Patient Reviews
Mar 06, 2024
After 20 plus years of psychiatric care with several different providers I found Dr. Pillai to be incredibly attentive and insightful. After careful evaluation Dr. Pillai was able to make several new and correct diagnoses. Additionally, Dr. Pillai, based on my physical and mental condition was able to recommend several lab tests he that I have my general practitioner perform. Specifically, Dr. Pillai was curious to know if I had a gene mutation known as MTHFR, not something an average psychiatrist would clue in on based on a standard psychiatric office evaluation. I went and had the testing done, as well as a couple other tests he recommended and his assumptions were all CORRECT. Dr. Pillai takes the time you require to truly analyze and diagnose your condition. He has a warmth, care and compassion for his patients that is very hard to find in this world full of five minute psych. evaluations. Thank you Dr. Pillai for all you did for me. This is a life that you changed for the best.
