Dr. Mehta introduced the cumulative process of Integrated Health modalities that sensitively consider my complex physiological challenges and chronic pain.

I feel like Dr Mehta was more interested in leaving for the day than providing me care. His best advice to me was to manifest being healthy. It was extremely frustrating to be told that I'm a "healthy young woman" when I have symptoms that he seemed to be concerned about (and that other doctors are concerned about). The visit made me feel like I am too complicated for Dr Mehta and he didn't want to deal with me or my medical issues. [redacted]

This provider, Dr. Mehta, was kind, efficient, informed of my case, and gave me some interesting choices. Very helpful conversation!

It just felt like a commercial for a group. He was mostly pushing the group or reading my chart. He provided information about a group but no tools or help with pain management

[redacted] Dr. Mehta spent a great deal of time looking at another monitor with my chart, which became rude. I was referred because of my diagnosis of FND with Mixed Symptoms. It would have been helpful to explore further the Successful Aging program therapies.
