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.

Wonderful doctor who cares
Dr.Ghelani is a knowledgeable and caring doctor. He always takes his time and makes sure to address any concern or question I have with compassion and understanding. Making appointments is easy and when the occasion has arisen that I need to contact him to change my appointment, he consistently answers and does everything he can to accommodate a last minute schedule change. I can’t say enough about his professionalism. It doesn’t always seem like doctors truly care but Dr. Ghelani is the exception!! I would recommend him to anyone who wants a doctor to listen and provide responsible care.

Changed my life
I was so scared to reach out for help and had just been “dealing with it” for so long. I finally made an appointment and started Dr. Janak Ghelanis program. Within a month it was truly life changing. He really is compassionate when you speak and he LISTENS. I don’t feel like I’m being judged and he never shames you. He helps you fix the root cause and gives you a plan to make changes everyday. If you’re hesitant about making an appointment….just know 60 days from now, as long as you put in the work your life will be so much better. I am so thankful that I found a kind and caring doctor like this.

Only thing that has worked
After years of being misdiagnosed, I am so thankful I found Dr. Ghelani. I was slightly skeptical about the ADHD diagnosis after the test, but when Dr. Ghelani verbalized everything I have been struggling with all my life in a way that I never could, I trusted he could help. He uses clinical reasoning to determine the protocols he prescribes and it has changed my life. I cannot believe how much I struggled for 46 years. I highly recommend Dr. Ghelani.

Doc has been awesome for my daughter and myself. My daughter's meds and time with Dr. Ghelani have shown great improvement in her behavior and grades. Always makes it a point to listen and provide feedback. If you need a good Doc give them a call.

Worth the time and money
I came to Dr. Ghelani as a result of suffering from ADHD and OCP symptoms. He provided coping skills as well as a path forward based on sound analysis and testing. I was at a delicate moment and really needed help/guidance. Definitely worth the money if your insurance doesn't cover him as a provider.

I actually was a former patient of Dr. Ghelani in another practice he was part of. After a while, I came over to the ADHD center and asked if he could take me as a new patient. (Understandably) he asked if I could try out another practitioner due to being overbooked, slammed with appointments, as I’m sure if any of you have seen a psychiatrist before know already. I actually ended up not finding anyone to take me on as they had full schedules as well. I didn’t call back because I have great respect for the man and wanted to do everything I could before asking him to take an even bigger case load (I understand the struggle as I worked in the medical field). Get this-Dr. Ghelani called ME back to ask if I had found someone. When I told him I had made an effort he didn’t hesitate and took me on. I am a former paramedic who, apparently, had PTSD before ever going in the medical field. I also think I carried some of it home FROM the medical field. He helped me treating it during my tenure

I have the utmost trust in His knowledge and 100% agreed with His diagnosis and gradual introduction of meds. I honestly feel like He cares. With that said. I couldn't ever get a call back. I only called because the patient portal through which He told Me to use if I had questions wasn't getting any responses either. My request was to change my 2 instant release doses that equaled 30 mg daily to 1 extended release 30 mg daily. Same drug. I believe that is a reasonable request seeing as my schedule is busy like so many others is. I'd take to late after lunch or get distracted at a customer lunch bid and not take until 1 or 2 when 11:30 Am was My dose time. First at 5:30 after breakfast before meetings. Which worked fine until life happens. He not only ignored this resonable request 2 months in a row that I submitted via His protocol, His wife i'm assuming that's who She is anyway answered the 3rd month and kept Me on phone an hour wasting My time. Not even my doctor, only to insult Me.

Dr.Ghelani is amazing with our family. He listens and gives you tools to help situations that cause anxiety or stress. He honestly cares about his patients , he makes sure you have a plan of action to meet the upcoming days and weeks ahead. He is easy to talk to and always makes sure you understand your treatment. 2020 was a hard year for everyone but he was our bright light.

Dr. Ghelani has helped change my life and worked diligently with me to get my mental health back to were it should be. Before I started meeting with Dr. Ghelani I was in a bad place but, he has worked with me over the last year and truly been such a blessing. He is patient and very understanding, he worked with me on my medication as well as daily routines and now I feel better than ever. I highly recommend Dr Ghelani and would to anyone. 5 out of 5 stars!!

Dr. Ghelani seems to be a very kind and sincere person. He has been treating my young adult son and my son really likes him and feels comfortable working with him. Because of the awkward situation of having an "adult" son who needed my help getting things arranged for treatment, there was some confusion initially about how the communication for appointments was to work but I think that has been sorted out. Pretty sure that would have been true with any provider though and is more a reflection of our situation than anything else. Dr. Ghelani took the initiative to follow up on that issue, which I greatly appreciate.

I have been a patient of Dr. Ghelani’s for some time and he is excellent. He has treated my children as well. I have seen many psychiatrists over 20 years as I my occupation requires frequent relocation. He is the best I have seen. My diagnosis was never correct and therefore impossible to treat. He worked through my family history and my current issues and made the correct diagnosis and is treating the condition very well. I will be forever grateful for his care. Highly recommend.
