- Hi I would receomend Dr Konappa , definitely. I have not received the report from the consultation yet though. He was very relaxed and made the experience much less daunting and out us at ease.
- Dr Konappa has been very good at understanding my symptoms. He is professional and caring, and I trust him to guide me through my treatment.
- Having 3 prev psychs that were focused on only one of my diagnoses, and not me as a whole, Dr Konappa has been a godsend. When I was struggling he responded immediately to make sure I was ok. He considers options and doesn't rush decisions, he listens and cares. I trust him.
- Having 3 previous psychiatrists that weren't concerned about me or the interplay of my various diagnoses, Dr Konappa has been a godsend. He sees beyond the diagnoses and is clearly passionate about his clients. He was available when I was not coping and I trust him completely.
