Venkata Devabhaktuni's Online Review Report Card

I love Dr. Dev. I've had various success with depression meds for decades. Dr .Dev revised my diagnosis and med plan and completely changed my life. Love, love, love him.

Dr. Dev has always been respectful, honest, and caring about any of my concerns.

I have been using Dr. Devabhaktuni for at least 20 years or more, and he is fantastic! I would definitely recommend him to everyone... I was abused by my mother until I left home, and then was mentally and physically abused by my husband for 40 years until he walked out on me... so yes! I feel fine today, thanks to Dr. Dev! He SHOULD be rated in the top 5 star category. Today, I lead a normal life, thanks to him! He's one of Huntsville's BEST doctors!

I saw Dr. Dev several years back, and he was an AMAZING listener, as well as an extremely compassionate doctor. He asked me about my past, what types of prescriptions have helped me in the past, and what prescriptions he explained may help me even better in the future. As soon as my major medical kicks back in, I'm praying he will be taking me back because I've NEVER come across another amazing psychiatrist since loosing my insurance. Dr. Dev is the BEST in his field and I think most of the people that are giving him terrible reviews, just simply don't know how to 'read' him. I don't think I'll ever find another quite like Dr.Dev, he is one of the top Psychiatrists in Northern, Alabama

I'm a retired 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta Force (1st SFOD-D) & Airborne Ranger. I was in pretty bad shape physically(permanent broken arm, wrist, leg, back blown up and numerous other major physical injuries to my body). I suffer from PTSD, TBI, Chronic Depression and other major closed and penetrating head injury in combat. Military Dr. could get me back mentally and Dr. Dev listen to me and I am much, much better than ever thanks to Dr. Dev and his staff..

Really don't understand the negative reviews on Dr. Dev. I was a little nervous to see him after reading some of these but I'm glad I went anyway. He was GREAT! Very thorough, very understanding, and listened to every word I said. He didn't seem to be in a rush or worried about getting me in and out and on to the next patient. I was in his office for at least 45 minutes while we went over all the issues with anxiety and depression that I have dealt with most of my life. He wanted to know all the specific details and seemed to genuinely care. He made sure the medicines he prescribed me would all work well together and warned me of any possible negative side effects. I'm 100% happy I did not listen to the other comments and will continue to see him.

He's nice and has always been spot on with his information. Other doctors have had blaming tones and didn't take some of my concerns seriously. Dr. Dev took me seriously and looked at my other symptoms. Go figure, now my treatment is even better. Staff is always helpful every time I have called, rescheduled, or picked up a script. They even made sure I got the discount card for my medication. The other reviews call him sarcastic, blaming, and non compassionate; I have not seen that once anytime I have been there. When I first came in, I was severely depressed, had low-self esteem, and was hypersensitive to criticism. Even then, I was comfortable with and trusted Dr. Dev. He does answer a lot of questions somewhat literally, and doesn't act as a therapist. So if you need to have longer sessions talking about emotions, coping mechanisms, and compensatory strategies for disorders, ask him to refer a counselor. He got very sick for a month, and I still had all my scripts on time.

He is always very concerned. Listens well. Does some psychotherapy as well. Pays attention sincerely to concerns of the patient. Never had any problem with office staff, especially office manager. They are very efficient in their jobs. Kind, friendly and caring. I think what people don't understand is that they run a medical office and there are rules and procedures. I love all of them. D.R.

Love this doctor, always listens and cares. Has great employees who are kind and helpful. Been seeing him about 3 years and would definitely recommend him.

Very kind and interested in you. Takes time to listen .Very helpful. I would recommend him highly.
