Explanation

Cold and judgemental on the first appointment. Cold and only interested in ticking the boxes on the second (and last) appointment. I had to ask via email to the reception for discharge paper and medication advice for my GP. I do not recommend this doctor. When I'll need psychiatrist I'dll ask for a different one. Thank you anyway for providing the service

Dr Deshpande is very caring, patient and passionate about what she does. The TMS that she specialises in is something that I was unsure about at first, but after just one week I have noticed significant results already and no side-effects like the antidepressants that were not effective for me in the past. I felt like I was an empty shell, but I am feeling more motivated and alive now. I highly recommend Dr Deshpande 👌

Dr Deshpande was incredible. She really listened to everything that I told her and gave me very credible options for the problems I was facing. She was very easy to talk to and very thorough in her diagnosis. Personally I could wait for a NHS psychiatric appointment, and this appointment was worth every penny. Highly recommended!
