“Dr. Kushwaha is a kind, professional, and understanding Dr. who sets the tone so that you can get individual care that meets your needs. Her ability to determine what you need and how you need it is extremely valuable particularly when it takes time for medications to have their maximum effect. I believe that Dr. Kushwaha has a vested interest in the outcome of her patients and it shows in her compassion and counseling. ”

I really appreciated Dr. K sitting with me and answering my questions while explaining in detail that I can understand. I felt comfortable opening up so that I can get the best possible care.

Dr. Kushwaha is an excellent psychiatrist. The evaluation was throughout and Dr. K asked very specific questions which I hadn't encountered previously in seeking treatment. She provided detailed information about the treatments and anything to look out for. She is trustworthy and I look forward to receiving continuing care with her.

I am writing to share my exceptional experience with Dr. Kushwaha. From the moment my daughter began treatment, it was clear that she genuinely cares about her patients' well-being.
She gave my daughter a safe, non-judgmental space where she felt comfortable discussing even the most difficult and personal issues. She provided insightful and practical guidance in addition to the treatment, and made sure I also had the proper information and knowledge to be able to help my daughter. I can't thank Dr K enough for her excellent treatment over the last year and a half and highly recommend her to anyone seeking compassionate, attentive, and effective care.

Dr. Kushwaha, is amazing. She takes the time to listen about how I am feeling and ask probing questions to identify what could be contributing to lack of motivation and unstable moods. I am comfortable with being honest with her as she does not pass judgement, just insight and solutions. I have now used Dr. Kushwaha's service twice and will again in the future if necessary.

I am so glad I found Dr. Kushwaha, and it has been so convenient to do so via telehealth.
Finding Dr. K on a telehealth platform was quick and easy; I looked for someone with experience relevant to my needs and then found flexible times to meet. I often need to meet later in the day on weekdays due to my schedule and Dr. K has always been flexible and accommodating.
As far as Dr. K herself, she's the best psychiatrist I've had, in person or virtual; she is kind and easy to work with, and it's obvious as soon as you talk to her that she is very smart and competent. You'd be lucky to get her as your care giver.

Dr. K is an extraordinary physician who truly goes above and beyond in their care. Rather than just treating symptoms, their focus is on fostering real healing. After some disappointing experiences with other doctors, I was initially hesitant to see a new psychiatrist. However, meeting Dr. K has been a refreshing experience. They listen with genuine empathy, show deep care, and possess an impressive wealth of knowledge across all areas of health—not just mental health. Dr. K has a unique ability to connect the dots and provide a holistic, thoughtful approach to care.

Dr. K has been amazing in helping me keep my medication regulated and working with me to find the correct medication and dosage for my specific needs. She has patiently worked through different medications and dosages with me. Having care from a provider who truly cares about my well-being is very important to me and Dr. K definitely cares about my overall well-being in addition to my mental health. I am so pleased with her care that even though my insurance has changed, I am choosing to stay with her as my provider. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs mental healthcare.

Dr Kushwaha provides empathetic listening to the problem and concerns presented to her. I feel she really connects with her patient by truly understanding what is their issue and from there she’ll provide her in-depth knowledge to help alleviate ans resolve the problem. She takes time to listen in a caring way and it really matters for us patients.

Dr. K is the best. I found her at a very low time in my life and, with her help, things have completely turned around. She's a very good listener and handled sensitive topics (infertility, pregnancy loss) with compassion and kindness. I give her my strongest recommendation.

I appreciate Dr. Kushwaha’s warm presence, kind curiosity in asking good questions, and sturdy leadership in developing a treatment plan. Our visits are efficient in getting to the heart of the matter; I feel seen, understood, and cared for.

Dr. Kushwaha is amazing, can't recommend her enough! I had to work my way through several psychiatrists that would not take my symptoms seriously before ending up with Dr. Kushwaha. I've been working with her for a little less than a year, and it has been going great. She is very prompt in responding, flexible with appointment timings, and more importantly she listens to all my concerns and helps tailor the treatment I'm getting to what will help me best. She is very empathetic and has been patient with adjusting my medication doses as needed throughout the year. Love her!!

I initially saw Dr. K after a disappointing session with another psychiatrist and therapist. She was night and day different than the other providers that I saw.
She pinpointed a lot of my issues and brought out some unidentified problems that I was having and got me on the right medications.
I highly recommend Dr. Kushwaha

During my appointment with Dr. K, I found her to be pleasant, and I am confident in her abilities and am pleased to have her as a member of my care team. She demonstrates strong communication skills, which is particularly important for me as English is not my first language. Dr. K is highly professional, knowledgeable, honest, and provides excellent support.

I am so happy I ended being a patient under Doctor Vijeta Kushwaha.
I have been dealing with Anxiety and Depression for some time and tried different types of meds which helped at the cost of other effects which made me stop using them.
After a few years I tried an online service and was directed to Doctor Vijeta Kushwaha. She showed extreme patience in hearing me out and my concerns while acknowledging my ongoing anxiety and stress issues.
We tried a few different types of medications and dosages until we found something that worked.
Six months later.. I am a much different person and more able to enjoy life as it should be, better sleep and a more balanced mental state.
I am thankful for her help in getting this far and hope others can also see similar results!
