He only writes prescriptions two days a week and usually doesn’t manage to get the prescription for you until the following week. Prescriptions aren’t filled Fridays, weekends or holidays. He’s only in the clinic two days a week, Wednesday and Thursday. He will not fill prescriptions except on those days. He is arrogant and impossible for a patient to be able to speak with him until your next appointment. The receptionist staff are extremely rude and never helpful. It is a nightmare having to use Brentwood’s outpatient clinic. Unfortunately, Humana offers a small number of psychiatrists and they’re the worst Shreveport offers. The better ones don’t take new patients.

Dr. Suresh was very nice and professional. He was patient with me when I was nervous and worked with me on my medications. I have been seeing him for quite awhile now and appreciate that I don't have a long wait when I come for appointments with him and he never makes me feel rushed. I strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a great doctor who really cares. He's not one who just prescribes medications and walks off!! He really cares about his patients and works hard to help them get better. I thank him for his hard work in helping me to get better!
