Dr. Challapalli spent the majority of the appointment talking at me. He asked me minimal questions about my mental health or my life. He asked me nothing about family history of mental health. He did* ask me if I have a boyfriend, or whether I've ever had a boyfriend, and why I broke up with my last boyfriend. He encouraged that my life will improve when I meet somebody I can incorporate my life with (APA ethical guidelines encourage against pushing personal worldviews on clients) I felt worse leaving his office after the appointment. I did not feel supported or heard. He also had his phone ringer on during our appointment, answered a phone call, forgot what he was talking about, asked me to remind him, and never apologized for answering the phone. I hope my experience is a unique one and others do not go through something like this. Mental health is extremely important and I encourage everyone to find a provider who is best for them.

I So Happy We Found the Right Doctor!
Dr. Challapalli was very polite and spent a very caring amount of time listening and asking questions in order to help steer my daughters treatment in the right direction. Everything her prior Dr. said was more of a "Because I said so" approach and nothing she demanded was working. Dr. Challapalli had a MUCH kinder, caring, & understanding approach and he explained his diagnosis and reasonings very well.

Horrible
I saw Dr. Challapalli because I needed to switch doctors. I had already been treated for bipolar disorder, anxiety and MDD for nearly a decade when I went to him, but the only thing he was concerned about was my weight. I did not go to a psychiatrist to be fat shamed. Terrible "doctor".
