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 !

Maria is always responsive and takes the time to listen to any concerns or needs. I don t feel as if she is simply prescribing meds, but actually helping me manage my medication in an individualized way.
