Dr. Shirley Rajan, M.D.

Our appointment was scheduled for 9:00 AM.  We arrived at 8:55 and proceeded to wait 25 minutes before asking if the doctor would be ready shortly.  The office staff proceed to inform us that the doctor has not yet arrived and they were unable to find her.  They repeatedly called her to which she did not respond. We gave her the benefit of the doubt and waited until 10:00. Our first though was "is she ok?"  However, the staff proceeded to tell us that this is not out of character and she indeed stands patients up, that we were not the first.  Needless to say, this is a mental health professional! The only positive thing I can say is the office staff is absolutely lovely.  They apologized profusely and did everything they possibly could do to contact her.  We drove 1 1/2 hours round trip, waited another hour for her to show up only to walk out frustrated.  Never again!!  I wish zero stars were an option, because 1 star is too generous.

I have seen Dr. Rajan for my mental illness that led me to be sent home from my university. She is the first and the most wonderful psychiatrist I have seen. She helped me gain insight into my issues, and came up with a plan to make it easier for me to manage my conditions. She was a light in my life during a very difficult time.
