Restore Wellness - Psychiatrist in Fishkill NY: Varinder S. Rathore, M.D.

“I had such a great experience with Dr Rathore. From the moment I walked in, I felt heard and understood. They truly took the time to listen to my concerns and didn’t rush through the appointment, which made all the difference. It’s not easy to find a doctor who genuinely cares about helping you feel your best, but I finally found one. I left feeling confident, supported, and optimistic about my health. I’m so grateful and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a provider who really takes the time to understand you.”

“Riddhisha and the staff at the Restore Wellness office have been absolutely amazing. This was my first time ever visiting a psychiatry office and I was extremely nervous. I cannot say enough great things about how kind and patient she has been throughout the whole process. She truly listens to any concerns I have and makes me feel heard. I never feel rushed and whenever I have a question the office is quick to call me back and help. I highly recommend this practice, they are great.”

“Dr. Rathore is one of the most genuinely kind and good human beings I've had the pleasure to know. He takes his time to listen, is well informed, collaborative, and truly cares about his clients. He helped me through the loss of my child. I am a LMHC and refer my own clients to his care.”

“Dr. Rathore is, without question, the most compassionate and attentive psychiatrist I’ve ever worked with. From the very first appointment, he made me feel heard, respected, and completely at ease. He doesn’t rush through sessions or talk over you—instead, he listens carefully, asks thoughtful questions, and reflects back what you’re feeling in a way that makes you feel genuinely understood. His bedside manner is exceptional: calm, warm, and reassuring. Even when discussing difficult topics, he maintains a gentle, steady presence that makes it easier to open up. He explains diagnoses and treatment options clearly, without jargon, and always makes sure I’m comfortable with the plan moving forward. I’ve never felt like “just another patient” with him—he remembers details, checks in on how things are going in my life, and genuinely cares about my progress. Thanks to Dr. Rathore, I feel more hopeful, stable, and empowered than I have in years. I would recommend his practice without hesitation to anyone looking for a psychiatrist who combines deep clinical expertise with true empathy and outstanding bedside manner.”
