Dr. Tejal Jakatdar, PHD

Sadly, I found Tejal at a difficult point in my life. Her unprofessionalism was offensive; always starting meetings late only to end them early. One time, she didn't even show up to our appointment and I was left knocking at her office door confused. She did little to help my OCD, but I was thankful for her diagnosis. I always felt rushed and she would quickly ask about payment before my hour was up. I felt like she didn't really care about if I got better or not. Unfortunately, my experience with her discouraged me from seeking further professional help and from treating my OCD. Her treatment was definitely not for me and I couldn't recommend her to anyone. But don't let my review discourage you, just take my words with a grain of salt.

Hands down the worst psychologist I have ever been to! She's extremely condescending, rude and greedy for money. She profoundly lacks empathy towards OCD sufferers, trauma survivors or anyone with disabilities. She started of by forcing me to wait in her lobby despite her being done with the other patients, while she opens the door and strolls over into the lobby to make herself some coffee. Only once the clock starts she rudely barked at me to enter. Then she gave a long annoying boring lecture about OCD, without any new information. Her mannerisms are absolutely atrocious, she tries to come across as cold, strict and condescending as possible. Then she claims that she wouldn't create any kind of treatment plan for OCD without wasting 4 sessions interrogating me. After 45 minutes she literally shooed me out of the office and slammed the door in my face. During the next session she asked me inappropriate questions and tried to force me to answer them and acted aggressively when I re

Didn't attempt to connect with our daughter during first visit. Charges extra for credit card payments and prefers cash payments directly to her. Very sketchy and unprofessional IMHO.

Dr. Jakatdar has literally changed the way I think about life and has allowed me to live each day better than I ever have before. She helped me overcome my OCD demons and taught me all the necessary tools to live the rest of my life in the best way I can. I couldn't recommend anyone better to help with anxiety and OCD related issues.

When I say that Tejal has changed my life, it is an understatement. I don't actually know how to fully express the incredible benefits of being her patient and how different my life is now. Under her therapy and guidance I have conquered OCD to the extent that I forget I even have it! We also worked together on social anxiety, perfectionism, body image, and self-esteem and I have so greatly improved on every one of them. I am so grateful to have met Tejal and I would recommend her to anyone.

Dr.Jakatdar is an excellent clinical psychologist. She is very patient and listened to my issues. The treatment plan worked really well for me.
