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.

Seen him since 2010!
Dr. K is the best psychiatrist in our area. As a professional, I understand the complexity of time management and caseloads. However, Dr. K truly makes you feel like he has unlimited time. He listens, wants to know what you think if the medicine is working ACCORDING TO YOUR PERSPECTIVE, and is genuinely a great person. I recommend Dr. K to anyone and everyone, and have for 12 years.

Professional, brilliant, accommodating, kind
I've been a patient of Dr. Kannegenti for several years now. You always have his full attention. He's thorough, and when needed, brief. His bedside manor is amazing. He's just a kind man who is great at his job. I would and have recommended him to to family.

At the beginning when I first started seeing the doctor it was when the virus came around and started and made me very vulnerable more so than I was already hence why I was looking for a new doctor from just moving back to Columbus. This guy never seem to genuinely care or show any true interest in what was really bothering me but you could tell all you wanted to do was put me and categorize me into a place of others that just seek out certain type of medication's to abuse when I've never once done that. I hardly even leave my house to even try or attempt to do something so ignorant but yet when I really needed the doctor more than anything he drops me as a patient and still to this day there's no given reason on my papers. I was not difficult I've never went against anything he said I never argued with him I genuinely just wanted help. This has to be the sorriest doctor I have ever came across in all my life. I would not recommend him to anybody especially people that really need help

Never had issues and for those people with an "accent phobia" his English is good and he does speaks perfectly clear. He is very respectful as well as his staff.

Dr. Kannegenti is great. It should be pointed out that he is not a counselor, nor is he a therapist, nor is he a psychologist. I suggest looking up the distinction between these before choosing a mental health professional. That being said, as a psychiatrist, he listens intently and provides a diagnosis based on what's told, then prescribes medication, recommends counseling, or whatever else he sees fit. Anyone who has issues with this concept should not see a psychiatrist.

He only saw me for a short visit then billed my insurance company over $1,000 for that one visit. He was rude and lacked any kind of empathy. I wouldn't trust this man or his morals.

He was very hard for me to understand. I feel he also had a hard time understanding and listening to me. He kept asking me certain questions and seemed frustrated that he wasn't getting the answers he was looking for. Talking to him felt like talking to a wall. The appointment was very rushed and a waste of my time. I highly urge others to go elsewhere.

Very disappointed with my experience with Dr. Kanbegenti. I was rushed during both appointments and told all prior diagnosis were inaccurate and unless I agreed with his diagnosis I would need to find another doctor. The whole experience was very troubling and left me feeling very vulnerable. I highly recommend finding another doctor if you want someone to listen to you and work together to come up with a treatment plan.
