Dr. Jagan K Chilakamarri, MD

Best psychiatrist in Atlanta, speaking as a Licensed Professional Counselor x25 years and referring hundreds of patients to him.

Paid excessive amount for intake review. Went through two types of meds that caused anxiety to worsen to suicidal level. Diagnosed my child w ADHD which could not be further from correct. Never heard from him again and left with a confirmation that this field is rife with disappointments

I brought my adopted son to him and I can say that in about the 9 years he treated him he was outstanding. The surrounding community in North Fulton is a major problem. There is a lack of good hospitals, we have done so many at Peachford that they no longer will accept my son. The special ed is pitiful, they do not read the ieps and call you so much I almost lost my job. The only problem I see is that Dr. C has to deal with these people and you can't. If the school program did what they are supposed to it would be perfect. My son is no longer taking meds due to a compromised pancreatis and he is doing well now that I got him out of that program. I would highly recommend Dr C.

DR. C is amazing in how quickly he got to know and understand my child. He has such insight into her. He returns my calls in his off hours and makes himself available for his patients. My child enjoys going to see him and he makes her laugh. She too is amazed at how much he gets her. He has helped my child in the last year so much and she has come such a long way in 1 year. I thank Dr C.

I have never met a smarter doctor who really took the time to hear what was bothering my daughter. He came up with a concise medical plan to ease her anxiety and ADHD, and he really cared about what she was saying. He treated the whole person, not just the diagnosis. He's been a miracle worker and a true friend in the healing process. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in quality care!

He is well worth the wait and any money you could spend! He is fantastic with differential diagnosis, professionalism and expertise

Would recommend. But makes me feel awkward with him typing all the time when I am trying to explain my problems. Sometimes do not feel he is really listening. Takes up too much time weighing and taking BP. Has now stopped accepting and seeing adult patients, except the ones he already had. At last visit got the feeling he was trying to get rid of me. Made some sarcastic comments to me and recommended another psychiatrist even though I had been seeing him almost 6 years. I feel uncomfortable with all the children in the waiting room. Can make you feel anxious/nervous. Waiting room is very small for parents and children too. No toys or TV to keep their attention while waiting.Staff if nice, but you can feel the frustration if under any pressure. They are under staffed for his large practice. The Dr. no longer takes any insurance, so he is cash only or you have to file out of network on your on.

This doctor is knowledgeable however I was not pleased with the way he handled my son's diagnosis. He basically gave me a scrap piece of paper at the end of our appointment that listed 3 drug names & told me to research them with my husband & let him know which one we wanted to try. I was blown away by his lack of information that he provided about these drugs & his way of passing off the decision completely on us. While I want to have input, I would expect the professional to provide more information about the drugs & provide more guidance. Very disappointed in the services we received for $600. Two appointments at $300/ hour. I would recommend finding another doctor.

I am a 17 year old with moderate anxiety following a brain tumor. He is nice enough, but he brings me back, asks me about 3 questions while barely looking at me as he types away on his laptop, then asks me to get my mom tells her my answers to the three questions then writes a prescription for his magical diagnoses that he infers from my answers and sends me on my way. It is ridiculous that he is an hour away from my house and I have to wait half an hour in his waiting room for ten minutes of "treatment". I can't wait to find a new psychiatrist.

The most incredible and compassionate doctor. He will treat your child as one of his own. No hour of the night is too late for you to call. There are no limit to the number of calls he will accept to help his patients.
