“Based off my first visit. Dr. Amol was definitely one of my better psychiatrists I’ve been to. He actually listens and doesn’t sit there treating you like a grocery store check-off list. His goal is to clearly identify the best solution versus just writing a prescription. Only con would be the office location. It is located in a residential busy area so, street parking is limited. Overall, I highly recommend.”

    Based off my first visit. Dr. Amol was definitely one of my better psychiatrists I’ve been to. He actually listens and doesn’t sit there treating you like a grocery store check-off list. His goal is to clearly identify the best solution versus just writing a prescription. Only con would be the office location. It is located in a residential busy area so, street parking is limited. Overall, I highly recommend.
    He was very professional. He would ask me questions, analyze and help me to express myself, my feelings and to come up with a solution to make my problems better. He's easy to talk.
    Dr. Amol was very accommodating when I paid him a visit. He took the time to listen to my needs, and was very gentle and understanding without judgement. The only downside was that he was not accepting new patients at the moment, but he took the time to recommend several doctors that were accepting patients that could provide me exactly what I needed. Thank you for everything you do!

    I really enjoyed meeting Dr. Amol today! I’m excited to work with him and to continue to move forward. I liked the location, everything was super neat and is very close to where I live.
    One of the best doctors! I would recommend him for psychotherapy & medication as needed. He does not rush during therapy sessions and is an amazing listener.
    Dr. Chaugule is a very knowledgeable, intuitive, compassionate and a caring psychiatrist. He is willing to work with patients to find the right treatment for them. He is professional and has empathy in a way no other doctor I have previously see has. I highly recommend him to others.
    I was pleasantly surprised as Dr. Chaugule is a sensible, experienced yet understanding gentleman. His psychotherapy techniques facilitate guided listening and direction, or self-help strategies. I highly recommend him!
