Dr. Mahender Surakanti is a great doctor. He listens to and gives me his opinion. Straight to the point. Been seeing him for ten years +.

I have been going to see Dr. S for a long time and have had tremendous success. Both he and his staff are top notch. 5 stars!

Dr. Surakanti is truly awful. I've left his office with panic attacks he himself has given me. I'm currently on leave from work due to depression and anxiety and he told me there would be no reason to go back because I'm getting fired anyway. He does not listen to anything you have to say because he thinks he's God. "Well you can't be feeling that way because you're taking this." Pretty sure even though he's gone to medical school, I know my thoughts and feelings far better than he does. I've been with him 5 months now and have received almost no alleviation from my symptoms.

I've tried to see him for suicidal thoughts and 2 times I went to the ER to get admitted into the behavioral center, and I've been to several doctor appointments just to be able to get to the behavioral center and apparently this stranger gets to make all the decisions. Sending a suicidal girl home? Wow. And he totally lied to me like omg.

Don't plan on having input when it comes to your treatment. This guy knows it all. I've never felt less cared about by a psychiatrist.
