If you are looking for a doctor for medication management, Dr. Sunkureddi is a great choice. He is very knowledgable regarding psychiatric medications and is very willing to work with you to find the right combination for your specific condition. HOWEVER, if you are looking for a doctor who is also going to provide therapy/counseling at the same visit, he is not the doctor for you.

After ten years of being hospitalized every 4-6 months with the mood swings of a Bipolar I rapid cycler, I came to Dr. Sunkureddi. I had six psychiatrists who could not manage my medicine in 10 years and he was able to do it. In a short time, he found a combination of different medications, which have had to be changed frequently as moods change. But the result has been stability and I have learned about my disorder, how to adjust my medication, and how to manage my life and medication. I have not been hospitalized in six years.
