What our patients says about us
Dr. Milan Balakrishnan is one of the few psychiatrists in India who is trying to change the perception of the people about mental fitness – that one visits a psychiatrist only when one is mentally ill. His efforts in doing so are commendable.I have been personally following his articles over the web and his ideologies and command over human psychiatry are crystal clear. I have been lucky enough to attend one of his several public sessions which have been thought provoking and knowledgeable.He is all ears towards your problems and hears out everything that one has to share with him.I would sincerely recommend Dr.Milan to anyone and everyone who is in need of any kind of assistance – be it even a stress relieving session.

I had visited Dr. Milan Balakrishnan as my Psychiatrist, as I had Trichotillomania(Hair pulling illness) and Generalised Anxiety disorder, I think that he’s one of the best Psychiatrist as well as a Psychotherapist in Mumbai. And I would refer him to anyone out there who has a mental illness and definitely to visit Dr. Milan Balakrishnan as a psychiatrist and a psychotherapist. For my treatment he has done the best he could and I have also now 80 to 90% stopped pulling my hair and the credit all goes to Dr. Milan Balakrishnan. Thank You So much Dr. Milan for cooperating with me and treating my illness.

Believe he is the best and an incredible psychiatrist. His approach to his patients is very friendly and he understands what you are trying to say and the amazing part is you need not speak much to him he understands everything with few points. I would request people who suffer from depression, anxiety or any psychological problem open up never hide leave the social stigma, people are not going to come and treat you and feed you for your life. Take a step go to the doctor I assure it will help you. I would strongly recommend doctor Milan Balakrishna for this.

Posted on vandana kalaniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rashi Harchandani I had been struggling with vertigo and imbalance since June 2023. Despite consulting multiple specialists—ENTs, orthopedists, physiotherapists, and even trying acupressure—the episodes persisted. While some treatments provided temporary relief, the symptoms never fully subsided. In February 2024, my vertigo worsened again, leading me to finally consult a neurologist, who diagnosed me with BPPV. Though the spinning reduced with treatment, I started experiencing severe anxiety, restlessness, and a fear of being alone, likely due to the prolonged distress and late diagnosis. In June 2024, I decided to consult Dr. Milan Balakrishnan, and I truly feel I got into the right hands. His treatment and guidance have helped me immensely, not just in managing my anxiety but in regaining my confidence and sense of normalcy. Now, in February 2025, I feel much better and am gradually returning to my everyday life. Dr. Milan Balakrishnan’s expertise, patience, and compassionate approach have been instrumental in my recovery, and I highly recommend him to anyone struggling with similar issues. Thank you, Doctor, for your unwavering support! I truly appreciate your guidance and hope to achieve complete recovery under your care.Posted on Raghav JhaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Dr Milan Balakrishna has been a huge blessing for us. My 63 year old deaf & mute uncle is suffering from bipolar disorder since the past 2 decades. Earlier, we used to take medication from another senior psychiatrist from Masina (he is no longer with Masina now). But after couple of years we faced severe side effects and my uncle got seriously ill. He even had to get admitted to the ICU. Once he recovered, we started looking for another doctor. We tried several other doctors' medication but looking at my uncle's age and recent history of side effects, no-one was able to help us much. Consequently, uncle's aggression & violence also increased day by day. This is when we came to know about Dr Milan Balakrishna. By the grace of Almighty, with couple of session with my uncle he designed a very balanced medication for him. Now my deaf and mute uncle is totally independent & cooperative since 4 years! Unlike earlier, we don't require any 24x7 caretaker for him. He is doing all his day to day activities very well on his own. Also he is taking medicines willingly and regularly. May God bless Dr Balakrishna for his excellent counseling and treatment. He has been successful handling our case since 4 years now without any issues. He is truly a gem of a doctor.Posted on siddhu nisarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent. Best DoctorLoad more
