I am not one to usually leave reviews but I think Dr Gajwani and his whole team deserve all the praise. From the front staff to all the providers who work with the Dr. I’ve been seeing Dr Gajwani for a while now, this man has helped me in so many ways I can’t even begin to explain. I must say I am really saddened about Stephanie who has now left the practice was one of the most amazing receptionist a office could have,Always pleasant and caring and squeezing me in when I desperately needed an appointment.Thank you Dr Gajwani and staff

Dr. Gajwani is wonderful! It’s a great change to have such a present doctor. Thank you for all you do.

I have had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Gajwani for almost 4 years. I cannot begin to explain the positive impact he has made on my mental health. His entire clinic is very professional and welcoming. I’ve never seen a doctor that I truly felt LISTENED to me and cared, until I began to see Dr. Gajwani. Even my mom and sister noticed a huge difference in my well-being once I began to see him. I don’t normally leave reviews, but if you are struggling with any mental health issues, you will not be disappointed with Dr. Gajwani. He has genuinely changed my life for the better. I am forever grateful.

Im not one to leave reviews but its the least I can do. Ive been seeing Sofia Zafar for about half a year and she has been so patient with me, understanding and encouraging as I battled Anxiety and depression. Thank you for helping me to feel what it is like to be happy and carefree again.

I have gone to Dr. Gajwani for several years now and can say that he is very professional and knowledgeable. The only issue I have is with the staff. The receptionist, Stephanie, has been rude or unwelcoming on several occasions. She never smiles and is very kurt in her demeanor. She is not a people person at all which is the only reason I am giving this establishment a lower rating. With the exception of Stephanie, everyone else is great!

I have been battling anxiety for years, Sophia Zafar turned my life around. She was patient and kind and very skilled in her work. Thanks to her, my days got so much easier.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Gajwani for almost 11 years now. He has shepherded me through both good times and awful times. I can’t say enough good things about Dr G. and his staff. They have become like family to me. He’s genuinely concerned about my well-being and I can speak to him about anything. His management of my medications is exceptional. Thank you Dr G for all you’ve done for me and my family!!

I have been using Solace for over a year and if you are looking for a team of experts that will get behind you and cheer you on, look no further. I dont know that I would be here today without these wonderful, compassionate, and caring providers. The entire staff, from the front desk to the billing department, are positive and professional. I especially recommend Zareen Bhandara and Sophia Zafar as they are the providers I have had personal experience with.

I have been going to Solace Psychiatry and seeing Sophia Zafar for the last 2 years. Initially I was going to appointments in office- prior to covid. The office atmosphere is very clean, calming and everyone was friendly and professional. Now my appointments are in the comfort of my home, virtually, with the same care and attention to detail of both my mental and physical health. My anxiety and depression have plagued my life for the last 20 years but after treatment with Sophia Zafar, I can finally say, I have my depression and anxiety under control. She is very thorough, kind and professional. I am grateful for Sophia and Solace psychiatry for properly addressing my mental health needs which has enabled me to enjoy life once again.

I have been seeing Dr. Gujawani for a little over 3 years. Hes been ever so patient and consistent in his care. He doesnt take a lot of your time on unnecessary things. Hes good at getting to the point and assessing your needs. Im doing much better now and I know Dr. Gujawani has played a major role in that. I personally know at least two other people in my circle who see him and they share the same sentiments. Hes always teaching and training others, but respects your desire to see him alone if thats your need and/or preference at the time. Hes very knowledgeable and has the best mannerisms for a doctor. I appreciate him and his staff.

My step daughter has been going here for a year and a half now. She appreciates Dr Gajwanis consistency and professionalism immensely. Also I must credit the receptionist Stephanie, as my daughter loves her accent and her warm personality and how she calms her before the appointment.

Since my relative began going here and seeing the Dr, they have seen remarkable improvement in how they manage their behaviour and anxiety. When covid lock down began it was tough, the adjustment seemed impossible but your staff was extremely helpful and understanding with Stephanie the receptionist, reminding my relative of her appointments and helping with the adjustment and always so friendly.

