Dr. Rekha Vinay Ranade-Kapur, MD

I saw this provider years ago and found her to be extremely helpful, courteous, and friendly—and she was an excellent psychiatrist who showed great empathy. I just happened to be browsing the reviews and was astonished that this wonderful psychiatrist had any less than excellent reviews, so I wanted to rectify this by offering five stars and recommend her, wholeheartedly. If I ever need help again I would go back to her in a heartbeat, without reservation!

Almost every review I read is true. She doesn't listen to you and right from the first visit throw meds at you. And not just normal meds, she will give me meds for bi polar or even stronger and tell you they will help you sleep. She doesn't care about what is bothering you, would rather have you get addicted to meds so you have to keep going back to her.

She made me feel awful about myself

Not reliable - highly do NOT recommend her.

I have had one appt with this woman. It took me leaving the office 4 different messages to even get an appt. from there we played a lot of phone tag. When I got to her office, I sat and waited for about 30 mins. When she took a patient in before me, I waved hello and she didn’t even acknowledge my presence. Our first appt lasted like 15 mins. Told her I suffer from ptsd, that I’m very anxious, etc. out of nowhere she says “I think you need help sleeping so here” and literally throws a script for Ativan at me. I was very shocked at how quickly/easily she was giving this stuff to me. I walked out with the script and my father almost had a heart attack because of How quickly she prescribed me such a powerful/addictive drug- which I told her I preferred to stay away from in the first place. I went to shake her hand after my appt, and she completely dodged it, which I found very impolite. I ended up missing my second appt (by accident of course, life happens) and I got bombarded with… messages from her and her secretary which were quite rude. I called back to reschedule and have been playing phone tag ever since. No one gets back to me unless they feel like it. I feel this woman just writes scripts to write them. On top she is not very personable, rude, and didn’t even seem to be listening during my appt as I felt most of it I was just repeating myself. Only took one appt and I’m looking for a new psychiatrist. Read these other reviews after my first appt with her and I can say I’ve had all the same terrible experiences. This woman needs to lose her license.

This doctor is the biggest joke going. I wouldn't recommend her to anyone. Quick to write out prescriptions. I've seen her for three years now but I'ma no better off. Please don't waste time or money with this one. Office staff slow to return calls. Also every time I call I have to leave a message and maybe the will get back to you.

If I could rate her negatively I would. This Dr needs to seek help for herself. I can't imagine the number of patients she has hurt rather than help.

I agreed with and had similar experiences to almost all the very negative comments.
