“dr milton was my favorite doctor i’ve seen, loved her. very empathetic and engaged me in every step of figuring out my treatment plan, never just told me what to do without explanation the way other doctors have done”

“Fantastic doctor. She was very compassionate and understanding. Listened to all aspects of the issue and problems I was having and really worked with me to find the best personalized solution for me. I felt at ease and comfortable speaking to her and felt a weight lifted because I felt heard. Dr. Milton is absolutely Wonderful. We even got disconnected because my phone accidentally died at the end of our visit. I was mortified and panicked but she made arrangements to wrap up with me after her next patient and I really appreciated that.”

Getting to know Dr. Shama Milon

Dr. Shama Milon is a triple-board eligible physician in Pediatrics, Psychiatry, and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. She has experience treating mood disorders, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, and other conditions, including specializing in treating patients with co-occurring psychiatric and medical conditions.

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.

Dr. Sharma clearly pointed out why and how she got to her diagnosis which I thought was really helpful as I am a skeptical patient, which is something I did not receive from my last provider. She is caring and reads the room by giving me the blunt answers I need(adaptable to patients) which is why I will be seeing her again.

First of all, seeing a doctor through Talkiatry like this made my life so much easier! To be able to fit in an hour appointment in the middle of my work day - whenever I'm available - and NOT have to consider the time it takes to travel to and from an office was the biggest appeal for me here. She was also very kind, asked great questions to get to know me and my needs, and was clear in our next steps. She was able to immediately order the medications that I need before our appointment even ended. I cannot recommend her enough!

Very thorough on the first appointment

More than 1 year agoKM

Dr. Milon had such a calm and peaceful way during the entire appointment. I felt very comfortable talking to her, even though its very difficult for me to open up. Just her presence in the room and the way she talks, makes you feel like her, calm and in peace. I highly Recommended her!

I always feel better after our session. She is very soft spoken which helps me stay calm. I find her to be very intelligent. I am very pleased to have her as my psychiatrist.

Great. She's calm, sincere, and caring.

She really tries to find out what medicine works in your best interest and doesn't give up. I really appreciate her knowledge and transparency regarding the side effects of medications.
