Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Ballamudi has saved my life (literally) a couple times. She has been so compassionate, understanding and genuine. My mental health has improved more in the last 3 years with her than it has the 40 years before her.

I had one appointment with her, that I couldn’t finish (video call I hung up on tears) due to how appalled I was on how she was handling my situation. As a young adult who finally had the courage to sought out help, talking to Ballamudi just brought out all my negative feelings, more like talking to a therapist than identifying my issues. She also randomly brought up substances abuse almost like she assumed I was on drugs, and asked how long i’ve been using drugs without me mentioning anything about them. She didn’t ask me any of the normal screening questions for mental health, my primary doctor and social workers have asked me more than she has. She just reconfirmed and brought up traumas, saying I had a rough life then told me I should do therapy when I expressed I hadn’t benefited from therapy in the past. If you’re looking for answers, diagnosis do yourself a favor and find someone else
