Dr. Preeti Parakh

Very good and kind doctor.. Listened to my issues patiently and adviced problem based medicine and solution and also helpful staff members.

She prescribed minimum medicines and assured recovery

I had visited the doctor with my partner today. This is the second time he is seeing her and has spoken highly about her since he has seen visiting her. I was surprised several times throughout the interaction with her. First of all, she told my partner that she wouldn't have changed the medicine had she been aware of the fact that there would be a change in his workplace. I find it difficult to accept that a doctor would make a statement like this. If he was aware of a change, would he not have anyway informed her? Next, one of the solutions given to my partner to one of his problems was to move out or asking another family member to move out as easily ** * ** * What surprises me is that she was talking about a) a huge move that would inevitably create problems and add on to my partner's stress (he did mention that his mother wouldn't be okay with it) b) and as lightly as if it could be easily done over the next few days. Forget a doctor saying it, frankly, I wouldn't expect any person who can think logically would be providing such a difficult solution to a person looking for help ASAP I was there all the while, unacknowledged by her. It was quite evident that I would be either a family member or the partner. That isn't even the issue. I let her interact with my partner uninterruptedly. He had missed mentioning a point or two. We were discussing and he asked me to tell her the ones I was talking about. But she dismissed those by rudely saying that she is unwell and if we could discuss those the next day. This matter, you may say, is subjective. But as the patient's well wisher AND as a professional working with one of the most reputed hospitals in Kolkata, I would strongly disapprove of such behaviour and call it downright unprofessional. ** * I wouldn't recommend her. ** ** ** ** ** ** ** Extremely disappointed and humiliated.

She listened well to everything I said, but didn’t explain the disease or details beyond the medicine. I was referred to another clinical psychologist, though I hoped she would be the only one I needed to consult.

She listened to me with a lot of patience and prescribed minimum meds . It helped me with my day to day task a lot .

She brings back positivity from the very first session.she is humorous, pragmatic * She helps in finding comfort and prescribes medicine as little as possible . Her treatment works like a miracle for me . If one has any doubt that psychiatric medications are for life time or so, I can assure from my own experience that Preeti Ma’am’s priority is always how to cure you effectively so that she can stop medication forever. I was lucky to have her as my psychiatrist. Thank you Doctor* **
