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.

She understands that anti-anxiety medications have their limits and tolerance develops and they don't address the underlying issues. She is courageous enough to take a stand against relying on them.

I wanted to like Dr. Priyanka because she's sweet and willing to work with me on trying cheaper meds first and only having appointments when necessary, because my insurance made things expensive. However, she refused to listen to how bad my anxiety was and just wrote it off as a side effect of the depression. She'd say, "when the antidepressant works, you'll have less anxiety, so just give it time" but even after many months, the anxiety is still ruining my life. Any time I try to bring up *anything* other than depression, she dismisses me and blows it all off with, "oh, you just have poor coping skills and need to work on it in therapy" even when I tell her that I've been trying for months and my therapist strongly feels there might be more than depression (and that getting meds might improve my life and help me learn the coping skills more effectively). So if there's a chance you might need to be medicated for anxiety or for multiple things at once, go elsewhere.

Dr. Priyanka is easy to talk to, and I always walk out of her office feeling encouraged. She has helped me to discover the root of my issues and worked with me to find the medications I needed. I appreciate that she slowly starts you on medications and slowly increases the dose, so that you don’t experience as many harsh side effects. I’m surprised to see others have left negative reviews, because she has been nothing but friendly and professional.

Dr. Priyanka has been an excellent sounding board, allowing a good balance of me talking and her providing input. She challenges me to think for myself and has left me with a good direction for future growth.

Wouldn't let me as the patient talk. She kept cutting me off and wouldn't let me speak up about why I'm actually there for help. Left feeling worse than when I came in. She made me feel very uncomfortable and felt very invasive on things I didn't want to talk about

Dr. Priyanka is courteous and professional. She is very intelligent, she essentially became a doctor in India and then moved to the US where she completed an undergraduate degree, graduated from medical school and then completed her residency. She was the Chief Resident for the final year before completing her program. She is a bit young with regards to the average age of a psychiatrist however this shouldn't deter you from seeing her as she is quite insightful and easygoing.

I was turned away from this office on my first visit. They refused to verify my private insurance when I showed up for my appointment 30 min early. Supposedly the billing department is located in Michigan state and it takes 1 week to verify. We called my health plan and verification for providers is available 24/7. Also, the office manager is not at the site, they are also located out of town. Their customer service is non existent. I have never felt more humiliated in my life. DO NOT GO THERE!!

Dr Priyanka has helped like no other doctor has been able to. She has quickly assessed my situation and found the correct mix of medications that work best for me. She is available at anytime I feel I need to be seen. She not only prescribes medication but has given me the best therapy I've had. Nothing long and intense but she sees what the heart of problem is and addresses it. She's remarkable. So smart and so pleasant.

Dr. Priyanka met with my son and listened to other people more than she listened to my son. She had a preconceived ideas of what the problem was and just stuck to her biased analysis. She never questioned others who were giving her input. She misdiagnosed our son and insisted that she was right. I believe that she is receiving referrals from attorneys in order to be a professional biased witness on their behalf. Other psychiatrists warned me about her and they are right.
