My experience with Dr. Prayaga has been a positive one. He is current on some of the more recent modules of treatment for ADHD, Depresion and Anxiety. He has also given me advice on how to take my medication so it is more effective in its absorption. The Ketamine treatments have assisted with the pain associated with a back injury and as well anxiety.
The clinic treats high volume patients but the nurse and staff do a great job overseeing that patients get individualized care.

Dr. Prayaga listened to my concerns and asked great questions to help both to diagnose my issues and provide informative solutions. I look forward to continuing treatment here.
