Great experience with Dr. A. She listened well and took in all the nuance of what I communicated before providing three options, which she explained clearly.

Dr. Agarwal really took her time and did a very thorough initial assessment. She spent a lot of time educating me about different treatment options, and I never felt rushed or pressured.
Dr. Agarwal took my previous medical history into account and listened to what worked in the past. She didn’t give me a treatment plan that was “one plan fits all” and instead came up with a tailored solution that fits my needs. I recommend her whole heartedly to any patient that is looking to establish care with an excellent psychiatrist long term!

Dr. Agarwhal is an excellent provider. Her acumen with medical intervention is very holistic and multi-pronged, and I as a new patient of hers appreciate the context she carefully asked during the intake. I am thrilled to have found a great provider, and it is criminal there are no more than one review of her, so I am volunteering.
She genuinely shows empathy and care. I would strongly recommend her as a provider. I truly look forward to working under her guidance. Don't snooze, book that appointment, get the help you need, and work with her and your therapist!
