Patient Reviews
Jul 28, 2024
Dr. Pillai is standard by which all psychiatrists should be measured by and strive to emulate. I became a patient of his in late 2021 and I now drive an hour to see him since he has moved his practice. He truly takes the time to treat your entire body. He recommends vitamins and supplements in addition to lifestyle changes first before immediately going straight to medications; which I feel is very important (to start conservatively). He listens intently and takes a vested interest in your complete well being. I am so truly grateful to have found this consummate mental health professional and I, without any reservation, highly recommend him to anyone looking to find and be their best self.
