I have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. People trivialize it and reduce it to repeated handwashing. But it’s much more debilitating than that. When I visited Dr. Handoo, my symptoms were out of control, and I couldn’t stop feeling anxious and fearing that this would hurt people I care about. He helped come up with the right medication plan for me and helped me to process my intrusive thoughts so much better. I now have a firmer grip on my mind than ever before. The difference has been night and day since I have started seeing ... read more

Iam a student, and I have acute anxiety. I have had it all my life, but I didn’t take it seriously for the longest time. But then it started to affect my functioning in college andpersonallife. So we scoured the internet and found Dr. Handoo. I visited him and itsbeen night and day since then. I don’t wake up during the night now, nor do I have frequent panic attacks over things such as presentations or meetings with my supervisor. Seeing Dr. Handoo has made a big difference in my life.

I met Dr. Handoo during one of the most severe depressive episodes of my life. I wouldn’t stop crying, and I all could think about was how I was a burden to my family even though they had never suggested feeling that way. After seeking help from Dr. Handoo, I got so much better and this is the best I have been doing in years.

I have struggled with depression. I have had the most acute episodes of depression, which have even led me to hurt myself. I have cut myself many times due to my overpowering sadness and despair. But ever since I have started my treatment with Dr. Handoo, I have been feeling much better. I have stopped hurting myself, no matter how horrible I think. Now I don’t feel as despondent as I used to. Things seem to be getting better for me, and I am hopeful that I’ll overcome my depression entirely soon.

I had severe anxiety before getting treatment by Dr. Handoo. When I came to him six months ago, I was going through one of the worst episodes of anxiety I had ever had. I couldn’t sleep at night, and if I ever did manage to fall asleep, I would wake up in the middle of the night with ragged breathing, drenched in sweat. I had been to multiple psychiatrists and therapists in hopes of getting better, but nobody could help me until I met Dr. Handoo. He helped me identify the trigger behind my anxiety and showed me plenty of way... read more

I had been struggling with depression since I was a teenager, and one of my friends recently told me about IV ketamine treatments she did with Dr. Handoo. I had heard from my own doctor and a few friends who did IV ketamine treatments that Dr. Handoo was the "ketamine doc" in Kansas City. Dr. Handoo explained everything in great detail at the time of our consult and explained his protocol. Ever since finishing ketamine treatments, it's been amazing to see the difference in my depression. My old self has finally come back. I ... read more

I was suffering from severe depression for many years and had tried every medication under the sun. Nothing was working. I researched TMS online and read about it and saw Dr. Handoo. I am very glad I did TMS. I feel like the fog I was in for so many years has finally lifted, and my depression is so much better since finishing TMS. Dr. Handoo and the TMS techs were amazing.

One of my friends told me about IV ketamine treatments for depression and told me to make an appointment with Dr. Handoo. I was scared at first about IV ketamine treatments, but Dr. Handoo explained everything to me and spent a lot of time discussing the procedure in detail. Since finishing IV ketamine treatments, I am finally free of the depression that consumed my life for so long, and am finally doing things that I enjoy. My energy and focus are so much better and IV ketamine treatments have given me a new life--the one I... read more

My friend has been raving about Dr. Handoo for a while now, and after I was frustrated with my own psychiatrist, I decided to make an appointment to see him. I didn't know what to expect when I first visited him but with each session, I found myself opening up to him and have been slowly getting better. He has a great demeanor and sense of humor and has really taken time to get to know me as a person.
