- "Working with Dr. Rayikanti has improved my life in ways that I didn’t know were possible. I have seen other doctors for my diagnosis for over 20 years and Dr. Rayikanti is the first doctor that I worked with where I have had a vast improvement in my quality of life. Dr. Rayikanti asks a lot of questions and really listens to me. I feel that she understands me and she isn’t just giving generic therapy as many of my past providers did. After just a few months of working with Dr. Rayikanti, I was back into being involved with life, like I hadn’t been for quite a while. Dr. Rayikanti also explained my diagnosis very well. Understanding what is happening in my brain has helped me recognize why I may feel discomfort at times and I am able to work through it, rather than have the discomfort take over. I am forever grateful that I found Dr. Rayikanti and I look forward to working with her for as long as I can." -P.K.

I really appreciate how she's implemented a "whole-person" approach to health. Eight months later I’m renewed, energized, supported and empowered to live a full life." -N.P.

- "Working with Dr Rayikanti over the last year to diagnose and treat ADHD in middle-age had improve not just my work life, but has also alleviated ways ADHD was impacting my home life. At work, I'm able to concentrate in meetings better, keep track of the small details, and make reliable progress on the bigger projects. Outside of work, I'm able to break the pattern of lethargy on the weekends to engage more with hobbies, friends, and family. The diagnostic process was thorough and included multiple dimensions including physical health. It's reassuring to know that my brain just is built differently and find ways to work with it. We had to try a few medications and dosages to get the right one, and Dr. Rayikanti asked questions to learn how each one was -- and was not -- working for me. The progress over the last year has been clear and worth the effort we put into it." -E.S.

Dr. Ruth taught me strategies to recognize and manage ADHD symptoms, resulting in improved focus. She's the go-to professional for anyone seeking expert guidance on managing mental health." -J.P.

Through working with Dr. Ruth I gained deeper knowledge on adult ADHD, and even connected some dots of my childhood/early adult experiences that may be related. My ability to focus has improved quite a lot. It helped me get through a very demanding period at work. I feel much more confident and well equipped to tackle new challenges. Dr. Ruth has a very thoughtful and comprehensive approach to evaluation, diagnosis and treatment. I received various computer based, blood/genetics testings. Dr. Ruth also gave very professional yet easy to understand interpretations of those test results. When it comes to treatments, Dr Ruth does a great job of finding the best choice/dosage while always respecting my preferences and addressing any concerns. She also recommended various supplements tailored to my situation and needs that make a noticeable improvement. So if you're an adult struggling with ADHD I highly recommend Dr. Ruth as an excellent guide on your journey to healing and improvements!" -P.L.

She really listened to me and understood my concerns. She guided me through genetic testing, and patently explained different options, and helped me through trials of new medications. She was super careful to help me make the changes slowly, so I was comfortable. She also supported me through an extremely difficult time at work, and I really trust her to help manage my medications and factor in everything going on in my life. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for ADHD support." -I.S.
