This is a father son practice. They are both educated in India. I have never met the Dad but the son - Gopinath - was cool, knowledgeable, smart, and understanding. He was organized and clean- no stacks of papers, books, and junk all over his office. He asked intelligent questions about my history, did not judge nor was demeaning, degrading, or in any way inappropriate. I told him my prescription history and that I had recently moved here and needed a new psychaitrist. He prescribed me what was needed and scheduled appropriate follow ups for re-prescribing. His staff are very considerate and cool to deal with. They are very prompt with your appointment after arrival. He's fairly full with patients but if you can get in with this doctor you will be in good hands imho.

Did not know how medications he orders are dispensed and is difficult to get in touch with for any kind of follow up!!

Dr. Kongara was amazing. I would refer him to anybody. He never interupted while I was speaking and was totally on my level. I had a wonderful experience and the medicine prescribed worked wonders. I give him 4 stars!!

I've been seeing Dr. Kongara for almost a year now and I've never had a single problem with him. The staff has room for improvement.
