Review for Dr. Khoe
Not listened to or respected. Skip Dr. Gupta and a Dr. who listens and pretends to care. She was a waste of my time and money.

Review for Dr. Gupta
When I asked about a medication to relieve some symptoms, he told that at my age (69) since I'd coped this far in my life without it, I should just continue on as before. I immediately changed psychiatrists as I was shocked at his lack of empathy.
