I will affirm all these negative comments. Dr. Shukla brought my wife to tears as she sought help for her child with multiple cognitive challenges. He was 20 minutes late to his tele-appointment with us, then repeatedly asked us for information that was in the documents we supplied, interrupted and belittled Mother with the child on the call, and made multiple incorrect statements from the documentation we provided. When mother attempted to correct him, he interrupted and spoke down to her. Mother never even had an opportunity to actually state her concerns. We will be seeing another clinic. If you expect compassion and caring in a time of crisis, call someone else.

I have been a patient of Dr. Shukla for several years. I have found him to be kind, thoughtful, a great listener, and a great help. I highly recommend Dr. Shukla.

Worst experience I have ever had with a psych practice. Next worst practice is his ex-wife's psych practice. Why are they both so rude to their patients? Think about that!

My first visit it took a hour wait in the waiting. The receptionist is very rude. she said I had a $20 copay. Therefore. I paid it. I see the doctor and he is very judgemental and thinks everyone is out to do bad things. (is was in a car accident in 2009 and I filled a few perceptions he assumed I was going to abuse any medicine). they schedule me to come back. I call my insurance company and ask them why it wasn't free. they said the claim was paid and member owes nothing. I have met my out of pocket maximum. I had called to inquire about how I wanted to cancel the appointment and get the $20 back. all i got was busy signals from the office. I call back today to try to get this $20 back that I shouldn't have paid. well they added a no show charge to the top of it. I tried to reason with her and explain that they owe me $20. she said I have to pay the $40 first. this office steals money from its patients. the right thing to do after getting an EOB from the insurance company that said I paid and shouldn't have to. the right thing to do would be to send me a check for what I was not suppose to pay. This establishment clearly only cares about their wallets instead of the patients they care for.
