Dr. Ashwin Anand Patkar, MD

I seen a lot of doctors in my day but doctor patkar saved my life I own a lot he's one of the best physician doctors I have ever met and I thank him a lot for saving my life.

Dr Patkar is as knowledgeable a Dr. that I have every been to. I have been a patient for many years and he has helped me through many problems. He has given me the right meds and gotten me on the right tract. I drive about 1 hour to see him, but it is worth it. I feel very fortunate to be a patient of his. Robert, N.C.

I was in a vicious cycle of substance abuse and Dr Patkar helped me get my life back. 2 years clean which I never thought would happen. Through closely monitored medication he gave me a fighting chance. Very happy.

Dr. Patkar has always taken the time to examine and stay current with my medical and mental history, labs and has always taken the time to listen to me when I describe my issues. I have been a patient for over two years. He has never been judgmental and really wants to understand and gives me the meds and strategies to overcome and become healthy and balanced. He gave me guidance in other areas of my life that helped me to be free of self medication, poor choices and debilitating habits. I strongly recommend to others that may need his help and guidance.

I've been seeing Dr. Patkar for several years now and he has been a real game-changer in my life. He has been there to help me through rough times, and celebrate triumphs. He is an excellent doctor.

Initial and subsequent visits with A Patkar revealed a very judgemental and uncompassionate individual that has left me in a worsened condition than when I began with him. He has reduced (non narcotic) sleep medication that addresses a bladder condition that awakens me multiple times during the night; this reduction was done without informing me beforhand and presented to me by the pharmacy, suddenly I was hurled into an extremely frightening loss and unnecessary change. He is in the process of removing a benzodiazapine from my regimin (within a four week time period) which I have been consistently prescribed for a panic disorder for many years... initially presented with a toxic UA which I was honest about, he had insisted he was not judgemental and to be forthcoming with personal information, however, he has been on a one-track personal vendetta to rid me of necessary medications ever since; I find him to be eerily cruel and unethical. In the process of replacing him; I would… not recommend him to my worst enemy.

Dr. Patkar is absolutely the most knowledgeable doctor I have ever known. I've been a patient of his for many years, and I am constantly impressed with his knowledge and with the care that he's provided me. I feel exceptionally fortunate to be a patient of his.

Dr. Ashwin Patkar entered my recovery journey when I was unstable and at the brink of death over ten years ago. Through many episodes of relapse, mental instability and setbacks including the death of my teenage daughter he refused to give up on me. At a particularly low time in my recovery he said, "No matter what happens I will always be your doctor." I was relieved and grateful. He is a skilful clinician and genuinely cares for the whole person. He never gives up and always offers hope. Ron from NC

Dr. Patkar is hands down the most gifted doctor I have seen. His ability to communicate with patients is unmatched. I have been to multiple doctors, inpatient treatment, etc over the past decade, and there is no treatment available that compares to the level of treatment I have received under his care. I have made the most significant and positive strides of my entire life under his care. The staff on-site (Vicki and Angel) are exceptional as well.

very well-versed in treatment of alcoholism. helped my family member to quit drinking
