I would suggest:

  • Dr. Soumitra Pathare - you can get an appointment for him by calling up Ruby Hospital main line.

  • Dr. Shailesh Chowgule - clinic at Kothrud. Visits various hospitals around the city. 9422001070

  • If a child/adolescent is involved, then Dr. Bhooshan Shukla - http://childpsychiatrypune.com

(Yes, I've also had the bad experience of talking to the senior psychiatrists in Pune)

Thanks a lot Navin, One of my friend is visiting Dr Pathare and what I have heard from him doesn't encourage me to visit him. He seems to be too professional. It may be my false interpretation. I am suffering from bipolar disorder. Can you tell me Who is better between Dr Pathare and Dr Chouwgule as I dont want to take any chance, I want the right person this time.

Thanks

Aniruddha, both are good (or I wouldn't have recommended them here) - and medically, I believe both are sound. However their style of interaction might differ. Dr. Pathare is a very no-nonsense, no-mollycoddling, blunt person. Dr. Chowgule is more traditional/tactful in his dealings. Which approach works better maybe differs from patient-to-patient. Maybe what you should do is visit both of them and you'll get an idea of what works better for you. In my opinion, picking a psychiatrist is important enough that a session or two spent in evaluation is worth the trouble.

Dr Soumitra Pathare. I know 2 people very happy with him. Dr Bhooshan Shukla for child psychiatry.

For children, I would highly recommend Child Guidance Center, Sahyadri (www.cgcpune.com - website is still under development though).

I know the personally know the person, Radhika Bapat, who runs the show there and she is great.

Niloufer is a counsellor, not a psychiatrist.

Anand, I did not visit any psychiatrist as I am feeling better now...Yoga and Meditation helped me a lot and I tell you these practices only can cure your brain, I have been to a psychiatrist for 2 year, what they do is they relax your mind with medicines and you feel better...in severe cases one must visit the doctor but ultimately you have to start yoga and meditation...they clean you from the core...
