Getting to know Dr. Boski Patel
Dr. Boski Patel holds the position of psychiatrist at Talkiatry. She is double board-certified in geriatric and adult psychiatry. She has been practicing for over 3 years.
Dr. Patel's practice focuses on medication management. Typically, she offers this in conjunction with supportive therapy in 30-minute follow-up visits. However, occasionally Dr. Patel may believe that additional therapy is also needed and ask that you bring a therapist into your care team to provide the best outcome.
She received her undergraduate degree from the University of Pittsburgh, and then went on to receive her medical degree from Penn State University. Following medical school, she completed general psychiatry residency training at the University of Connecticut where she was chief resident of outpatient psychiatric services. During this time she was also chosen as an Honors scholar with the American Association of Geriatric Psychiatry. After training she moved to California to do her geriatric psychiatry fellowship at Stanford. Following her fellowship, she worked at Kaiser Permanente in clinical roles of outpatient, geriatric and C/L.
In addition to general psychiatry, Dr. Patel is also board-certified in geriatric psychiatry. She completed her geriatric psychiatry fellowship at Stanford with an emphasis on treating geriatric mental health disorders as well as psychiatric symptoms in dementia.

More information on payments and coverage
Because we accept insurance, we can reduce out-of-pocket expenses and still offer high-quality care. You may not have any cost related to your visit with us, depending upon your insurance plan. Most patients pay a small copay per visit, subject to any deductible or coinsurance that your health plan has. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services determines appropriate billing guidelines. These guidelines depend on the length of the visit and the complexity and severity of your diagnosis. For this reason, we need to wait until after the visit for the final determination. We then submit the claim to your insurance company. The charges are calculated based upon pre-negotiated prices with your insurance company. Your insurance company will then determine what amount, if any, is your responsibility per your insurance plan.

I was very happy with the doctor I saw today. I have been trying to see an MD in my rural area with no success for quite a while now. I've just been seeing a lot of nurses who were unable to offer much assistance or stability. Todays appt was a breath of fresh air, Dr. Patel spent a full hour with one on one engagement during today's visit, and I look forward to such personable future visits.

Dr. Patel’s empathetic, active listening reassured me, to continue speaking. I’m touched by her warm validation. She instantly searched for a referral and may be one of the most polite, friendly practitioners I’ve met.

My appointment with Dr. Patel was great. She was prompt, easy to talk to, friendly, prepared and thorough, empathetic, and knowledgeable. She spent time getting to know me and understand my background. She has collaborative approach to choosing the path forward and that was refreshing. I couldn’t be happier with the experience.

Dr. Patel is pragmatic, articulate and an expert in diagnosis. I decided to see her as I needed a second opinion for my condition. Given my scientific training, I was still not agreeing with my current diagnosis. Dr. Patel explained clearly her observations and rationale in layman terms. I felt heard, well understood and very comfortable. I wish you all speedy recovery and there is always light at the end of the tunnel. With kindness??

I was not aware until my session that the doctor does not accept patients who are on the prescription drug(s) that I currently take. I listed them on the questionnaire that preceded my visit. I cannot remember if that was the first thing she asked when we were in session. She does believe in transparency so I will commend her for that and follow suit. If her policy regarding certain medications had been crystal clear at the onset, we would have ended the session immediately. We were obviously not a good fit. I am sure other prospective patients will do well with her methodology.