Ive been coming to see Dr. Gajwani for a little over 3 years. This place has been a total God-send! Ive struggled my whole adult life with depression and anxiety that has held me back. Dr. Gajwani has been so patient and consistent with my treatment, and thankfully Ive been able to feel normal again. No matter what is going on, Dr. G is always available to help. Even in the middle of Harvey, he returned my call and answered every concern I had. And now with Covid, hes been there to help this whole time, Ive been a total mess with everything going on. The staff is great, theyre super duper friendly and accommodating. Stephanie, the receptionist is the best! Shell always make sure to fit you in when you need to be seen. So grateful for this place.

My mom (the patient) and I absolutely love this office and every staff member in it! After eight weeks of TMS therapy, they helped me put together a private celebration as a token of love & appreciation for her. Their professionalism, overall character and genuine care for my mother was always felt and very much appreciated. I would recommend this office to anyone needing those specific types of services! Koel was the best and Dr. G is amazing! My husband and I have seen a big difference in my mom as a result of the treatment she received from their office. 5 Stars hands down! -Bea & Tina

They are extremely attentative to your needs and questions. They are patient with you and do their best to accomodate you. My depression and psychosis have been getting substantially better thanks to their care.

During these unprecedented times my depression and anxiety have been through the roof. I have been able to have virtual visits with Dr. Gajwani in the comfort of my own home. The clinic has been open where so many have closed during Covid. Dr. Gajwani and his staff, i just want to say thank you so much.

Dr. Gajwani and his staff are incredible. They are all wonderful caring human beings and a true blessing to those of us who are cursed with depression. Unlike so many other doctors. Dr. G Is not content to push pills, but constantly seeks out cutting edge treatments. He has a gift for hiring people who actually want to see patients recover and are willing to put forth the effort to make that happen. Their attention to detail is exceptional. The Solace Center is indeed a bright beacon of hope in a very dark wilderness of misery.

Im truly speechless with the results i recieved from solace. I wanted to send a special thanks to Dr. Sophia. She is very sweet and so nice, definitely keeping her as my doctor as long as i can. Its very hard to find a good doctor who understands the importance of building a connection and trust. The lady that works the front desk booking appointments. She is very nice and has awesome customer service. William kao is definitely my gardian angel. That man literally took me out of my mental turmoil. His material, techniques, illustrations, challenges is so profound and accurate. Just talking about it is bringing me to tears, because i truly believed that i would never defeat or gain control over my problem, but that definitely changed with my experience at solace and staff. Thank you again and God bless.

I was referred by a friend to Dr Gajwani and I have been a patient of his for last 29 years, I have multiple medical issues and he is one of the good doctors who is able to understand and manage my medications safely, he has provided me hope and comfort in my low periods, He has a nice, professional and competent team, I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good psychiatrist.

This is the finest medical care I have ever experienced. The doctors and staff go above and beyond to make both patients and family feel welcome and extremely well cared for. As a patient I was given every opportunity to share my thoughts and give input and feedback about my treatment. I would recommend Dr. GAJWANI and his entire team to anyone wishing to receive the best care possible.

Dr gashwani is alright. everyone at the front is completely unprofessional and rude, especially when you call for refills, questions, appointments etc. ive had them not take payment and then call me 3 months later saying i owe $100. since covid appts are virtual. had one today at 2:15 and never got a call from the portal or from my doctor. i emailed to ask what happened and reschedule. got no email back. Also a few months ago when i was really struggling with mental health Dr Gashwani got annoyed with me because my meds werent working out and i guess my depression and lack of motivation inconvenienced him. he raised his voice at me and is generally very quick to get me out of the room. ive told him 3+ times about my extreme anxiety attacks and anxiety in general and refuses to give me any medicine for it. he prescribed me something for anxiety attacks and said “use in those times u really need it” yet this certain med takes weeks to months to get into your system. when i got my gene sight test done last year, it took over a month to get my results back from the lab which were “inconclusive” so then i had to follow up with the lab instead and go back to Solace to get it done once again. over all the staff is just not good

Very professional and knowledgeable staff. Always friendly and courteous to customers. My experiences have been exceptional.

