Dr. Shalini Varma, MD, Board Certified Psychiatrist

“Dr. Shalini Varma is excellent psychiatrist. She cares about her patients and makes me feel heard, seen, validated and safe from the first time speaking with her. She shows sincerest empathy while still being professional and smart with her words. She has a very inviting office setting with anything that would make an individual feel safe and comforting, instead of like a regular doctor's office. She is full of energy, and her staff is especially helpful. She took her time to respond to inquire me about any medications she has prescribed me. During our appointments, I really liked the stress toys she had to help me decompress while I told her about my thoughts, my situation in life, and whatever else I needed to talk about.

Even Linda, the front desk receptionist, supports me with my visits and ensures that there is good communication about everything in my files, which I find admirable. It feels like home in this office. Her care has enhanced my quality of life.”

“I am glad I met Dr Varma and found her on Facebook. I have debilitating anxiety and she helped decrease and adjust my medication to help me. She has in person appointments which are much better than online ones. She is always available quickly when I need her. She has one on one appointments with me for 30 minutes every week which includes therapy. I dont feel like a number that is being rushed out of the room like other doctors offices . She is much more of an expert than my NP was. I didn’t realize how much of a difference an MD made. She met my husband and helps with all of my medical problems as well in terms of advocating for my care.”

“Dr Varma helped me with a school emergency and got me in the next evening for an emergency appointment. She has been very helpful working with my mom also so she understands my condition and treatment. There was paperwork that needed to be done for my school and she filled it out quickly and accurately. Dr Varma is accommodating and keeps track of all of my medical and psychiatric needs. I highly recommend her for someone with anxiety and depression.”

“I have seen Dr Varma for ten years. She has helped me a great deal with anxiety. I have received excellent care over the years. She is available when I have emergencies and flare ups and easy to contact. I highly recommend people see her for medication and therapy. I don’t have panic attacks anymore and am not longer going to the emergency room as I had 5 times.”
