I am a physician. I brought my son to Dr. Peddu. This was 6 years ago. He was suffering from Asperger’s. She was horribly poor in way she told him that he had Asperger’s. It should have been done gentler. Not “You have Asperger’s.” She should read T. Atwood’s Complete Guide to Asperger’s. She could have focused not on the diagnosis but what he was suffering from and that a medication could be tried and would often be of help. My son was able to find another psychiatrist who treats him with respect. I will acknowledge that my... read more

I've been seeing Dr Peddu for about 5 years now. She is medicine management. She sees gets a diagnostic of your symptoms, tries different meds, & monitors your behavior. Getting the right cocktail is a process, & she has tried meds on me & I explained to her my med history. She checks to see if I would get better & adjust as needed. Yes your appointments are 5 min but if you need counseling it is easier to have a shrink & her then the combination that is a 6 month waiting list.

Unless the patient displays evidence of a very treatable form of depression, anxiety, or another well-known diagnostic codes, Dr. Peddu will refuse to treat them. I sent a neurological report from a previous harvard-educated neurologist, as well as the paperwork from my former psych doc. Dr. Peddu accepted my copay and told me she would advise, then waited two weeks before saying she wouldn't prescribe controlled substances that I've been on for years. She treats patients like addicts.

Made appointment in same week, attentive staff, they helped me with my medications being approved quickly. DR Peddu made me feel safe and listened to me.

Very disappointed with Dr.Peddu and her staff. Front desk staff are unfriendly and rude. During my very first appointment, Dr. P spent 5 minutes with me max. She asked about my current symptoms only.She was not thorough, did not ask about my mental health history or my family health history. I was being seen for depression and she didn't even ask if I was suicidal! That is Psyc 101. She was quick to diagnose me and send me out the door with a RX. I felt worse after i left :( I will not go back

rushes you out the door, does not ask specific questions about my symptoms and how medication has been managing it. Doesn't ask me about other conditions that I have. Strictly there to write a prescription. Sees 5 patients in 15 minutes (I've counted). Plus side is she has a lot of appointment availability.

I wrote a previous review and left a one star. But when I went back a second time, everything was different. She is helpful and I guess I would recommend her to others.