Dr. Gajwani along with his awesome staff of practitioners has often been key to the effective person centered treatments provided to my Essence Engaged Therapy clients. Many of the clients I have referred to The Solace Center for medication management or other needed services comment on the pleasant, personable experiences they have had as well as the improvements the care they received there has had on their symptoms.

Erica Bruce, the clinical director, has no respect for anyone elses time but her own. She is often late for appointments (I can only think of a couple of appointments she was actually on time for - and thats being generous) and she frequently, VERY frequently, had her office call to reschedule my appointments only ONE HOUR beforehand. On a recent visit, I sat in the lobby of her office waiting, because she was late as usual, and overheard the receptionist tell two patients on the phone that there would be a fee for a same day cancellation. Like most health care professionals, she charges a fee if you miss an appointment or call the same day to cancel. However, she has double standards when it comes to this practice. On the day of my next appointment one week later, her office called ONE HOUR BEFOREHAND to reschedule my appointment AFTER they had already confirmed it. I understand things happen and I would be more than forgiving and willing to overlook this but it happens WAY too often. She has managed to keep 3 of the past 6 appointments I had. The other 3 appointments were cancelled ONE HOUR beforehand. The hypocrisy and lack of professionalism she holds on this matter is just phenomenal and flabbergasting to me. How is she supposed to help people if she cant even keep their appointments?

I think the staff are very helpful and really majm you feel at home.

I have been seeing Dr.Gajwani for the last 6 months and I have seen such a great change in myself. Even my friends and family have noticed a difference in my mood. Dr. Gajawani, not only is a wonderful Dr but he actually listens it hard to find a Dr that will actually also listen to the patient. The offices are also very lovely and calming.

Every expierence I had here was wonderful. The employees are so professional and hardworking. You can see and feel how much they love their job, and are willing to go out of their way to help you. I’m so happy I picked The Solace Center.

This place saved my life. This isn’t an exaggeration. Dr. Prashat and his assistant Sophia I believe, have turned my life around. I have seen multiple psychiatrists before Riverstone. One neglected/abandoned me and wouldn’t answer my calls or emails, another one was willing to hand me over any type of pills I’d request which is a bad sign. I was at the lowest point when I first went to riverstone. I wanted to give up so badly. I felt suicidal, alone, depressed.. panic attacks 24/7.. While Dr.Prashat suspected I could be bipolar, his assistant diagnosed me a few months later. I had been on Zoloft and clonazepam 1mg as needed. While I felt a small change it wasn’t enough. I felt like I was spiraling. Once they added mood stabilizers and weaned me off of Zoloft and into cymbalta I FINALLY felt happiness slowly enter my life again. Of course I still deal with mood swings and depression but it is VERY manageable, along with my anxiety. I thank the staff as well. Very kind. They care about you! The doctors express so much concern and listen. They pay so well attention and are very thorough. I would recommend this place to ANYONE out there who is struggling mentally and needs help. ❤️

As a psychotherapist in the community, I searched for the right psychiatrist to entrust my clients to when needed and one that would work collaboratively to achieve a clients end goal of overall health. I am thankful I found Dr. Gajwani. Not only is he extremely knowledgable in psychotropic medicine, he takes the time to really get to know his patients and is very caring and compassionate. The feedback from my clients that have met with him is very positive... they feel understood and very well taken care of. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a psychiatrist that will provide a comfortable and caring experience.

A very respectful place. EACH AND EVERY ONE of the staff members CARE about what they do; the ultimate professionals. THANK YOU!!! ... I highly recommend this place!!!

