Dr. Shubhada Kalidas Kode, MD

I don't know how she is helping at all. Zero improvement seen

She asked me 10 questions and totally reversed my diagnosis from 15 years ago and gave me medications that made me sick to my stomach and stopped my previous script. I was borderline suicidal for the first time in my life and she refused to put me back on my medication until she could see me 2 weeks from now. Pathetic

Dr. Kode was very patient with me while I talked to her and cried through most of the visit . I have not seen Dr. Kode since are initial visit but I will be returning to see her again soon and continue my mental health care with her .

My last appointment was last 10/2014!!!! And I will never return to her. She doesn`t have a patience to listen to you, she always worry about her time on the clock, my appointments last no more than 10 minutes! She just wants to know about the drug if it is work or not! If you try to say some thing more, she interrupt you! She doesn`t allowed me to express the way I am feeling. So, I decided to see another Doctor!

Dr. Kode is overall an excellent choice. She can come off condescending at times, which initially I found frustrating, but after several years I believe this is part of her practice as a physician. Dr. Kode is an ethical doctor with boundaries. She is cautious in her approach and treatment starts gradually. Don't schedule an appointment if you think she'll follow the treatments of your previous providers. I've had ADD all my life, and she initially refused to prescribe me controlled-medication I've been taking for years. It was only after several appointments and tests did she confirm the diagnoses. Yes, this was frustrating, but I believe it's part of her morales as a physician. Her diagnoses are overall outstanding in the end and her treatments both effective and life-changing. Give her a chance and she's an excellent long-term provider, just don't expect to initially be wowed or abundantly medicated.

I saw Dr. Kode once and will never go back. She was condescending in the way she spoke with me, assumed I was coming in with a hidden agenda and made a point of telling me all the things she was NOT going to do for me. She wanted to prescribe anti-depressants when I had expressly told her how poorly I had reacted to anti-depressants in the past. She came across as extremely cold and uncaring.

Kode seems particularly good with finding the right medication and right dose. We tinkered around with various combinations as she responded to my different concerns and I'm very happy with what we ended up with.

Dr. Kode is always there for me. She makes me stay on task and really workes on my issues and medication. She knows her stuff.

I went to see Dr. Kode a couple times and rather than addressing my personal anxiety issues all she did was spew words from a book, tell me what she won't do for me, and only caused more anxiety. She was condescending and combative. I will not ever go back to her, nor would I recommend her to anyone.

Working with Dr Kode cost me my business,marriage, car, and reputation.She took a General Practioner's diagnosis of depression and continued medication that my body could not tolerate. I movedto California and was almost immediately diagnosed with sleep apnea (that treatment took care of the problem)
