I feel listened to, not rushed and my concerns and needs are attended to. I am very hopeful for my future mental health. I have been looking for proper mental health management for many years and I truly feel I have found a psychiatrist that really listens and cares about my complicated and personal needs. I feel RESPECTED.

Maria has always been attentive, and responsive. She has never failed to dig deeper, to peel back the layers, so to speak to determine how my medications are working.

Dr. Maria Karandikar is sensitive to my needs as her patient, but most importantly, she sincerely cares about me as a person, not just as her patient. That kind of doctor/patient relationship is hard to come by and so deeply appreciated! Thank you, Maria!

Maria is very caring in how she deals with her patients and their families. We are very happy with services our mother receives. Maria has been accurate with every prescription & recommendation. She knows when to make changes. My family appreciates the time and attention she provides to our mother. Our mother's quality of life is so much better now.

Dr. Maria K. is a kind, empathetic and wonderful example of how doctors in this specialty should interact with their patients. To be anything less negates the importance of building a trusting relationship with such an important mental health care provider. It s obvious that Dr. Maria really cares about her patients. I am delighted to see students in the field of psychiatry are given the opportunity to intern with someone like Dr. Maria Karandikar !