Just visited and loved it ! Everyone is super nice. Thanks so much

Dr. Gajawani and the staff at the Solace Center are amazing! I have had chronic depression since I was in my twenties, but now in my seventies I feel like a new person. I began Trans-cranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy, and after two weeks, I woke up one morning and realized I was different. I felt as though a fog had lifted. I had energy to start my day. The depression was gone.The staff has been wonderful, friendly and professional. Stephanie greets me warmly when I arrive, and Koel, who is in charge of my treatment is the best. I feel as though I have some precious new friends.The center itself is a lovely, peaceful, inviting place.I highly recommend Dr. Gajawani and the Solace Center!

I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Gajwani and to suggest persons dealing with treatment resistant depression consider Ketamine or Spravato.I have been dealing with depression since my early 20’s . This past year again nothing was helping and I was becoming more depressed, despondent and desperate for help. My current psychiatrist suggested I consider Ketamine (or Spravato recently approved by the FDA) for the treatment of major depressive disorder not responsive to other treatments.My initial phone call to Dr. Gajwani office was an amazingly positive experience. Everyone on his staff was empathic and kind. Hearing the desperation in my voice they scheduled me late that day to meet with Dr. GajwaniThat first meeting began to give me hope. Dr. Gajwani took his time in listening, getting my history and discussing what results I had experienced over the years with various treatments. He explained Ketamine, how it works differently from other current treatments for major depression. Because Spravato was so recently approved we discussed openly that it could take weeks for insurance to approve any Spravato treatment. We agreed that I would begin treatment with Ketamine infusions and when possible move to the Spravato. Dr. Gajwani assured me that he would work with me and that together we would arrive at a successful treatment. Dr. Gajwani staff was helpful, diligent, and patient in getting the paperwork necessary to be submitted for insurance and handled everything.In the meantime, I began Ketamine treatments. I cannot say enough positive things about how everyone went out his and her way to make me comfortable with the treatments and was supportive ofthe experience. Kwan, who administered the IV’s each week was efficient and at the same time very caring and kind. Dr. Gajwani and his assistant are there monitoring my comfort and even being sure my husband, who accompanied me, was comfortable.It took a few treatments establish the best dose and fully begin feeling the effects of the Ketamine but there was a positive effect from the beginning. After getting insurance approval we moved to the Spravato, the nasal spray, once the best dosage was determined, the improvement has been unmistakable. I feel like a different person, the depression has lifted, I no longer feel despondent and I am able to deal with the daily challenges that before were incapacitating.Dr. Gajwani works with me to determine the best course of treatment, taking my personal situation into consideration. He does not have a one treatment fits everyone attitude. He has collaborated with me to determine the treatment, the timeframe of treatment, and makes adjustments according to my needs and results.I am feeling confident for the first time in years that I have found a physician that has true empathy, listens each time to what I am saying and works with me. The Ketamine and Spravto have been life changing and I look forward to continuing to work with Dr. Gajwani to maintain my positive state.

After 40 years of life destroying clinical medication resistant depression, and in spite of being given most of the depression medications on the market by multiple psychiatrists, I found Dr. Gajwani at the Solace Center and he recommended TMS treatments. There are absolutely no words to describe how at 74 years old it feels to have my life back. The life paralyzing depression is gone, thoughts of suicide gone, and I have a zeal for life again that I havent had since my 30s. The TMS treatments are a painless few minutes, so easy and the bonus of being in the loving, supportive environment at The Solace Center is a wonderful added bonus as a new found family. I cannot recommend the treatments here enough. The treatments and the loving Dr and staff have literally saved my life.

My car was broken into and my meds were stolen. There was a police report and case number but they would not refill my medications until seeing them. Normally it would be fine, but this was the Friday before Christmas and they were closed for 2 weeks.

