Patients Reviews

I have struggled with major depression disorder, debilitating anxiety & PTSD for most of my adult life. I’ve had several inpatient stays along with intensive outpatient sessions including cbt, dbt, emdr & ect. I have tirelessly rallied through every possible psychiatric script with very little (band-aide) success. I’ve existed my way through with diverse modalities. I am beyond grateful for Dr. Rajeev Verma @ KRISHNA for helping me tap into my internal dance. I cannot begin to express my thankfulness for Dr. Verma’s infallible compassion and exemplary dedication to his patients. His calm approach, compassion and proficient knowledge immediately helped to facilitate calmness through me. Ketamine has helped to slow my ruminating mind. Since receiving infusions I am able to make improvements to my function of daily life. It is truly an incredible experience. My intrusive anxiety and major depressive disorder have noticeably improved. I can breathe. It is with confidence and appreciation that I have the opportunity to highly recommend Dr. Rajeev Verma @ KRISHNA. My sincerest respect, Carolyn

Can't thank Dr. Verma enough. He's very compassionate and responsive. He doesn't just give meds and leave you to yourself. He's always present and gives guidance along your path to healing. I would highly recommend.

Dr. Verma is currently proving treatment for my daughter who has suffered with significant symptoms with anxiety, depression, and more. The way that he incorporates his compassion and understanding into her treatment plan is like nothing I have ever experienced. He is an amazing provider and we are so grateful to have him! She is on such a good path to healing with the Ketamine treatment and has been able to have such better days, we highly recommend Dr. Verma.

I am having a great experience with Dr. Verma! To begin with, he is extremely knowledgeable and communicates his knowledge freely and effectively, which was important to me in choosing a provider. He is happy to answer questions, to explain how ketamine works, etc. I feel I have learned a lot. On top of his strong competence, Dr. Verma is compassionate and personable, two other important parts of the treatment experience. He is very responsive and available to stay in touch via text, emails and phone calls. I feel very supported. I highly recommend him!

Dr Rajeev Verma, explained everything about the process very carefully. He’s a very genuine guy. I have only had one session with him so far, but I look forward to the next five sessions with him. I would definitely recommend him to friend.

I'm so glad that I chose to get this treatment with Dr. Verma. The improvement in my anxiety and depression began quickly and has been more than I expected. Dr Verma has a very calm and reassuring demeanor that helped me feel at ease with the experience, and he had insightful and compassionate advice about some specific issues that I mentioned to him. I highly recommend Dr Verma to anyone wanting to try ketamine treatment.

Dr. Verma is amazing! He listens and counsels and does everything in his power to help you feel better. My son has shown great improvement with his symptoms under Dr. Verma’s guidance and has walked away with strategies to help him moving forward. I highly recommend him.

I highly recommend KRICSNA and Dr V. It's hard to even put into words just how profound this therapy has been for my path to healing. I have lived in a state of fear and anxiety since an injury as a baby and other traumas throughout childhood, adolescence and adulthood. I have been in therapy for over 6 years including EMDR but hit a wall. Ketamine therapy pushed me over the wall and beyond. The insight and sense of peace that I have experienced has been deeply healing. I am working to maintain the peace I have achieved with a regular meditation practice. I see it like going to the dentist and having a deep cleaning of your teeth. You leave and they feel great but you also have to do your part to keep them clean. Same thing with creating new pathways in your brain. I can catch myself heading into old habits of negative thoughts and immediately observe this and redirect in a positive direction. We hear "I got my life back" in testimonials but as I have told Dr V, with living in a state of fear my entire life, I feel as if I "got my life" for the first time.

My daughter has a long h/o complex PTSD, severe depression and anxiety.It has taken a huge tole on her emotional and physical well-being.She has been treated with multiple medications and various different psychotherapy. One day she found out about Ketamine Therapy and decided to go for ketamine. I am glad that she chose to go for this treatment with Dr. Rajeev Verma at KRISCNA. His sincere compassion, expertise with soft voice created a very safe therapeutic environment and experience.My daughter has a very positive outcome. Her anxiety has decreased and able to forgive certain people who were obstacles in her healing.The changes and improvements have been profound. As a result she has a deeper perspective and connections with self which is great motivation to move forward. I would highly recommend to anyone who suffers from similar struggles.
