We have known Dr. Pavuluri for 10 yrs already. She began treating our daughter from the age of 12. Our daughter had been in 3 separate psychiatric hospitals in a span of 2 months, had been evaluated by countless other psychiatrists who really couldn't pinpoint a diagnoses, and she was put on numerous trials of medications , none of which helped solve her issues. Dr. Pavuluri literally saved our daughter's life. She found the correct combination of medications, but more importantly she got to the root of the problem and was able to slowly bring my daughter back to her true self and shine a light in the darkness. She was gently able to assist our daughter in regaining her emotional and physical control through the correct medications. Dr. Pavuluri just didn't write prescriptions. Even more importantly during every session, she counseled our daughter giving her tools and strategies to rebuild her self -esteem and expand her self awareness. All of this took time and patience, and Dr. Pavuluri was with us every step of the way. Dr. Pavuluri was and still is a miracle worker with our daughter. Her integrity, expertise, and personal relationship with us, the parents ,as well as our daughter has built a strong foundation which continues to today. Our daughter is now a college graduate with a bright future ahead of her thanks to Dr. Pavuluri. We will be forever grateful to Dr. Pavuluri for her persistence, dedication , compassion and hope in the face of our traumatizing fear, frustration, and hopelessness. We consider Dr. Pavuluri to be the top in her profession but also a dear friend.