I own my business with my husband and our schedules can be very hectic. I have followed Dr. Grogan from several different locations where she set up new shop. Everything was great until this new office. She is only in a few days out of the week with hardly any appointments available. I missed several appointments for work related reasons and was to able to make it to six appointments (I know thats a lot of missed appointments) but when I called to re-schedule this morning the woman at the front desk told me that Dr. Grogan was REFUSING to see me. I would be happy to pay the missed appointment fees if she would have see me. I understand the business side of things and know that missed appointments are money lost, but when you charge people for missed appointments, that is just free money in your pocket! Why refuse treatment to someone when they have a life!

Update: someone did call me from the front office several months later questioning me about the review. It was fairly awkward as I had to repeatedly explain that this review was the result of my experience with them and that I wrote it to share what I had encountered at their office as my inconveniences had never been addressed otherwise. It was the simple result of them making repeated mistakes, being negligent and shifting the blame to others. Im very forgiving but at some point things get way out of hand and need to be seriously addressed. I did speak to Doctor Gajwani and he apologized for the negative experiences I had and said the business was going through growing pains which I understand. He told me it was a scathing review that could hurt his business, but as it was my experience I believe people should post the truth on what they encounter at businesses. I was glad that he did apologize and sought to make amends for any inconvenience I experienced and for any trouble my medication might of caused. It does look like they have new staff members which is definitely a step in the right direction as well as it appears they have expanded their location. It looks like they are going in a new direction and my own experience is not necessarily what others might experience. I applaud them for making an effort to right their wrongs and grow from their mistakes.Original review: Avoid this place at all costs. Trying to get your medication filled is a nightmare and every worker there seems just as incompetent as the next. I needed a form for college that cost $30 within a certain time frame. Was promised it was being worked on and would be sent to my school. Had to go through the entire process five separate times and each time I called asking what was going on they acted like it was their first time hearing about it. I still had a record of all our email and phone correspondence that I showed to them and they merely brushed it off without so much as an apology. It was a time sensitive matter and still took them over two months to send my school a note that contained only 3 sentences. I even went to their office in person and talked to doctor Gajwani and he said he would be sure it was taken care of and sure enough it never was. I would save yourself the time and headache and go somewhere else. Doctor Gajwani pretty much will talk to you on your first visit and prescribe you some medication then every visit after that will last about ten minutes and will have little to do with how you are feeling or how the medication is working. Also as a doctor you are trained to look after your patients. I was prescribed several things that he never mentioned would cause physical dependence and doing my own research I got off of them. Also was never warned my medication could have severe side effects when combined with various common foods and over the counter medications. You will have more problems and headaches when you leave this provider than you ever had when you first started. Do yourself a favor and seek treatment somewhere that actually cares about you and your health.

LOVE this place! The receptionist Koel is fantastic and it is always nice when you come in and check in and they remember you by name. I have been coming here now for 6 months and Dr. Gajwani is AMAZING! He is always professional, yet friendly and comforting as well. He never makes me feel rushed and truly listens to me and helps me deal with my issues instead of just prescribing meds once a month like most of my doctors in the past have done. I highly recommend Dr. Gajwani if you need anything psychiatry related. In fact, I have 6 co-workers that see him as well and will all say the same thing about him. It’s taken years to find the “right doctor” to truly help me with my issues and not just keep me medicated. I could not be happier!

I can not possibly say enough positive things about Solace Center and Dr. Gajwani. I literally owe my life to them. Dr. Gajwani, Kayla, and Cuwella have gone over and beyond the call of duty, that is for sure. I am an RN, and I have encountered many physicians in my experience. Dr. Gajwani is by far the BEST physician I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, and I am blessed to be one of his patients. He is outstanding, an expert in both the science of psychiatry and the art of therapeutic communication. He truly cares. Kayla is amazing as well. On one occasion, she spent nearly an hour just talking to me during an anxiety attack. Some practices are all about the bottom line, and if it isnt going to be billed, it isnt happening. Dr. Gajwani, Kayla, and Cuwella truly care about people. They are angels on earth.

Great staff...very attentive to your needs.

Horrible experienceExtremely unprofessionalNever go to this establishment
