Dr. Raveen Mehendru, MD

I found Dr. Mehendru to be very accommodating in-spite of my inability to keep regular appointments due to the depression and memory loss I suffered. What I found most helpful was the feeling that he was working WITH me not directing or ordering me. Our only disagreement was when I wanted to complete the last 2 of 6 ECT sessions on an outpatient basis rather than inpatient. I opted discharge and foregoing the last 2 sessions.

The majority of the rating questions do not apply as this was a treatment center. Dr. Mehendru would make a better prison warden than a doctor. I was at the Institute of Living following an extensive and live changing illness which obliterated my career and lifestyle, my 20 year marriage was about to end in divorce and I'd just attempted suicide. Dr. Mehendru simply berated me for abusing pain medication. I only wish that had been my only problem. This woman was completely clueless. Thank goodness I am now three years out from that terrible experience and fully recovered from my depression and my "addiction". I feel sorry for anyone that has to have Mehendru as a physician - she's heartless.
