“I've been a patient of Dr. Chopra for the past two years, and following a sleep study in the spring of 2024, he was able to diagnose and begin to treat a sleep disorder that I have been struggling with since childhood. Like many people with chronic health conditions, I have more than one, which has made medication and side effect management stressful in the past. Dr. Chopra has been responsive and thoughtful about trialing different medications to improve my symptoms, and has worked with me to find a combination of treatments that addresses my nighttime sleep behaviors and improves my daytime cognition, all while considering the impact on other areas of my health. After decades of having my sleep issues dismissed or being prescribed contraindicated medications by other doctors, it's been a breath of fresh air to work with a physician with the expertise and care needed to address such an impactful health problem. ”

    Ive been seeing Dr Chopra for 3 years now and he has been really helpful. He is kind, listens, is thoughtful and always responds super quickly to my messages. Additionally he is a sleep specialist which has been really beneficial in helping me treat my sleep disorders
    Dr. Chopra was a great listener and made me feel extremely comfortable, especially for someone who was seeing a psychiatrist for the first time. I would recommend him to anyone seeking an answer to their issues!

    My work with Dr. Chopra has focused on my medication needs and prescriptions. From the beginning, Dr. Chopra brought his comforting , healing, and empathetic presence to his work with me. His clinical knowledge blended well with his clinical presence, and the blend provided a solid basis for our work. His goal was not just prescribing but also offering the best medication in light of my history and symptoms. Dr. Chopra is attentive to details and effectively works with me in the moment, responding to my questions with patience and even handedness. I highly recommend him and would have no hesitation referring a dear friend or family member to him.
    I have been lucky enough to have been a patient of Dr. Chopra's for several years now. Many times when looking for a therapist, and even more so a psychiatrist, I have had to decide between a treater who knew their medications and could simply be a prescriber or if I wanted someone who ACTUALLY listened to me. Dr. Chopra far exceeds both. He not only takes the time, not rushing me, but REALLY listening to what's currently going on in my life, but always asks if there's anything specific I want to work on & we decide on a plan together. His patience & bedside manner immediately put me at ease, and it is so evident that he truly & deeply cares. He responds to questions and concerns almost immediately and I truly feel lucky to have found him. I would highly recommend Dr. Chopra to anyone looking for a humble, smart, non judgmental and just wonderful treater.
    Showed patience and personal attention Never felt rushed ….listened to my concerns..even at times when I found it hard to express myself!
    I feel very comfortable speaking/sharing what is going on in my life with him. He has an excellent bedside manner and is quite knowledgeable in medications that are used for anxiety, depression and OCD. My mental health has improved in the two years that I have been seeing him. I highly recommend him.
    I have been a patient of Dr. Chopra's for over 2 years, and he has consistently provided comprehensive care that is insightful, professional, and considerate of my individual needs. Above all, Dr. Chopra's expertise and intuitive treatment have translated into improvement in my health as well as my quality of life. I am assured that anyone would be well placed in his capable hands.
    Although I have only had two appointments, Dr. Chopra seems highly knowledgeable and invested in his patients. He is extremely thoughtful and accessible and also has a wonderful bedside manner. His kindness is apparent from the moment one starts talking to him. I am so fortunate to have found him and think he will help me finally sort out my complex mental health needs. I could not be more grateful for his generosity and commitment.

    Dr Chopra is a thoughtful and collaborative psychiatrist. I feel that he keeps track of all the details. I’ve seen him for over 2 years, also during a pregnancy. He went above and beyond during this time, being on call during my labor just in case I needed support. I also appreciate his always learning about the current mental health research. I highly recommend him!
    Dr. Chopra was enthusiastically recommended to me by colleagues and other medical professionals aware of his excellent reputation, It has proven to be a most fortunate connection for which I will be forever grateful. Dr. Chopra arrived promptly at the designated time, revealing great charm, a warm smile, and armed with probing questions the answers to which have led to a marked improvement in my life by introducing a course of treatment not addressed by his predecessors. I've now been working with Dr. Chopra for about a year and find him to be unfailingly kind, compassionate, and extremely easy to talk to even about the most sensitive topics, perhaps because I've sensed from the onset that he is not judgmental. He is consistently patient and never rushes me, and even encourages me to participate in discussions about my medications and provides materials to read about them. I would gladly and without qualification recommend him to anyone seeking treatment for mental health issues.
    Dr. Chopra is a wonderful and capable provider. I have received superior care from him, and he undoubtedly contributed to my current success and wellbeing. I could not recommend him enough.
    I love my visits and appointments with Dr. Chopra. He is very professional but also down to earth. He’s very warm and compassionate. He is a great listener and is very thorough in his care. I would highly recommend him to any patient with mental health issues.
    Dr,. Chopra has worked with me for over a year to "wean" me off anti depressant medications--prescribed by other psychiatrists long ago--- that were causing me problems and side effects. Simply put, he is a remarkable physician. I have never felt better. His caring, cautious approach to this challenging and complicated medical task was superlative. I am a lawyer and retired hospital executive and my life partner is a physician....we were both extremely impressed with Dr. Chopra's care and will be referring others to him.
    Dr Chopra is an incredible doctor, with a vast knowledge of medications, and what will work for who. He will spend the time to get to know you personally, and work with you, to try different things, until you are feeling better.
    Dr. Chopra is always polite and respectful. He listens and allows me the time I need to express myself. He has never rushed me through an appt, which I've experienced with many other providers. He asks thoughtful questions and is not judgemental. I have always felt supported by him and even when he was away from the office he made sure his patient's needs were covered appropriately by a colleague. I am happy to be in his care for over a year.
    My first introduction, following a referral, to Dr. Chopra was by phone and I immediately felt a connection to him. He asked all the right questions and listened intently while I expressed my circumstances and emotions. He provided insightful recommendations and offered helpful thoughts to process. He made himself available for a deeper, face to face session that proved to be extremely beneficial to me. Dr. Chopra has helped me to re-frame some of the negative thoughts I was having and to feel that I don't need to carry the load of guilt and regret I was carrying. I feel blessed that our paths crossed and that he is available to me as I continue my journey.
    I think my visit was very good. Dr. Chopra was very patient in listening to my concerns. He was very thorough in his advice as well.
