“I'm writing to express my sincere appreciation for Dr. Patkar. I've been working with him for a number of years now, both in person and online, and have found him to be an invaluable resource in my mental health journey. Dr. Patkar provides a safe and comfortable space (both in person and online) to discuss my challenges, which have been significant. He listens attentively and without judgement, which has been crucial in building trust. He has a deep understanding of mental health conditions and medications and has been instrumental in developing a treatment plan that works for me. He is always up-to-date on the latest research and treatment options. In our most recent session, we discussed various trials of new treatments that will hopefully become available over the next year or so, and he was completely open to my desire to explore these options. Dr. Patkar explains things clearly and concisely, making sure I understand all aspects of my treatment. He works collaboratively with me, taking my input and preferences into account when making decisions about my care. Since working with Dr. Patkar, I've seen significant improvements in my mental health. I am better able to manage my challenges and live a more fulfilling life. On top of all of this, he is an extremely kind and caring individual. If you are looking for an extremely knowledgeable, supportive and effective psychiatrist, I highly recommend Dr. Patkar.”

“Dr. Patkar helped me when I was at one of the most difficult junctures of my life. His attention to detail, genuine care for his patients, and the vast knowledge he has accumulated throughout his career are what sets him apart. Vicki at the front desk is exceptionally nice and always helpful as well. Since coming under his care I have been able to realize and achieve many life goals that previously I thought unattainable. By far the best experience I have had with any doctor. I consider myself to be extremely grateful to have found him.”

“The reviews speak for themselves; Dr. Patkar is not only the best Psychiatrist I’ve ever had, but arguably the best doctor I’ve ever had. Dr. Patkar’s advantage is his extensive background in clinical and research experience. He can identify the small details, while also connecting them to the big picture. He has quite literally changed my life. His staff are also incredible; super friendly, diligent, and responsive to patient needs. The best psychiatric healthcare in the Triangle area by far.”
