What we treat
Full detailsThe approach
Treating the person, not just the diagnosis.
Unhurried first visit
Roughly 60 minutes - enough time to understand your history, concerns, and goals before anything else.
Collaborative treatment
Treatment plans are built together. Every medication decision is explained, including what to expect and when to reassess.
Continuity
Solo practice means you'll see the same doctor at every visit. Care is coordinated with your PCP and therapist.
The practice
A small, family-run office.
The practice is run by Dr. Patil and his wife Purnima, who handles scheduling, billing, and insurance. When you call, you'll speak with her.
Keeping things small means every patient is known personally. Calls are returned. Records are coordinated. Nothing falls through the cracks.
