can not begin to summarize all of the support he has provided over the years, dialing in my medication, assisting with school disabled services bureaucracies, teaching me ways to ground myself, helping me realize that I am not a fundamentally fucked up person and that I am capable of living a life that I find meaningful and fulfilling. Thanks for everything, Dr H. Be well.

I worked with Dr Ravi for over three years, and I am so glad I found his practice. He takes into account all aspects of your life and lifestyle to help you find your path on your terms. he Helped me integrate my physical and mental wellness practices into a form that I could adapt seamlessly into my life. I can truly say that I am in a better place because of my work with him.

Dr. Hariprasad changed my life, to say the least. I saw him at a very low point in my personal and professional lives, with very non-specific concerns about why I wasn't functioning well. He took the time to understand what might be causing these problems, and through a combination of medication and therapy delivered by him personally over the course of several years, I am now in a much better place. He adjusted to meet my extremely busy schedule, through a combination of long/short and in person/video appointments. He helped me through some very dark and tenuous times in my life. Very highly recommended without reservation.

Dr Ravi is a very results driven doctor. He is all about getting you well as soon as possible. I highly recommend him.

Ravi saved my life. I'm not the type of person who is prone to hyperbole, so I don't make that statement lightly. I have been diagnosed with major depression disorder for over 20+ years of my life. Suicide was by no means a distant thought. I bounced around a multitude of Therapists and Psychiatrists, none of whom were able to help. So, when I came to Ravi, I was in emotional shambles. He was my last attempt at helping myself through conventional medicine. Beyond his obvious qualifications, Ravi is an extraordinarily intelligent and kind person. He takes a very methodical approach to his treatment, with a strong concern for not creating any harm. He is very up-to-date with advances in medicine within his field, and is always happy to explain something that is not easily understood. From personal experience, he viewed my depression as a problem waiting to be solved. He measured my progress at every visit, and was not rash in making changes. He was also very cognizant of side-effects. At no point did he give up on the idea that I could be helped. After working with him for a few months, I gradually started to feel better. For 2 years now, I have found relief from my depression and am able to start focusing on the future.

Dr. H has established one of the most efficient ways to get care today. As a millennial going to grad school with 2 jobs, it was difficult for me to have to travel to different cities and attend multiple appointments. Dr. H worked with me to make the process as convenient as possible with, remote video appointments so I could virtually meet with him after a class while on campus, a pharmacy service that delivered my prescriptions to my home and online evaluations that I could do from my phone. I don't think I would've been able to receive this care and get the help I needed if it wasn't for Dr. H's nuanced method. Thank you --
