Alex Winstead

Incredible doctor... I've seen many different doctors and all of them seemed to just look at me as just another patient but dr.patkar always remembers the stuff going on in my life and truly wants to see me get better and I am so grateful.

Dr. Patkar has been a huge asset to our family. He is compassionate and extremely knowledgeable. He is involved in cutting edge clinical research and is considered a leader in his field. Dr. Patkar will go the extra mile but always keeps safety as a top priority.

Edison Watson

The best psychiatrist I have seen in my 42 years of life. I am a graduate school educated finance professional. He is absolutely the best addiction specialist I have been to. Well educated, informative and genuinely cares for his patients. I have been able to stay in recovery because of him. I would highly recommend him to anyone struggling with addiction. He has saved my life.

Frank Ercolanese

I've been with Patkar for a couple years and he's the best he knows how to help you and doesn't mess around. His heart is in the right place and I wouldn't recommend seeing anyone else in NC.

Dr. Patkhar is a very knowledgeable physician that genuinely cares about his patients. He has been my doctor for a little over 2 years and has made a huge difference in my life. I would recommend Dr. Patkhar to anybody that is struggling with addiction/substance abuse.

Dr. Patkar assisted us during a difficult time in our lives with persistence and compassion. He is a thoughtful listener to develop strategies and tactics to help develop a customized treatment plan.

Dr. Ashwin Patkar entered my recovery journey when I was unstable and at the brink of death over ten years ago. Through many episodes of relapse, mental instability and setbacks including the death of my teenage daughter he refused to give up on me. At a particularly low time in my recovery he said, "No matter what happens I will always be your doctor." I was relieved and grateful. He is a skilful clinician and genuinely cares for the whole person. He never gives up and always offers hope.

Peggie Crouch

My son has been going to Dr. Patkar for many years. He had several thing wrong with him that the Dr's were not able to find. Dr Patkar has him on the right meds and he is a different person. I would highly recommend Dr Patkar for your treatment.

Dr patkar is very knowledgeable and personable. He has compassion for his clients and really tries to relate and take a multi faceted approach towards recovery.

Dr. Patkar is the best there is. No other in the field compares to him. He will do everything he can in order for you to succeed because he genuinely cares. His knowledge is second to none. He's the only doctor I've ever looked forward to seeing. Everything I have today is because of Dr. Patkar.

James Chambers

Dr. Patkar helped me when I was at one of the most difficult junctures of my life. His attention to detail, genuine care for his patients, and the vast knowledge he has accumulated throughout his career are what sets him apart. Vicki at the front desk is exceptionally nice and always helpful as well. Since coming under his care I have been able to realize and achieve many life goals that previously I thought unattainable. By far the best experience I have had with any doctor. I consider myself to be extremely grateful to have found him.

Todd Hoover

Having been under the care of more mental health practitioners than I can count over the course of two decades, I can honestly say that for the first time in memory, I have hope that my future can become more than just a perpetual uphill battle. Dr. Patkar’s approach to mental wellness is refreshingly holistic, surprisingly sane, and clearly built on a foundation of great caring. In the 10 months during which I have been his patient, he has helped me piece together a much more complete picture of my brain chemestry than one typically expects from a mainstream psychiatrist; and in doing so has illuminated what I can confidently say is a solid path toward recovery and wellness. I really can’t say enough good things about my experience with Doctor Patkar (without worrying that I may sound like a fake or paid review.) I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone, for pretty much anything involving addiction and/or mental health.

Holt Gordon Jr.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Patkar’s since 2007. He is the only reason I’m able to write this today honestly. My addiction was so fierce and my mind so focused on my next drug i should be deceased. Family and friends and anyone who knew me had washed there hands of me and that is a feeling i wish on no one. Dr. Patkar isn’t just a great doctor he is a caring individual and great listener. No matter if it's mental struggles or addiction he truly knows what you’re going through. I struggle with heroin and he described the whole process of how it works and how it makes you do things you would never normally do like no other professional I’d ever met. He is “next level” with prescribing the right medication and I trust Dr. Patkar with my life. He is not a magician it took a good while for me not to be dependent on opiates but I was able to stop mainly due to Dr. Patkar. Be patient and he will help you, no question about it.

Kathy Greene

I started with Dr P. almost a year ago. When I first showed up at his office I was a wreck, suffering from severe bipolar depression and alcohol issues. With his guidance, understanding and thorough knowledge of current medications I now feel like a different person! I’m sober, my moods are under control and I remember what it is like to be enjoying life once again. Not only has Dr P been a life-saver but his caring, compassionate staff are great assets to his practice, adding to the overall great experience I have had working with this group. I would highly recommend Dr Patkar. You can’t get any better!

Linda Andresen

Dr. Patkar is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He is extremely thorough and involves family when necessary to ensure the best outcome for the patient. Highly recommend him..

Sean O.

I have seen many doctors over the years, but my experience with Dr. Patkar has been by far the best. I have been through some tough times this year and have greatly benefited from Dr. Patkar's knowledge, experience and industry connections.

Edward McDowell

Great physician. Extremely knowledgeable and very professional. Also, a generally nice person.

james edmundson

Awesome psychiatrist. I've gotten help here on two different occasions in the past few years and I couldn't ask for anything more. They don't force you to do anything you don't want to do. No waiting around either. You're seen almost immediately every appointment.

Ian Mac

Dr. Patkar has seen me through 4 years of sobriety and It is always a pleasure to see him.

Forduke Psychiatry

I was introduced to Dr. Patkar via another psychiatrist, as an adjunct to help manage substance abuse issues. After time, I came to realize that Dr. Patkar was much preferable in how he understood concerns, listened, and thought through best treatments, be they intended for substance abuse or just day-to-day struggles. He has had a positive impact on my life that I could never put a price on. Highly recommended.
